HRIS Support Analyst

Job Description

Purpose of Role

At International Schools Partnership (ISP), we are undergoing a massive global HR tech transformation. As our HRIS Support Analyst, you will be the foundational pillar of our Workday operations.

This is not a static role. You will join us during a critical stabilization phase to own our Tier 1 frontline support. However, as we transition our transactional volume to a global Tier 1 support model in the coming months, your role will naturally evolve into a Tier 2 Escalation & System Enablement position. You will act as the crucial bridge between our end-users, our extended global support teams, and our internal Tier 3 Center of Excellence (CoE).

What you will do

Phase 1: The Stabilizer (Months 1-4)

• Own the Frontline: Take full ownership of the current HRIS service desk, resolving incoming queries, security, and basic system navigation issues to provide immediate relief to our end-users.
• Operational Execution: Process foundational Workday transactions, assign basic security roles (following strict CoE protocols), and ensure data integrity.
• Reporting Support: Execute standard reports, manage report scheduling, and assist HR stakeholders in finding the data they need.

Phase 2: Transition & Enablement (Month 5 onwards)

• Partner Management: Act as the Tier 2 escalation point between our internal HRIS CoE and our extended global support structure. Audit Tier 1 ticket resolutions to ensure quality and handle complex user escalations.
• Tech Enablement: Help bridge the digital gap across the organization. Create Quick Reference Guides (QRGs), short instructional videos, and host internal webinars to teach business leaders how to effectively use Workday.
• Innovation: Collaborate directly with the Group HRIS Leads to design, test, and launch the new modules and releases.
• Growth Path: Opportunity to shadow Senior Leads and develop advanced skills in Workday Reporting, Dashboards, and specific modules.

What we are looking for:

• Experience: 1-2 years of experience in HR Administration, IT Service Desk, or HRIS. Hands-on experience with Workday is highly desirable, but a strong aptitude for learning complex HR systems is essential.
• Customer-Centric Mindset: You have infinite patience and empathy for end-users who struggle with technology. You don't just solve the ticket; you teach them how to do it next time.
• Analytical & Precise: You understand that bad data in HR has real-world consequences (like payroll errors). You are meticulous and detail-oriented.
• Resilience & Adaptability: You thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments where processes are currently being built and refined.
• Language: Fluent English (written and spoken) is required to support our global schools.
