At Meridian our aspiration is to integrate our purpose into everything we do for people, the planet, and communities. We believe that our greatest opportunity is to create opportunity and meet people where they are.
We’re looking for an HR Technology Technical Lead to take ownership of our HR technology ecosystem and help shape how more than 2,000 employees experience HR every day. In this role, you’ll be the technical authority behind our core HR platforms—configuring, optimizing, securing, and continuously improving systems that support the full employee lifecycle.
You’ll work closely with HR, IT, Risk, and business partners to turn complex needs into intuitive, scalable solutions. While this role has no direct reports, it plays a critical leadership role by mentoring others, setting technical standards, and leading cross‑functional initiatives that modernize and automate HR processes.

Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and proactively address configuration risks.
Maintain clear, audit‑ready documentation including configuration guides and security models.
Review vendor release notes and plan for the adoption of new features that add real value.
Partner with HR program owners and end users to understand pain points and deliver thoughtful, user‑centric solutions.
Apply rigorous change control to minimize the risk of defects, data loss, or unauthorized access.
Lead and participate in testing activities for system changes across the HR Systems workstream.
Establish and maintain appropriate role‑based access controls, including quarterly access reviews.
Review SOC reports and adjust system controls as required to meet security and compliance standards.
Work closely with HR, IT, Risk, and other partners to design automated, scalable solutions that reduce manual work.
Build a strong understanding of HR programs and practices to better contextualize technical requests.
Translate technical concepts into clear, practical language for non‑technical stakeholders.
Take on project leadership or project management responsibilities for new modules, features, or system rollouts as needed.
