Talent Systems Analyst

Why this role exists:

The Talent Systems Analyst connects Talent Department business needs with the systems that support them — HRIS, ATS, LMS, BI, and workflow automation tools. This person gathers requirements from stakeholders across the Talent function and Talent leadership, translates them into system and reporting specifications, and owns configuration standards and data architecture across the Talent technology stack. This is an individual contributor position centered on business and systems analysis where straightforward configuration tasks are part of the regular workload and complex builds are scoped out to engineering or vendors.

What you’ll drive:

Business & Systems Analysis

• Partner with non-technical stakeholders across the Talent function and Talent leadership to capture business needs and translate them into clear functional and technical requirements for Talent systems (HRIS, ATS, LMS), BI tools, Analytics Platforms, and automation platforms.
• Map current-state processes, identify gaps and inefficiencies, and produce requirement specs, workflow diagrams, and configuration specs that engineering, vendors, or the person themselves can implement.
• Own and prioritize the Talent Tech backlog — assess feasibility, effort, and business impact of incoming requests before they move to build.

Tech Stack & Data Architecture

• Define standards for core Talent Applications (business rules, workflows, permissions) and own People data architecture — field taxonomy, naming conventions, data ownership, and governance rules.
• Handle straightforward, well-defined configuration tasks directly; scope and hand off complex builds to engineering or vendors.
• Assess new tools and vendors against documented business requirements.

Automation & Integrations

• Identify where low-code/no-code automation (n8n, Make, Zapier) or API-based integrations can remove manual work across the employee lifecycle; write the requirements and oversee delivery.
• Maintain data consistency across the integrated Talent tech ecosystem.
