Human Resources - HR & HRIS Operations Administrator

Position Description: 

Infinite Electronics is seeking an HRIS Analyst to serve as the primary configuration owner of our Dayforce environment. This is a fully remote, hands-on role for someone who has configured Dayforce across multiple modules and can translate a business policy into a working system rule. 

Infinite implemented Dayforce recently, and the modules today are largely siloed and under-leveraged. Significant functionality we are already licensed for, including Compensation Management, Performance Management, and Succession Planning, is not yet in production. Numerous processes remain manual and external to the system. 

This role owns closing that gap. The successful candidate will interview stakeholders, understand how hiring, compensation, payroll, and reporting actually work at Infinite, and then configure Dayforce to support those processes rather than force workarounds around it. This is ongoing work, not a one-time project. New policies, acquisitions, and business changes will require continuous reconfiguration, and this role is the durable internal capability for that. 

The position carries both build and run responsibility. Alongside configuration work, it provides ongoing system support for the recurring processes that run through Dayforce, including weekly payroll and the annual Open Enrollment, Performance Management, and Compensation Review cycles. The successful candidate will be accountable for ensuring each cycle is configured, tested, and ready before it opens, and for resolving system issues while it is live. 

General Duties and Responsibilities: 

• Serve as primary administrator and configuration owner for Dayforce across subscribed modules, including Core HR, Payroll, Time & Attendance, Benefits, Recruiting, Onboarding, and Compensation Management. 

• Translate business and policy requirements into Dayforce configuration, including pay rules, earning and deduction codes, eligibility rules, workflows, forms, and approval chains. 

• Diagnose incorrect system behavior by isolating the responsible rule, policy, or configuration element, and implement and validate the fix. 

• Lead deployment of licensed but unimplemented modules, including Compensation Management, Performance Management, and Succession Planning. 

• Design, test, and migrate configuration changes through the full release cycle, including regression testing against payroll and time results before production promotion. 

• Administer security roles, user access, and data governance, maintaining appropriate segregation of duties across HR, Payroll, and Finance. 

• Build and maintain reporting and dashboards for HR, Finance, and leadership, and improve data quality and consistency across modules. 

• Manage integrations between Dayforce and downstream systems, including benefit carriers, retirement recordkeepers, and Finance, and monitor interface errors. 

• Evaluate and test Dayforce quarterly releases, assess impact to existing configuration, and communicate changes to affected stakeholders. 

• Provide system ownership and support for weekly payroll processing, validating configuration-driven results, resolving calculation and rule issues, and supporting Payroll through pre-commit review and close. 

• Configure and administer annual Open Enrollment in Dayforce Benefits, including plan year setup, rates, eligibility and life event rules, enrollment workflows, employee-facing content, and carrier file updates, and provide support throughout the enrollment window. 

• Configure and run the annual Performance Management cycle, including review forms, rating scales, routing and approval workflows, calibration support, and cycle reporting. 

• Configure and administer the Annual Compensation Review in Dayforce Compensation Management, including merit and bonus cycle setup, budgets, eligibility rules, guidelines, manager worksheets, approval routing, and downstream loading of approved changes. 

• Maintain the recurring HR systems calendar and ensure configuration for each cycle is built, tested, and validated in advance of the cycle opening. 

• Partner with HR Operations and Payroll to identify manual and off-system processes and systematically move them into Dayforce. 

• Document configuration decisions, business rules, test plans, and standard operating procedures so the environment is supportable and auditable. 

• Serve as escalation point for complex system issues and manage tickets and enhancement requests with Dayforce support and managed services. 

Education & Experience: 

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Information Systems, Business Administration, or a related field. Required. 

• Minimum of three years of hands-on Dayforce configuration experience across multiple modules. Required. Experience limited to end-user or reporting access does not meet this requirement. 

• Demonstrated ability to translate a written business policy into working system configuration and validate the result. 

• Working knowledge of payroll mechanics, including pay rules, earning and deduction codes, and how configuration drives calculation outcomes. 

• Experience managing configuration through a structured test and release process, including regression testing prior to production. 

• Experience building reports and resolving data integrity issues across integrated HR modules. 

• Experience supporting recurring operational cycles in an HCM platform, such as payroll processing, open enrollment, performance reviews, or a merit cycle. 

• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to work independently and own problems to resolution. 

• Sound judgment handling confidential compensation and employee data. 

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Dayforce implementation or post-implementation optimization experience. 

• Configuration experience running annual Open Enrollment, Performance Management, or Compensation Review cycles in Dayforce. 

• Experience with Dayforce Integration Studio, report writing, or API-based integrations. 

• Experience in a multi-entity organization or supporting acquisition integration into an existing HCM environment. 

• Hands-on multi-state payroll processing experience. 

• Dayforce certification in one or more modules. 

Physical Job Requirements: 

• Ability to work in a remote or office-based setting using standard office equipment, computers, and job-related technology platforms. 

• Ability to communicate effectively with employees, managers, vendors, and internal stakeholders in virtual and in-person settings. 

• Ability to view, interpret, and analyze information on screens, documents, and reports for extended periods. 

• Ability to work extended or adjusted hours as required by payroll close, quarter-end, year-end, and system release cycles.
