While protecting digital identities is at the core of our technology, protecting individual identities is at the core of our culture. We champion every identity. One of our core values, Respect Individuality, reminds us to celebrate differences so you are empowered to bring your authentic self to work. 

We're headquartered in Denver, Colorado and we have offices and employees around the globe. We serve the largest, most demanding enterprises worldwide, including more than half of the Fortune 100. At Ping Identity, we're changing the way people and businesses think about cybersecurity, digital experiences, and identity and access management.

• Help administer and improve FreshService as the HR Operations ticketing system, while providing timely and thoughtful support to employees and internal stakeholders on system troubleshooting and process questions
• Support administration and reporting for compliance and learning processes, including annual anti-harassment training in Docebo, while expanding systems support over time to additional platforms such as Quantum
• Develop and maintain SOPs, process guides, troubleshooting steps, FAQs, and knowledge base content so processes are documented, scalable, and not dependent on one individual
• Identify and implement process, system, and automation improvements that reduce manual work, improve the employee experience, and help the HR Operations team scale
• Lead or support the team’s adoption of AI by identifying practical use cases, creating agents or automations, and embedding scalable solutions into team workflows
• Partner closely with HR Operations Specialists and Managers, as well as cross-functional teams including IT, Payroll, Finance, Legal, HRBPs, Total Rewards, and Talent Acquisition, to resolve issues, improve workflows, and support scalable execution
• Bring forward new ideas, manage competing priorities and projects with clear milestones, monitor system releases and best practices, and support ad hoc reporting, audits, and operational initiatives based on team priorities

Qualifications:

Success Profile:

• Strong owner mindset with good judgment and a positive can-do attitude
• Systems oriented and process minded, with appreciation for day-to-day HR Operations work
• Organized and dependable, with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively
• Curious, proactive, and comfortable teaching themself new tools and concepts
