Living our values drives our team-first culture, helping us innovate, grow, and thrive together.

We are seeking an HR Applications Administrator to join our Business Technology / Enterprise Applications team, responsible for administering, configuring, and supporting the applications behind Five9’s HR, Payroll, and Talent programs — primarily UKG (formerly UltiPro), with additional support for Deel, Greenhouse, and various other HR applications.

• Build, test, and maintain business process workflows, approval chains, and notifications within UKG Pro and related HR systems.
• Support and maintain integrations between UKG Pro, Deel, Greenhouse, Degreed Learning Experience Platform, Replicon, and other business applications, partnering with Business Technology teams as needed.
• Perform system testing, including validation of configuration changes, patches, and vendor releases prior to production deployment.
• Coordinate periodic vendor releases and platform updates, assessing impact to existing configuration and coordinating regression testing with stakeholders.
• Monitor data quality across HR systems, and identify, troubleshoot, and resolve data integrity issues.
• Build and maintain reports and dashboards to support HR, Payroll, and business stakeholder reporting needs.
• Maintain clear, current documentation of system configurations, processes, and support procedures.
• Provide day-to-day user support and troubleshooting for HR application end users, resolving issues in a timely manner.
• Manage vendor relationships for supported HR applications, including support tickets, escalations, and roadmap discussions.
• Support the AI Center of Excellence by identifying and helping implement opportunities to leverage AI to automate hire-to-retire and payroll-related processes.
• Partner with Human Resources, Payroll, Finance, Business Technology, and InfoSec teams to gather requirements and implement solutions that meet business needs.
