Responsibilities
Own the HRIS product roadmap—proactively identifying gaps, championing improvements, and driving system evolution that reduces friction and enables scale across People operations
Push past surface-level requests to diagnose root needs, challenge assumptions, and co-design solutions that are durable, efficient, and built to last
Lead Workday configuration, release readiness, and testing for annual People programs and system updates to support on-time launches and smoother releases
Build and govern integrations across the People technology ecosystem, including troubleshooting issues and improving system reliability and uptime
Define and enforce security and access governance practices across People systems—navigating SOX ITGC requirements with fluency, keeping innovation moving rather than stalled
Create reports, dashboards, and analyses that help stakeholders make faster, more informed decisions with clearer and more reliable people data
Drive mass data changes, policy rollouts, and system updates with careful testing and strong attention to detail to keep data changes accurate and on schedule
Elevate system capability across the organization—enabling users and building toward a self-sufficient workforce that gets the most from the tools available to them
Qualification
Required
Deep, hands-on Workday expertise across HCM, compensation, benefits, time tracking, talent, performance, and security—with a track record of driving outcomes, not just managing configurations
Bring an AI-forward approach to people technology — actively experimenting with and applying AI tools to automate workflows, accelerate analysis, and eliminate manual work, while helping the team build the literacy to do the same
Experience building and scaling people technology in a public company environment with working knowledge of SOX ITGC requirements
Ability to approach people systems with a product ownership mindset, including defining problems, evaluating tradeoffs, and owning outcomes
Strong integration experience, including Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) and related Workday ecosystem tools, with the instinct to build solutions that are scalable, not just functional
Strong communication skills, with the ability to turn complex system logic into clear requirements, decisions, and stakeholder updates
Sound judgment in assessing business impact, downstream effects, and change management implications when designing system changes
Consulting instincts and presence: you've led design discussions, navigated ambiguity, and earned trust as the person stakeholders come to when they need a true thought partner, not just a ticket taker
Intellectual curiosity and a bias for action—you don't wait to be told what to fix; you find it, frame it, and drive it forward
