About the role

  • Lead Analyst for People Technology and AI driving automation in HR tech stack with Workday expertise. Transforming HR processes and ensuring system integrity through strategic partnerships and innovative solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Identify and own a continuous pipeline of AI and automation use cases across the HR tech stack; from intelligent data validation to LLM-assisted document generation, classification, and employee-facing tooling.
  • Design and deploy AI-powered workflows using tools like Workato AI agents, Claude APIs, and equivalent orchestration platforms, not as one-off experiments, but as production-grade automations with monitoring and documentation.
  • Use AI in your own daily workflow to research configuration options, generate documentation drafts, synthesize stakeholder feedback, and prototype solutions - this is a baseline expectation, not a differentiator.
  • Partner with IT and integration owners to identify where agentic or LLM-driven automation can replace manual data handling, approval routing, and reporting workflows.
  • Serve as the People Technology SME for Core HCM in Workday and our broader tech stack, owning configuration across the employee lifecycle.
  • Design, configure, and maintain complex, scalable solutions focused on automation and elevating the employee experience.
  • Act as a strategic advisor to stakeholders across Operations, Global Expansion, IT, FP&A, and other teams, bringing Workday best practice expertise to the table, proactively identifying gaps, and driving the roadmap forward rather than waiting for requests to come in.
  • Lead and execute M&A integrations and new entity builds end-to-end including due diligence support, data migration via EIBs, Day 1 readiness, and post-close harmonization, ensuring a clean foundation for all downstream modules from day one.
  • Lead complex, cross-functional technology projects in the People Technology space from requirements gathering through testing and deployment.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of hands-on Workday HCM configuration experience across complex, global tenants.
  • Demonstrated current AI fluency - you can walk us through specific tools you use (Workato, Claude, GPT, Zapier, or equivalent), how you've integrated them into real work, and what you've built or automated as a result.
  • Proven delivery in high-stakes programs: M&A, new entity builds, or major org restructuring - where you owned the technical workstream from due diligence through stabilization.
  • Deep fluency in Workday's data model, security architecture, and business process framework, enough to reason confidently about downstream impact across modules you don't own.
  • Comfort in the integrations layer: you know the difference between EIBs, Studio, Orchestrate, Core Connectors, and APIs, can read logs, and can triage issues independently without being an integrations developer.
  • Strong documentation habits - you treat written documentation as a deliverable, not an afterthought, and you use AI to produce it faster without sacrificing quality.
  • Strategic mindset: you push back when requests would create technical debt, come with informed opinions grounded in best practices, and shape the roadmap rather than waiting to be assigned work.
  • Exceptional stakeholder communication skills - you can translate complex configuration decisions for both engineers and executives, and you know when to flag risk early.

Benefits

  • Flextime, recognition, and support for autonomous work: Flexible time off with ample learning and development opportunities to continue growing your career.
  • Comprehensive onboarding program, leadership training for Titans at all levels, and other programs and events.
  • Great work is rewarded through Bonusly, peer-nominated awards, and more.
  • Holistic health and wellness benefits: Company-paid medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents, RSP match, and an employee assistance program.
  • Support for Titans at all stages of life: Parental leave and support, up to $20k in adoption reimbursement, on demand maternity support through Maven Maternity, free breast milk shipping through Maven Milk, financial planning tools, and more.
