• Develop a detailed understanding of inbound and outbound interfaces, including file layouts, field mappings, transformation rules, timing, dependencies, validation, error handling, reconciliation requirements, and downstream impacts.
• Conduct root-cause analysis when system, data, payroll, eligibility, or integration issues occur, and lead sustainable corrective actions. Ensure defects are documented, prioritized, resolved, retested, and formally closed.
• Promote clear ownership and governance for critical data elements, interfaces, operational controls, and issue resolution.
• Partner with HR stakeholders to understand business objectives, pain points, plan/policy requirements, service expectations, and operational risks.
• Identify opportunities to eliminate unnecessary steps, reduce manual intervention, strengthen controls, improve service delivery, and automate repeatable work.
• Support the development of a more resilient HR operating environment that reduces dependency on individual knowledge and third-party resources.
