HR Applications Specialist

Realize your potential by joining the leading performance-driven advertising company and a proud Great Place to Work® Certified employer in the US.

As a HR Applications Specialist on the Information Systems team in our New York Office, you’ll play a vital role in delivering and improving the systems and processes behind our global People organization.

In this role, you will partner with HR, Talent Acquisition and People Analytics stakeholders, turn their needs into practical solutions, and take projects from discovery to adoption. You are a strong executor who manages several projects at once and closes what you start.

To thrive in this role, you'll need:

• 3+ years in HR applications, HR technology or business applications.
• Hands-on experience with HR platforms, preferably Greenhouse and SuccessFactors.
• Experience writing SQL queries and working with platforms such as BigQuery to extract, analyze, and validate data.
• Hands-on experience with GenAI tools (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, etc.) and using them to improve workflows, analysis or delivery.
• A track record of delivering business applications projects end to end, and of managing multiple projects at once.
• Proven execution: you plan, prioritize, follow up and close without constant direction.
• Hands-on enough in the systems (configuration, data flows, testing) to be a credible partner to both the business and the technical team.
• Strong requirements gathering, process mapping and analytical skills.
• Strong communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including across time zones.
• High accountability and a can-do attitude.

Bonus points if you have:

• Low-code or no-code automation tools
• Jira

How you'll make an impact

• Own HR applications and automation projects end to end: discovery, requirements, process design, build coordination, testing, rollout and post-launch support.
• Run several cross-functional projects in parallel across HR, IS, IT, Security, Finance, Payroll and vendors, with clear plans, dependencies, risks and decisions.
• Partner with HR, Talent Acquisition and People Analytics teams to separate the underlying business problem from the requested solution
• Support and improve our HR platforms, including Greenhouse, SuccessFactors, Pigment & BigQuery & develop AI-based solutions in the HR domain
• Identify and deliver practical automation and GenAI use cases that cut manual work and improve the HR and employee experience.
• Coordinate vendors and implementation partners to land solutions on time.
• Establish ownership, documentation and support models for everything you launch, then track adoption and measurable results.

What success looks like in the first year

• Trusted relationships with HR, Talent Acquisition and People Analytics stakeholders, and a clear view of the HR applications landscape and backlog.
• Several projects delivered from concept to adoption.
• Better documentation, ownership and operating processes across HR applications.
• At least a few automation or AI use cases live and saving measurable time.
