HRIS Analyst

Robert Half
Des Moines, IA Full Time
POSTED ON 8/6/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/6/2028

Do you have the passion to shape the future of HR technology? Join a high-performing IT team in a role that brings meaningful impact!

 

Our client is seeking an exceptional HRIS Analyst with expertise in UKG Pro to become a key player in driving innovation and efficiency across their HR technology landscape. With an unrivaled team culture that boasts only one turnover in six years, this is your chance to make your mark in a role dedicated to HRIS system optimization, configuring workflows, and delivering workforce management solutions aligned with the organization’s strategic goals.

You’ll be at the heart of Phase 2 Workforce Management (WFM) deployment, ongoing system support, and expansions. Despite UKG Pro being fully implemented, there’s an exciting opportunity for someone to take ownership of enhancing workflows, creating structure, and unlocking the system’s untapped potential.

If you thrive on creating polished HR systems and driving transformative capability, this role offers both challenge and reward!

 

What You'll Be Doing:

As the HRIS Analyst, you’ll bridge the gap between HR operations and IT systems by:

  • Acting as the administrator for UKG Pro, driving system configurations, upgrades, and ongoing support.
  • Building and customizing scheduling templates across multiple locations (UKG Pro is highly configurable and demands hands-on innovation).
  • Driving business intelligence reporting through tools like UKG BI and/or Power BI—designing reports and delivering actionable insights to stakeholders.
  • Collaborating closely with the HR team to improve core functionalities, including payroll, timecard processing, performance management, and analytics.
  • Supporting the deployment of Workforce Management solutions, ensuring alignment with organizational needs.
  • Continuously optimizing the HRIS system to provide seamless HR operations and workflows.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Top-performing team culture: Join a close-knit team with an enviable retention record and a collaborative, growth-oriented mindset.
  • Drive measurable impact: This isn’t just a support role—you’ll lead system optimization efforts that have a tangible influence on business efficiency.
  • Career growth: With plans to invest in new roles such as Financial and Application Analysts, you’ll have room to grow as the organization expands.

With UKG Pro fully implemented and undergoing upgrades, the groundwork is set for a talented HRIS Analyst to streamline processes, optimize functionality, and unlock the system’s full power while preparing for 2025 Workforce Management milestones.
