HR Operational Infrastructure / Systems Implementation

We are looking for an experienced HR Operational Infrastructure / Systems Implementation Consultant  to support a major labor agreement implementation effort in Oakland, California. This 5-6 months contract position is ideal for a hands-on, detail-oriented individual who can convert complex union-related requirements into practical HR processes, controls, and tools that teams can use consistently. The role combines project leadership, workflow development, compliance-oriented documentation, and cross-functional coordination to ensure contractual obligations are administered accurately and on time.

Responsibilities:

• Direct a multi-stage HR project focused on putting newly finalized union agreement terms into operation across people processes and administrative workflows.

• Convert labor contract provisions into structured procedures, business rules, and functional process requirements that can be executed consistently by HR and management teams.

• Create and deploy centralized methods for tracking deadlines, approvals, accountability, and completion status tied to contractual commitments.

• Produce clear operational documentation, including standard procedures, process flows, templates, and reference materials that support reliable execution.

• Define responsibility points, escalation paths, review checkpoints, and audit-ready controls within each workflow to strengthen governance and oversight.

• Develop practical systems and reporting approaches that give HR visibility into upcoming actions, assigned owners, required timing, and task completion.

• Partner with stakeholders to test process and system functionality, identify gaps, and refine solutions before broader rollout.

• Deliver end-user guidance, training support, and knowledge transfer so teams can adopt new tools and procedures effectively.

Qualifications:

• At least 7 years of experience leading complex HR or operational project work, preferably in structured or highly regulated environments.
• Demonstrated background working with union agreements, labor relations processes, or contract-driven HR administration.
• Strong capability in designing workflows, standard operating procedures, tracking tools, and process documentation from complex requirements.
• Experience with HR compliance, policy interpretation, and building controls that support consistent execution and audit readiness.
• Proven project management skills with the ability to independently lead implementation efforts involving multiple phases and stakeholders.
• Hands-on experience with user acceptance testing, system implementation support, and process rollout activities.
• Ability to train end users and communicate new procedures clearly to HR teams, managers, and other business partners.
• Proficiency in organizing data, monitoring deadlines, and creating reporting mechanisms that improve visibility and accountability.
