Job Level

About the role

  • Lead and mentor a small team of HRIS professionals, providing the daily technical guidance and career pathing necessary to foster their professional growth.
  • Act as a strategic partner and primary liaison between HR, IT, Finance, and Legal, ensuring our HR technology stack is perfectly aligned with broader company initiatives.
  • Drive continuous improvement of the Workday HCM suite, including Compensation, Benefits, Talent, Performance, and Advanced Compensation to optimize the overall employee lifecycle.
  • Oversee the reporting strategy by architecting complex dashboards and advanced analytics that provide leadership with actionable insights into workforce trends.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to identify process bottlenecks and implement automated Workday Business Processes (BPs) that increase global efficiency.
  • Establish and maintain rigorous data integrity standards, security protocols, and system audit procedures to ensure world-class governance.
  • Lead large-scale implementation projects, managing everything from initial requirements gathering to global User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
  • Own the HR technology roadmap, defining a long-term strategy that prioritizes Workday feature releases and the seamless integration of third-party systems.

Requirements

  • 8–10+ years of hands-on experience in HRIS/HR Systems, with a deep focus on driving system scalability in fast-paced environments.
  • 5+ years of deep Workday experience, specifically in configuration of the following functional areas: HCM, LMS, Absence, Recruiting, Onboarding, Benefits, Compensation and Talent/Performance, and all types of integrations. Workday Pro certifications in any of these areas are a plus.
  • 3+ years of proven people management experience, with a track record of building, sustaining, and developing high-performing technical teams.
  • Expert-level communication skills, with the unique ability to talk API integrations with IT in the morning and present a strategic roadmap to the CHRO in the afternoon.
  • A methodical problem-solving approach to troubleshooting complex system errors and integration failures, ensuring minimal disruption to global operations.
  • Exceptional agility and the ability to thrive in an evolving environment where you must translate "tech-speak" into clear, actionable insights for non-technical users.
Benefits
  • Comprehensive Health & Wellness: Top-tier benefits package that includes a fully-covered High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), complimentary access to telehealth services, and a free subscription to Calm.
  • Growth & Development: Access to LinkedIn Learning, professional development programs, and career growth opportunities in a fast-growing organization.

  • Total Rewards: Generous 401(k) matching with immediate vesting, quarterly perks with commuter and lunch benefits for hub based employees or a stipend for remote workers, and a four-week paid sabbatical with bonus after five years.
  • Collaborative Culture: Work alongside brilliant, passionate colleagues in an environment that values innovation, teamwork, and mutual support.
