Human Resources Administrative Specialist

We are seeking a Human Resources Administrative Specialist who thrives on organization, anticipation, and impact—and who wants their work to matter. This role is far more than administrative support. You will be a trusted operational partner to senior HR leadership, ensuring the Michigan Medicine Compensation, HRIS, and Payroll functions run smoothly, efficiently, and with integrity.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Visibility & trust: Directly support the Senior Director of Compensation, HRIS & Payroll and the leadership team.
• Meaningful scope: Support compensation programs, ServiceNow intake, budgeting, audits, and department operations.
• Operational ownership: Establish rhythm, structure, and order in a fast-moving, high-impact HR environment.
• Growth-oriented: Build skills across HR operations, systems, analytics support, and project coordination.

Apply today and help power the HR operations behind one of the nation’s leading health systems.

What You’ll Do

• Keep the department running seamlessly by anticipating needs and resolving issues before they escalate
• Manage compensation-related intake through ServiceNow and departmental inboxes
• Support annual compensation planning processes and related initiatives
• Organize and maintain documentation to support audits, compliance, and tracking
• Coordinate meetings, calendars, materials, and logistics for leadership and project teams
• Process vendor invoices and track departmental budgets
• Maintain HR intranet content and support policy and process implementation
• Lead and support projects while serving as backup to other HR administrative specialists

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent combination of education and experience)
• At least 3 years of professional experience in HR or a related environment
• Strong technology literacy, including proficiency with Microsoft Office tools
• Exceptional attention to detail, judgment, and organizational skills
• A proactive mindset with a bias toward action, curiosity, and continuous improvement
• Ability to work independently while collaborating across diverse teams
• Commitment to Michigan Medicine’s core values: caring, innovation, inclusion, integrity, and teamwork
