HR Shared Services Specialist (Temp) at Waters Corporation in IN-Bangalore

Job description

• Waters Corporation's HR Service Delivery Centre supports approximately 16,000 employees globally. The HRSDC Specialist is a Tier 1 generalist role and the primary human point of contact for employees and managers whose issue the virtual agent or Knowledge Base could not resolve. This is a volume-driven role: breadth of case type across the full employee lifecycle, is what the role optimises for.
• HRSDC's service catalogue will keep expanding as the HR org design and RACI analysis work progresses, and Specialists at this level will take on additional service categories from various HR Centres of Excellence over time. Each new addition will be onboarded once the underlying process has been streamlined, globalised, and standardised, so HRSDC takes on genuine shared-service work.

• Partner with people leaders to ensure all standard employee data changes in SF EC are performed — promotions, transfers, job-code changes, leaves of absence, and position management updates — following the job/comp change model and backdate rules
• Coordinate the global offboarding process: execute offboarding checklists, ensure to educate line manager of employee’s systems exits, generate resignation letters where applicable
• Support BD conveyed employee onboarding: process standard system access requests per the onboarding matrix, handle FAQ inquiries, and flag exceptions to the senior HRSDC team
• Benefits, Payroll & Total Rewards Support

• Manage standard salary and pay changes within approved guidelines: validate manager approval and process in SF EC; flag abnormal changes to management immediately
• Manage pay transparency requests: provide own-job-code range per the documented Waters rule; redirect other-job-code requests using the standard script
• HR Data, Case Management & Digital Execution
• Manage case intake and resolution in the SNOW HRSD queue: triage accurately, categorise correctly, and resolve at Tier 1 wherever a documented KBA or SOP exists

• Author and maintain KBAs in ServiceNow for recurring case types; submit new KBAs to HR Knowledge Management function for review before publication

• Meet all SLA and quality benchmarks consistently; self-monitor against team dashboard; raise queue health concerns proactively

Requirements

• What You Bring — Essential
