HR Technology Project Manager – Remote Role

Stepping into a remote role as an HR Technology Project Manager means you’re at the center of shaping how people, systems, and technology connect. This isn’t just about tools—it’s about making work easier, smarter, and more human. With an annual salary of $131,147, this role gives you the chance to lead meaningful projects while working from wherever you feel most productive.

Why This Role Makes a Difference

Have you ever noticed how clunky HR systems can slow everything down? From handling payroll to onboarding a new hire, things often get messy. That’s where you come in. Your work ensures that HR technology isn’t just a back-end tool, but a driver of better employee experiences. With your guidance, companies can embrace an HR digital transformation that’s smooth, reliable, and people-focused.

What You’ll Work On Every Day

Building Better Systems

You’ll dive deep into Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS), ensuring they’re set up correctly and run smoothly. Consider when employees can’t find their benefits information or managers struggle with approvals. You’ll alleviate those headaches by streamlining workforce management systems and employee self-service portals, ensuring data flows where it should.

Rolling Out New Tech

When it’s time for HR software implementation, you’ll lead the rollout. That means working with vendors, HR leaders, and employees to ensure that every system—from payroll and benefits systems to talent management platforms—works together seamlessly, like a well-tuned engine.

Helping People Through Change

Let’s be honest—rolling out new systems can be overwhelming for employees. That’s why your role includes change management in HR technology. You’ll answer the “what’s in it for me?” questions, provide training, and help people adapt without stress.

Keeping Data and Compliance Secure

HR data is personal and sensitive. From social security numbers to pay details, it’s your job to ensure compliance and data security in HR. You’ll establish processes that safeguard information and enable leaders to make informed, data-driven decisions every day.

A Day in Your World

Your day mixes planning, problem-solving, and people time.

• Morning: Sync with the HR team to catch any system issues.
• Midday: Collaborate with vendors on implementing a new cloud-based HR solution.
• Afternoon: Host a training to walk managers through updated employee lifecycle management tools.
• Evening: Review progress reports and celebrate team wins (yes, even the small ones).

Remote work can feel lonely sometimes. Here, we keep things connected with weekly team huddles and quick Slack check-ins. You’ll always feel part of something bigger.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Hands-On Responsibilities

• Guiding projects from start to finish with clear HR project leadership.
• Mapping timelines, budgets, and deliverables.
• Maintaining smooth operations with HR process automation.
• Coordinating with finance, IT, and operations to ensure everyone is on the same page.
• Running reports and sharing insights through HR data analytics.

How You’ll Handle Challenges

Vendors might run late. Employees might push back. You’ll spot it early and steer things back on track.

What Helps You Succeed Here

Skills That Matter

• Strong background with HRIS and people operations technology.
• Experience in HR vendor management and implementation.
• Solid grasp of change management in HR technology.
• Knowledge of workforce management systems and integrations.
• Comfort with payroll and benefits systems and talent tools.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Curiosity: When something breaks, you don’t panic—you dig in.
• Empathy: You know change isn’t easy, and you take time to listen.
• Bridge-building: From HR leaders to IT, people trust you to connect dots.
• Grit: Even when projects hit roadblocks, you find a way through.

How Success Shows Up in This Role

• Tom once drove an HR software implementation where employees had to relearn performance management. He set up weekly office hours on Zoom, which helped build trust and smooth the adoption process.
• Maya focused on talent management platforms. She helped design dashboards that provided managers with real-time progress views, transforming reviews into meaningful conversations.

These are the kind of wins you’ll help create.

Where This Role Can Take You

This isn’t a static role. As an HR Technology Project Manager, you’ll get exposure to:

• Leading full-scale HR digital transformation projects.
• Designing scalable HR solutions that grow with the business.

The Tools You’ll Rely On

Here are the tools and processes you’ll use every day on the job:

• HRIS platforms, such as Workday, SAP, or Oracle.
• Cloud-based HR solutions that integrate payroll, learning, and performance.
