# Add or modify employee positions

As part of the Human Resources setup process, you define positions to describe employee job functions within the organization. Positions are associated with employees in the HR profile.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_hr\_core.admin

## About this task

Create position records for your organization. Other organization information, such as location and department information, is already set up in the ServiceNow system and used in User \[sys\_user\] records.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **HR Administration** > **Managed Lists** > **Positions**.

2.  Click **New** to create a position, or click an entry to open an existing position.

    If you view an existing position, the **HR Profiles** related list displays HR profiles of users assigned to the position at the bottom.

3.  Enter the **Position** title and select the **Department**.

4.  Check **Active**.

5.  Click **Save** to stay on the **Positions** form or **Submit** or **Update** to return to the **Positions** list.
