Job Description Summary:
University Human Resources (UHR) advances the mission and values of
W&M by advising and collaborating with W&M leaders to recruit, engage, and support an exceptional, well-rounded workforce. We provide
programs, assistance, and consultation at the campus, team, and individual levels to foster a productive environment in which employees can
flourish.
The HR Solutions Center Coordinator and Data Analyst plays a key role in the University Human Resources (UHR) function and
serves as the initial point of contact for general HR questions and Workday personnel action support throughout the entire employee
lifecycle, from new hire to separation.
The HR Solutions Center Coordinator and Data Analyst plays an essential role in supporting
daily operations and will frequently serve as the first point of contact for schools, departments, and employees across W&M. This position
delivers key support in multiple areas, including responding to employee inquiries and concerns, providing guidance on routine personnel
actions and processes, recognizing complex situations and directing them to the appropriate HR team members, ensuring accuracy of employee
data, and coordinating timely critical data corrections.
To succeed in this role, the HR Solutions Center Coordinator and Data
Analyst must develop a fundamental understanding of UHR and Department of Human Resources Management (DHRM) policies, employee benefits,

situations where reviewing and retrieving historical data will promote accurate and effective problem-solving. The ability to quickly absorb
and apply increasingly complex, highly nuanced information related to more complex employee actions and processes is a key competency for
this role. The ability to adapt swiftly as priorities shift is a valuable skill within this deadline driven environment. Additionally,
