Familiarity with alternative platforms such as Infor WFM, UKG, and Workday (beneficial as we conduct platform RFPs).

Experience with custom interfaces like PowWow Timecard.

Strategic Forward-Thinking (RFP & Modernization): Because we are evaluating enterprise platforms for the future, the ideal candidate doesn't just maintain the current Oracle/Infor setup—they bring a forward-looking mindset to help us assess, design, and transition toward our next-generation T&A architecture.

Global & Cross-Cultural Agility: As we scale initiatives like our multi-country FTO rollout across 30+ regions, success requires navigating complex, region-specific labor rules and harmonizing requirements across diverse international stakeholders.

Proactive Problem-Solving & Data Curiosity: The best analysts go beyond fixing tickets—they dig into SQL queries and reporting data (OBIEE/Cognos) to identify systemic root causes, prevent recurring payroll discrepancies, and optimize workflows before they impact the business.

Adaptability in a Lean Environment: Operating in a fast-paced, lean team means being comfortable pivoting quickly, balancing daily operational support with high-impact project milestones, and collaborating seamlessly across cross-functional engineering groups.
