HRIS Analyst & Operations Specialist

Steel Partners Holdings L.P. is a global diversified holding company seeking a curious, detail-oriented HRIS Analyst & Operations Specialist to join their HR Technology & Operations team. This role involves managing HR technology support, designing AI-driven automations, and improving HR processes to enhance operational efficiency.

What you'll do:

• Enter, update, and audit employee data in the HRIS System (new hires, transfers, promotions, terminations, and organizational changes), ensuring accuracy and consistency, and supporting core HR operational processes such as employee data changes, onboarding and offboarding, reporting, audits, and compliance tasks
• Support system configuration changes, testing, and validation under the guidance of senior team members
• Own and manage the HR technology and HR operations support mailbox, triaging incoming requests, resolving them promptly, and escalating complex issues to the appropriate team members
• Serve as a friendly, responsive point of contact for employees and HR partners across operating companies, ensuring a high standard of service and clear communication
• Prepare recurring and ad-hoc HR reports and dashboards, turning data into clear, actionable insights for HR leadership
• Design, build, test, and deploy AI-enabled automations using approved tools (e.g., generative AI assistants, workflow automation platforms, and scripting) to streamline HR and operational tasks
• Take ownership of assigned HR and HRIS processes end-to-end — mapping the current state, identifying pain points and handoffs, and driving improvements through to a measurable better state
• Apply Lean and continuous-improvement principles (e.g., eliminating waste, reducing manual steps, standardizing work) to make processes faster, more accurate, and more scalable
• Create process maps, standard operating procedures, and documentation so improved processes are repeatable and transferable across operating companies
• Define and track simple metrics (cycle time, error rate, volume, time saved) to quantify the impact of improvements and inform further iteration
• Manage small HR technology projects from initiation through implementation — defining scope and requirements, planning tasks and timelines, and coordinating the stakeholders involved
• Facilitate requirements gathering, configuration, testing, and go-live activities, keeping the project organized and on schedule

• Curious and detail-oriented mindset
• Ability to enter, update, and audit employee data in the HRIS System
