• Assess proposed changes for their impact on business processes, system configuration and integrations.
• Configure and maintain Workday business processes, tenant settings and security roles.
• Support system and User Acceptance Testing.
• Troubleshoot workflow and configuration issues and conduct root cause analysis.
• Maintain and configure plan types, eligibility rules and related business processes.
• Carry out mass data uploads and support complex Workday events.

• Design and maintain custom Workday reports.
• Develop expertise in new Workday functionality and support its introduction into the business.
• Identify user training and change management requirements.
• Develop supporting materials such as user guides, toolkits and job aids.
• Drive continuous improvement across Workday processes and the overall user experience.

Requirements

• 3+ years' experience within HRIS, HR Technology, IT or a related environment.
• Strong hands-on Workday configuration experience.
• Good understanding of Workday system architecture, administration and configuration.
• Experience configuring Workday workflows and business processes.
• Strong understanding of Workday security roles and permissions.
• Experience across multiple Workday modules, ideally including HCM, Compensation, Recruiting, Talent and Absence.
• Experience completing system testing and UAT.
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills.
• Understanding of HRIS integrations and data flows between systems.
• Ability to develop and maintain custom Workday reports.
• Experience working with senior HR and business stakeholders.

Desirable

• Experience using an IT service management or ticketing platform such as ServiceNow.
• Experience supporting large-scale or multi-country Workday environments.
• Exposure to organisational change, training and user adoption activities.
• Experience supporting Workday enhancements or continuous improvement programmes.

Ideal Candidate

The strongest candidate will be a hands-on Workday functional/technical analyst rather than a purely HR operational profile.

They should be comfortable configuring Workday directly, troubleshooting complex issues, working with integrations and reporting, and partnering with HR stakeholders to improve processes and system functionality.
