Your Role
You will support the Talent Department through system administration, customer service support activities and reporting, acting as a liaison between the HRIS and Talent Selection teams, as well as collaborating with other HR functions, other departments and the Information Technology team.  

This role will be project-heavy for a couple of years and you will balance hands-on system administration, reporting and analysis work with service. Our hope is that you will join us in short-order so that you can participate as we begin the implementation process. We’ve just recently selected the ATS and are on the ground floor of the initiative. Joining us now means you could be involved from project kick-off through to go-live and beyond. 

Your primary responsibilities will fall into three key areas:
  • System administration
  • Project management
  • Analytics and reporting
Here’s what you’ll get to do:
  • Provide subject matter expertise around optimizing and streamlining the ATS and associated Talent systems.
  • Play a key role in project initiation efforts by defining project scope and supporting the development of work plans, estimates, and timelines.
  • End-to-end project support, including business requirements, analysis, functional design, configuration, testing, and implementation.
  • Configuration of system to meet the business needs (e.g. processes, user interfaces, correspondences, etc.).
  • Develop business cases and financial analyses for major project investments.
  • Provide technical/functional support and the development/delivery of business user training for the ATS (train-the-trainer approach).
  • Identify, analyze, and document process flows, system diagrams, and data models.
  • Maintain the integrity of the ATS by conducting regular audits, streamlining processes, increasing data integrity and providing valuable guidance to end users.
  • Provide oversight and guidance to ensure that Talent Department systems and processes meet all data privacy, compliance, and regulations.
  • Leverage contract and vendor resources to provide prompt, personalized service to internal users and candidates.
  • Drive efficient reporting metrics & analytics and analyze impacts to downstream reporting and systems.
  • Create customized reports using relational database reporting tools such as Crystal or other vendor specific tools.
  • Leverage system and process expertise in analyzing and troubleshooting complex system/user issues to drive resolution and determine root cause.
  • Lead/manage issue resolution efforts across end-users, peer support groups, technical support teams, and vendors as required.
  • Work closely with system vendors to resolve any systems related issues, implement required updates, and design/maintain interfaces.
Post Implementation
Post implementation, you will serve as SME, supporting the product, working with the vendor, implementing enhancements, ongoing reporting, training, etc. Of course, we don’t expect to move into maintenance mode for a couple of years. There is a lot of room for system growth and several modules we anticipate adding once the ATS implementation is complete. 

Note: this description is intended to give you a general overview of the position and is not an exhaustive listing of duties and responsibilities.

About The Cheesecake Factory

The Cheesecake Factory story begins in Detroit, Michigan in the 1940’s. Evelyn Overton found a recipe in the local newspaper that would inspire her “Original” Cheesecake. Everyone loved her recipe so much that she decided to open a small Cheesecake shop, but she eventually gave up her dream of owning her own business in order to raise her two small children, David and Renee. She moved her baking equipment to a kitchen in her basement and continued to supply cakes to several of the best restaurants in town while raising her family.

In 1972, with their children grown, Evelyn and her husband Oscar decided to pack up all of their belongings and move to Los Angeles to make one last attempt at owning their own business. With the last of their savings, they opened The Cheesecake Factory Bakery and began selling Evelyn’s cheesecakes to restaurants throughout Los Angeles. Through hard work and determination, their business grew to a modest size and Evelyn was soon baking more than 20 varieties of cheesecakes and other desserts.

With great foresight and intuition, their son David decided to open a restaurant to showcase his mother’s selection of cheesecakes. Somehow he just knew that guests would enjoy a restaurant with an extensive dessert menu. It was 1978 and he opened the first The Cheesecake Factory restaurant in Beverly Hills, CA. The restaurant was an immediate success and today there are nearly 200 The Cheesecake Factory restaurants around the world that share the Overton’s commitment to quality and spirit of innovation and hard work.
