• 7+ years of hands-on HRIS experience with deep Workday knowledge across one or more functional areas. Workday Pro certification is a plus.
• A systems thinker who evaluates the full People tech ecosystem—not just what's possible in Workday, but what's the right solution for the business, whether that's native configuration, a third-party tool, or a smarter process.
• Technically fluent enough to understand integrations, data flows, and downstream impacts—so you can make good decisions and write clear requirements, even when someone else does the building.
• Skilled at translating ambiguous business problems into clear, scalable HRIS solutions. You ask the right questions before writing a single business process step.
• Experienced in end-to-end Workday implementation and enhancement work, including project management, stakeholder communication, and change management.
• Knowledgeable in Workday security model design and configuration, with an understanding of how security decisions affect user experience, compliance, and downstream systems.
• Curious about AI, automation, and emerging HR technology—and proactive about finding opportunities to apply them.
