• Develop and maintain functional documentation, including business process maps, configuration workbooks, solution designs, knowledge articles, training materials, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Support integrations and downstream impacts across enterprise systems, coordinating with integration and technical teams as required.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to streamline HR processes, improve employee and manager self-service capabilities, increase automation, and enhance user adoption through SME training and knowledge transfer.
• Provide guidance on Oracle HCM best practices, release management, and quarterly update impacts, ensuring business stakeholders are informed and system capabilities are effectively leveraged.
