• PeopleSoft (current HRIS)
• Exposure to Workday, launching in January

Who You Are:

• Highly detail-oriented and accurate — data integrity is critical

• Discreet and trustworthy with confidential employee information

Qualifications:

• Internship or 1+ year of experience in HR, data entry, billing, or benefits administration
