Responsibilities
Own Workday configuration end-to-end across modules such as Core HCM, Compensation, Benefits, Absence, Talent, and Security — always with scalability, auditability, and user experience in mind
Serve as the escalation point for complex issues, leading advanced troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and long-term fixes that improve stability and performance (not just one-off workarounds)
Design and maintain core Workday logic — including business processes, condition rules, calculated fields, eligibility rules, and validations — to keep data clean and workflows intuitive
Build reports, dashboards, and analytics that give People, leaders, and business partners clear visibility into headcount, programs, and trends — including advanced calculated fields and complex reporting use cases
Support and optimize integrations (EIBs, RaaS, and third-party vendors), ensuring robust data governance, security, and monitoring as Workday becomes more deeply embedded across our tech stack
Translate business needs into scalable Workday solutions, providing clear options, recommendations, and impact assessments for stakeholders at every level
Lead testing and release management for Workday updates and enhancements, including test strategy, regression testing, UAT coordination, and communication of changes to end users and leaders
Create documentation and training that sticks — from runbooks and configuration notes to how-to guides — to reduce single points of failure, upskill stakeholders, and drive adoption
Qualification
Required
4–6+ years of HRIS experience with deep, hands-on Workday configuration in a scaling or complex environment
Strong expertise in Core HCM and at least two additional Workday functional areas (e.g., Compensation, Benefits, Absence, Talent, Security)
Proven experience leading cross-functional HR programs and projects, ideally where Workday was a central system, and you were the primary technical/functional owner
Advanced reporting skills, including comfort with complex calculated fields, and dashboards tailored to HR and business stakeholders
Strong understanding of HR data governance, security, and compliance, including role-based access, audit needs, and controls for sensitive data
Pragmatic problem-solver with strong operational range — able to think through system design implications while hands-on troubleshooting complex HRIS workflows
Clear, confident communicator who can influence stakeholders, explain trade-offs in plain language, and build trust across People, Payroll, Finance, and IT
Preferred
Workday certifications in relevant functional areas
Experience supporting global organizations and multi-country configurations (e.g., different legal entities, time off plans, benefits rules, or regulatory requirements)
Experience in a high-growth or scaling environment where processes and org structures are evolving quickly
