The Department of Medicine (DOM) Operations team at Stanford University is seeking a full-time Human Resources Administrator (HRA), under the supervision of a Sr. HR Administrator, to join our Human Resources (HR) Transactions team in a shared effort to provide the best possible customer experience to our staff and faculty. The entire DOM Human Resources unit oversees day-to-day HR services for over 1,900 employees in 16 divisions and a central operations group. We are the first line of contact for employees, supervisors, and leadership within our department. Our HR team is committed to building a culture of improvement, integrity, inclusivity and community.
The HRA will serve as a resource on human resources policies and procedures for assigned divisions and will support multiple facets of HR-related matters including recruitment, time and leave administration, onboarding and exit processes, worker’s compensation and disability leaves, academic staff-research appointments (and related employment visa processing), and HCM data entry (hires, job changes, terminations).

To be successful in the role, the candidate will have strong communication skills, both oral and written, be able to think analytically and have exceptional attention to detail.
The University is preparing to launch Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM in January 2026 as our new HR and payroll system. The HRA is expected to participate in all required training and upon being trained, assist our managers and employees with navigation in the new system, as well as facilitate HR and payroll actions effectively and timely.
