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.
