In this position, you will serve a crucial role in helping the agency transition from hard copy HR/appointment paperwork to electronic paperwork and electronic routing. You will have the opportunity to help shape the new process and engage with key stakeholders to ensure we have factored in their needs and perspectives. This can be challenging work and you will need to think “big picture” with this transition and be able to pay attention to details in both the process and the electronic forms we create. What you will do: Supervise the Operations Technical Team: coach and mentor staff in all aspects of their work, be a safe and trusted resource for the team, provide guidance and remove barriers when needed, monitor and make adjustments to assignments as necessary, and ensure work is being performed accurately and in a timely manner. Establish an auditing schedule that is sustainable and effective. The integrity of our HR Management System (HRMS) data is essential to the successful operations of our agency. You will review existing measures and create a feasible plan for auditing entries into the HRMS. Create canned and customized reports and variants in HRMS or Washington Workforce Analytics to assist customers in making data-supported decisions and perform in-depth data analysis when needed.  Serve as the project management lead for implementing Electronic Content Management (ECM) for various HR processes and/or forms. You won’t be alone in this work but will be the subject matter expert for how ECM can be implemented successfully within HR Operations, which will have agency wide impacts. Identify, recommend, and lead improvement projects to create efficiencies (outside of ECM) related to HR Operations work (i.e. HRMS, employee actions, Family and Medical Leave Act & Shared Leave, position paperwork). On occasion, process appointment or position actions by entering data into HRMS. Qualifications Required Qualifications: Years of required experience indicated below are full-time equivalent years. Full-time equivalent experience means that any experience where working hours were less than 40 hours per week will be prorated in order to meet the equivalency of full-time. We would calculate this by looking at the total hours worked per week, divide this by 40, and then multiply by the total number of months worked. Examples of the proration calculations are: 30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent 20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent Experience for both required and desired qualifications can be gained through various combinations of formal professional employment, education, and volunteer experience.
