WHAT YOU'LL DO
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE SYSTEM
Model end to end: security groups, domain and business process security policies, role assignments, and proxy and delegation access, with sound judgment about when to use each
Lead security and data audits using delivered and custom audit reports to analyze access patterns, remediate exceptions, enforce least-privilege access, and uphold segregation of duties
Own Core HCM and Advanced Comp configuration: including supervisory organizations, staffing models, job and compensation structures, location and cost center hierarchies, and worker data integrity
Design, build, and maintain inbound and outbound integrations using EIB, Core Connectors, Workday Studio, Orchestration, and Workday web services (SOAP/REST, RaaS)
Own integration security and reliability: integration system users (ISUs), integration system security groups, credential management, and monitoring and alerting on integration failures
Manage integrations with downstream and upstream systems, including identity providers, applicant tracking, benefits carriers, finance, and other internal tools, partnering with Engineering and IT on data contracts and error handling
Lead impact analysis and regression testing for Workday’s biannual feature releases and for internal changes, including how HCM, security, and integration changes ripple through our systems
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE BUSINESS
Translate business requirements from our internal partners into scalable system design, and document configuration decisions as you go
Build trusted relationships with partner teams, acting as a translator between technical configuration and business needs
Partner with Legal, Security, and Compliance teams to make sure People data handling meets our regulatory, privacy, and audit obligations
Support change management for system updates and new functionality: communicate what’s changing and why, prepare documentation and enablement materials, and make sure changes land well with the people who use them
Configure alerts, scheduled reports, and report security so the right data reaches the right people automatically
Triage and resolve day-to-day system and integration issues, getting to root cause rather than patching symptoms
Actively look for where AI and automation can strengthen how People Systems works, from testing, documentation, and requirements drafting to ticket triage, integration monitoring, and report generation
Drive process automation and optimization opportunities with the broader People team and partner functions

WHO YOU ARE
A translator between configuration and business needs: you can explain a security model to an HR partner without losing them
Detail-oriented, and you write things down so the next person doesn't have to reverse-engineer your work
Someone who gets to the root cause; a recurring integration failure is a problem to solve, not a ticket to close
Calm with competing priorities, and good at knowing which ones matter most
Someone who builds trust with partner teams by being reliable, clear, and easy to work with
Curious about where automation and AI can take repetitive work off the team's plate
