Our client, is seeking a high-performing, self-directed HR Systems Analyst to join their human resources technology team during a period of rapid system transformation.

In this critical, hands-on role, you will serve as a functional bridge between business operations, HR, IT, and external vendors to drive two concurrent, large-scale system rollouts. You will focus heavily on system configuration, data mapping, process workflows, and large-scale data workbook manipulation.

Position Type: 6-Month Contract

Advantages
High-Visibility System Transformation: Play a pivotal role in driving dual enterprise-wide HRIS and payroll system implementations.

Collaborative Hybrid Environment: Enjoy a balanced hybrid work schedule combining remote flexibility with 3 collaborative on-site days per week in the Vancouver office.

Dynamic Enterprise Exposure: Work directly alongside senior global payroll and implementation leaders across cross-functional business groups.

Responsibilities
Implementation & Data Management: Build, manipulate, and systematically audit large-scale data workbooks containing hundreds of detailed spreadsheets submitted via secure file transfers (SFTP).

System Configuration & Workflow Mapping: Map legacy system data structures into new target HRIS environments; design and validate functional process workflows.

Testing & Quality Assurance: Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) cycles, analyze system errors, execute defect resolution, and validate source-to-target data integrity.

Stakeholder & Vendor Coordination: Partner closely with global payroll managers, HR teams, IT leads, and external implementation partners to keep project milestones strictly on schedule.

Qualifications
Multi-Implementation Track Record: Proven functional experience executing multiple complex human resources and payroll system implementations (not just a single project).

Advanced Excel & Data Skills: High level of proficiency in Microsoft Excel, with a demonstrated ability to manipulate, audit, and clean massive datasets across complex multi-tab workbooks.

Functional HRIS Focus: Deep functional expertise in system configuration, business process workflows, and data mapping (acting as a functional bridge rather than a software developer).

Compliance & UAT Leadership: Proven track record leading UAT testing and managing system documentation within SOX-compliant environments.

Immediate Availability & Holiday Commitment: Immediate availability to start, with a firm willingness to work through the majority of the Christmas and New Year holiday period to support go-live milestones.

Experience operating within SOX-compliant enterprise environments.

Broad experience across diverse industry sectors.
