Job Title: IT Solutions Analyst, Workforce Time and Payroll
Department: Information Technology
Position Summary
The IT Solutions Analyst for Workforce Time & Payroll is an IT Applications resource responsible for supporting and advancing the technology, processes, integrations, data, and controls that enable the end-to-end time-to-pay lifecycle - from time capture through payroll processing, downstream financial systems, and related third-party applications. The role serves as a strategic liaison between Payroll, Human Resources, Benefits, Finance, Operations, IT, and external technology and payroll providers.
Beyond day-to-day application support, this role is expected to actively drive the adoption, optimization, and strategic evolution of our time-to-pay business processes and supporting enterprise applications - identifying opportunities to modernize, automate, and reimagine the time-to-pay experience, including through AI-enabled capabilities.
The successful candidate will combine strong knowledge of U.S. payroll and workforce processes with business analysis, application support, data analysis, testing, and solution delivery skills, and will understand how employee data, time and attendance, accruals, absences and leave, earnings and deductions, payroll processing, taxes, accounting, integrations, and downstream financial processes work together.
While the position resides within IT, success requires equal fluency in business operations and technology - the ability to translate business and payroll requirements into technical solutions, and to challenge the status quo rather than simply maintain it.
