Purpose of the Job

Doceree is seeking a hands-on Director of HR Operations and HRIS to lead the functional implementation and operationalization of Workday and build the scalable HR infrastructure needed to support our continued growth.

Initially, this role will focus heavily on the successful design, implementation, launch, and stabilization of Workday. The Director will translate business and HR requirements into well-designed processes, system workflows, controls, data standards, operating procedures, and user experiences. This individual will work closely with HR leadership, Finance, IT, business stakeholders, global partners, and the Workday implementation team to ensure that the platform is configured to support both current needs and future growth.

Following implementation, the Director will assume ongoing responsibility for HRIS governance and optimization, HR operational governance, compliance infrastructure, workforce data integrity, reporting, and process excellence.

This is a highly visible, hands-on Director-level position. The successful candidate must be equally comfortable influencing senior stakeholders, making thoughtful recommendations, documenting a detailed process, reviewing data, developing test scripts, resolving implementation issues, and helping the organization prepare for go-live.
