POSITION SUMMARY:
The UKG Pro Administrator reports to the Senior Human Resources Director and serves as the in-house expert for the Tsuut’ina Nation’s human capital management system (UKG Pro). The position configures, administers, secures, and maintains the platform in support of the Nation’s government administration, spanning Core HR, Recruitment, Onboarding, Compensation, Performance Management, Payroll, and Timekeeping. The incumbent builds and automates workflows, keeps employee and pay data secure, and delivers reporting that supports sound decisions. This is a system administration role and does not process payroll. It requires strong technical skill, sound judgment, discretion with sensitive information, and the ability to explain the system in plain language to all users.

Maintain correct system treatment of taxable and exempt employment income, including the on-reserve tax exemption for eligible employees.
Access and Security: Define and assign role-based access so that staff see only the information they are authorized to access, build custom security roles, and manage service accounts and secure access keys for backend processes.
Data Integration and Integrity: Manage integrations with other systems, including single sign-on, the finance general ledger, and direct deposit bank files, and lead the mapping, validation, and audits that keep employee and pay data accurate.
Reporting and Analytics: Build and distribute custom reports and dashboards using UKG Pro People Analytics and business intelligence tools (Cognos), giving leadership clear information on trends such as turnover, overtime, and labour costs.
Updates and Change Management: Manage scheduled UKG Pro releases by reviewing release notes, testing changes in a sandbox before they reach production, and communicating new features to staff to keep disruption low.
Support and Training: Act as the main point of contact and escalation for system access and troubleshooting, manage support cases with UKG, and develop training materials and sessions that build strong adoption across the Nation.
