Analyze organizational structures, responsibilities, workforce data, and work processes to develop practical recommendations and deliver assigned improvement initiatives. Own analysis, project execution, and follow-through within an agreed scope, while aligning priorities and decisions with the relevant HR owners.\nBuild an understanding of business operations through collaboration with HR partners and participation in business-facing projects. Engage managers and operational stakeholders as needed to gather input, validate findings, and support implementation, in coordination with the relevant HR partner. This hands-on individual contributor role emphasizes analytical thinking, sound judgment, and delivery; training is one possible intervention, not the default solution.\nKey Responsibilities\nHR Stakeholder Partnership & Organizational Analysis\nWork with HR partners and functional specialists to understand priorities, gather employee and manager input, and define the problem to be addressed. \nDevelop knowledge of business workflows, operating requirements, and the people implications of business decisions through assigned projects.\nAnalyze organizational structures, responsibilities, reporting relationships, and cross-functional handoffs within assigned projects. \nIdentify unclear ownership, duplication, and process gaps; validate findings with the relevant HR owner and operational stakeholders.\nDevelop practical options with supporting evidence, resource implications, risks, and proposed success measures. \nReview recommendations with HR stakeholders and secure required approvals before implementation.\nChange Management & Process Improvement\nIndependently manage assigned HR improvement projects or defined workstreams, with scope, priorities, and decision boundaries agreed with the HR project owner. \nMaintain milestones, track dependencies, resolve issues within authority, and escalate risks with recommendations.\nSupport change-impact and readiness assessments with HR partners.\nPrepare communication materials, coordinate stakeholder input, and track adoption; recommend adjustments when implementation is not achieving the intended outcomes.\nMap and improve HR workflows with process owners and relevant functional partners.\nClarify handoffs, document approved practices, and support implementation and ongoing ownership of improvements.\nOrganizational Programs & Implementation Support\nPrepare analysis and materials for discussions on role clarity, team collaboration, and ways of working. \nFacilitate defined sessions with the relevant HR partner as appropriate, and track agreed actions and follow-up.\nWork with HR colleagues to implement and improve organizational programs. Translate engagement findings and employee feedback into proposed actions for HR review. Where a capability gap is confirmed, support targeted development and evaluate application on the job rather than attendance alone.\nHandle sensitive organizational information with discretion. Recognize employee-relations or compliance concerns and involve the appropriate HR or legal specialists within established decision boundaries.\nWorkforce Analytics & Effectiveness Measurement\nIndependently clean, reconcile, and analyze workforce, organization, engagement, and process data. \nValidate definitions and calculations, identify trends, and distinguish evidence from assumptions.\nAgree baselines and outcome measures with the HR project owner. \nTrack adoption, process cycle time, role clarity, stakeholder feedback, and other relevant indicators, acknowledging limitations in attributing results.\nPresent concise analysis and recommendations to HR stakeholders, explaining evidence, assumptions, alternatives, and proposed actions. \nIncorporate business input gathered through project work and follow through on agreed improvements.\nMinimum Qualifications\nPreferred Experience\nExperience in semiconductor, technology, engineering, manufacturing, or other complex matrix organizations. Exposure to organizational design, workforce planning, employee engagement, or change implementation across functions. Familiarity with Workday, Power BI, or comparable HR and reporting tools is an advantage.\nCore Capabilities & Working Approach\nBring independent problem-solving, data literacy, HR stakeholder collaboration, and disciplined execution. Develop business understanding by investigating how work is performed and connecting operational needs to HR recommendations. Challenge assumptions respectfully and explain conclusions in one's own words. Own work quality and follow-through; organizational decisions remain with the designated HR and business owners.\nUse AI and automation as supporting tools, not substitutes for personal analysis or judgment. Independently verify generated facts, calculations, and recommendations, identify limitations or bias, and protect confidential information through approved tools and practices.\nSuccess Measures\nReliable delivery of assigned projects and workstreams against agreed scope, milestones, and outcome targets, with timely risk escalation.\nDocumented improvements in HR process efficiency, role clarity, or handoffs within the assigned scope, measured against agreed baselines.\nEffective collaboration with HR stakeholders and sustained adoption of approved changes, with clear action ownership and follow-up.\nAccurate, traceable analysis that informs HR decisions, and demonstrated understanding of business operations through relevant project recommendations.\nWe offer a competitive, family friendly total rewards package. We design our programs to reflect our commitment to an inclusive environment, while ensuring we provide benefits that meet the diverse needs of our employees.\nKLA is proud to be an equal opportunity employer\nBe aware of potentially fraudulent job postings or suspicious recruiting activity by persons that are currently posing as KLA employees.
