Lead HRIS Analyst

Lakeshore Learning's products reach millions of children through the educators and families who trust us - and the systems that power our people operations have to be just as thoughtful as the products we make. As our Lead HRIS Analyst, you'll hold the configuration design decisions for our HCM platform, working from business requirements set by HR leadership, and turn what HR needs into a system that works for everyone who touches it. This is a hands-on role for someone who knows enterprise HCM deeply and takes real pride in getting the details right.

A day on the job looks like this: 

• Hold configuration design decisions across the platform, turning approved business requirements into system design including reporting and calculated fields, weighing partner recommendations, and building and validation configuration against agreed design.
• Design the security and workflow model for all user populations, turning access requirements into group structure and security policy, partnering with IT on access governance and identity management, and documenting configuration standards.
• Define integration requirements for payroll, timekeeping, and third-party vendors, including data mapping and error handling, and approve sign off on.
• Determine data conversion and mapping design, define cleansing requirements, and review converted data each cycle to decide whether it's ready.
• Design the end-to-end test approach, including payroll parallel runs and user acceptance testing and prioritize.
• Serve as the HRIS team's subject matter expert on HCM configuration and reporting, bring the team up on the platform, and document design decisions so the rationale stays with Lakeshore
