HCM Technical Business Analyst Enterprise

Overview

The HCM Technical Business Analyst is a key member of the Enterprise Application Services (EAS) team and serves as a functional-technical lead supporting the University's enterprise HR systems. The role's initial focus is People Soft HCM, with specialization in either Benefits Administration or Payroll, and responsibility for supporting additional HCM modules and future cloud-based ERP platforms as UVM prepares for an HR/Finance ERP replacement.
