Position Overview
We’re looking for a high-impact HRIS-UKG Administrator to lead and continuously elevate our UKG Pro (UltiPro) platform.

Key Responsibilities
- Administer and optimize Crete United’s UKG Pro platform, ensuring system integrity, performance, and seamless functionality across HR, Payroll, and IT.
- Own the UKG system roadmap, from identifying needs to developing scalable workflows and implementing custom configurations that meet business goals.
- Manage system integrations for new acquisitions, including data migration, user setup, compliance configuration, and stakeholder training.
- Take ownership of ticket resolution, enhancement requests, and technical troubleshooting with clear, timely communication.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to gather requirements and drive process improvements in areas like onboarding, benefits, payroll, compliance, and reporting.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation, SOPs, and training guides; lead workshops or one-on-one training sessions as needed.
- Partner closely with IT, HR, Finance, and leadership to ensure system alignment with organizational goals and maintain data governance and security standards.
- Anticipate system-related challenges before they become blockers, always maintaining a proactive, solution-first mindset.
- Track UKG releases and industry best practices, ensuring Crete leverages the full capabilities of the platform.
What Success Looks Like
- You respond quickly, follow through completely, and own every task you touch.
- You don’t walk past broken processes—you fix them.
