What are the responsibilities and job description for the HRIS Analyst position at iStaff?
About the Role

- Lead requirements gathering, functional documentation, and user acceptance testing for HR system enhancements.
- Support HR teams with onboarding, recruiting, time & attendance, and other UKG modules.
- Conduct data analysis and produce insights using Excel; ensure accuracy and consistency of HR data.
- Troubleshoot issues, escalate when needed, and collaborate with IT on system-related resolutions.
- Facilitate effective communication across HR, IT, and business stakeholders.
- Assist with conflict resolution related to process gaps, system usage, or cross-functional dependencies.
- Maintain compliance and support audit activities as needed.
