• Act as a primary point of contact for HR stakeholders, gathering requirements for feature enhancements and managing their implementation
• Maintain a deep functional understanding of system configurations and integration points to ensure products meet business requirements
• Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) based on clear "Pass/Fail" criteria to ensure software releases match defined specifications
• Manage day-to-day interactions with technology vendors, including tracking support tickets and standard feature requests
• Monitor and report on product adoption metrics to track employee engagement with new features
• Successfully pivot between different HR applications as business needs shift, quickly gaining subject matter expertise in new tools

Education and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business Administration, Human Resources, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• Minimum of 2–4 years of experience in technical support, configuration, or a product-related role

• Proven experience working in both Agile and Traditional (Waterfall) project environments 

Skills and Qualifications:

• Excellent interpersonal skills, capable of explaining technical issues to non-technical stakeholders
