Serve as HR's primary point of contact with software vendors, including ADP and ServiceNow, partnering with Accounting on ADP Workforce Now given both teams' shared reliance on the system, and working with IT/Application Management colleagues to ensure timely resolution of issues within established service-level agreements (SLAs) and continuous improvement of the HR technology environment
Partner within the HR team to develop and maintain standard and ad hoc reports and dashboards ensuring accuracy and consistency while safeguarding the confidentiality of sensitive employee data
Conduct regular audits of HRIS data to identify and resolve discrepancies, ensuring data accuracy and integrity across ADP Workforce Now, ServiceNow, and downstream systems
Support HR compliance reporting requirements (e.g., EEO-1, VETS-4212, ACA) by producing accurate, audit-ready data extracts from HRIS platforms
Use AI-assisted tools within firm controls to accelerate data validation, report drafting, and documentation, retaining human review over decisions affecting employee records and compliance reporting
Document configurations, integration specifications, and support procedures; develop end-user knowledge articles; and deliver HR technology training to HR and business users
Own application administration for HR systems, including user provisioning, security role maintenance, data integrity controls, and audit support — coordinating ADP Workforce Now configuration and changes with HR and Accounting as shared stakeholders — ensuring compliance with data privacy and NISA's information security and data-handling standards given the sensitivity of employee data
Lead testing and validation of system updates, patches, releases, and new feature rollouts, including ADP Workforce Now and ServiceNow upgrades, coordinating with IT/Application Management on technical execution and deployment
Define requirements and business needs for ServiceNow HR Service Delivery components — workflows, catalog items, forms, and cases — and partner with IT/Application Management on configuration deployment
Serve as the subject-matter expert for NISA's HR technology platforms, performing root-cause analysis and partnering with IT/Application Management on complex technical escalations

Solid understanding of core HR business processes and the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, benefits, time and attendance, performance, and offboarding
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a high attention to detail and data accuracy
Ability to handle confidential and sensitive employee information with discretion and sound judgment
