Staff HRIS Analyst, People Technology - Workday

What You’ll Do

• 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.

What You’ll Bring

• 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.
