The HRIS Manager plays a critical role in enabling NAYA’s growth by ensuring our people systems are accurate, efficient, and easy to use for both field and Support Center teams. This role owns the infrastructure that supports the full employee lifecycle—from hiring and onboarding to training, performance, and development—while ensuring our systems support compliance with federal, state, and local labor and employment laws.

By improving system integration, automating processes, strengthening data quality, and maintaining compliant workflows for areas such as I-9/E-Verify, scheduling, Fair Work Week Law compliance, recordkeeping, and policy acknowledgments, the HRIS Manager reduces administrative burden, improves the team member experience, and mitigates legal risk. Ultimately, this role connects our people strategy to operational excellence and helps ensure we scale with consistency, clarity, and care.
