A Day in the Life

The Senior HR Shared Services Specialist will play a critical role in transforming Global Compensation Operations from a highly manual, audit-driven model to a scalable, automated, and insight-focused function. This role is responsible for evaluating existing audit processes, identifying opportunities for optimization, and designing automated controls and monitoring solutions that improve efficiency, quality, compliance, and customer experience.

Working across Compensation, HR Operations, Payroll, HRIS, and Technology teams, this individual will leverage automation tools, analytics, and process improvement methodologies to reduce manual effort, strengthen governance, and enable the team to focus on interpreting results and driving business outcomes rather than performing repetitive audit activities.

Responsibilities may include the following:

• Design and automate compensation audits, controls, and validation processes.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency through automation and process optimization.
• Build dashboards, reports, and metrics to monitor operational performance and compliance.
• Analyze trends, risks, and audit findings to drive corrective actions.
• Partner with Compensation, HRIS, Payroll, IT, and business teams to implement scalable solutions.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives that reduce manual work and operational risk.

Required Knowledge and experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, HR, Finance, Information Systems, Analytics, or a related field.
• 4 years of experience in Compensation Operations, HR Operations, HRIS, auditing, analytics, or process improvement.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and process optimization skills.
• 4 years of experience creating dashboards, reports, automated workflows, and controls.
• Knowledge of enterprise systems such as Workday, SAP, Oracle, or SuccessFactors.
• Experience with automation and analytics tools (Power BI, Power Automate, SQL, Python, AI tools, or similar).
• Understanding of audit, compliance, risk, and governance principles.
• Proven ability to collaborate across global, cross-functional teams and manage multiple priorities.
