Job Summary
The HRIS & Workforce Analytics Manager serves as the organization’s primary subject matter expert for HR systems, workforce reporting, and analytics. This role focuses on developing workforce dashboards, executive reporting, and data-driven insights, along with designing and building automated workflows to improve HR process efficiency.
