As a Senior People Systems Analyst, you will be a technical anchor for our Workday ecosystem. This role isn’t just about maintenance; it’s about architecting the future of our People data. You will own the technical health of our HCM, Compensation and Prism environments, balancing critical KLTO (Keep Lights On) operations with high-impact strategic projects.

Beyond core Workday, you will act as a bridge to our broader tech stack, supporting and optimizing HRIS tools built on top of Workday to ensure a seamless data flow and a unified user experience.

You will play a pivotal role during high-pressure cycles like Annual Total Rewards (ATR), acting as a bridge between complex technical requirements and the urgent needs of our Compensation stakeholders.

Responsibilities
  • Architect & Execute: Lead the technical configuration for annual cycles (ATR/Comp Planning), driving technical requirements, implementation, testing, and deployment to ensure a frictionless user experience.
  • High-Pressure Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary technical partner for the Compensation team. You will navigate high-stakes environments with composure, translating urgent business needs into scalable Workday solutions.
  • Collaborative Escalation: Actively contribute to our supportive team culture by sharing knowledge and assisting peers. You must demonstrate the judgment to escalate risks and roadblocks timely, ensuring that “pressure” doesn’t become “blockage.”
  • System Subject Matter Expertise: Serve as the primary expert and point-of-contact for day-to-day support of Workday HCM & Compensation, managing business processes, integrations, reporting, and dashboards to ensure consistent, high-quality operations.
  • Data Orchestration: Leverage Workday Prism to ingest, transform, and report on high-volume data sets, providing leadership with actionable insights.
  • Document Engineering: Design and maintain professional, pixel-perfect compensation and stock statements using BIRT or Workday docs.
  • Strategic Roadmapping: Work alongside People Solutions to drive product-led strategic projects from discovery to deployment, ensuring our Workday footprint evolves ahead of growth
  • Operational Excellence: Manage KLTO work with high precision, serving as the Tier 3 expert for HCM, Advanced Comp, and Security.
  • Compliance & Governance: Maintain a rigorous posture on SOX compliance and Workday security model integrity.
  • Stakeholder Diplomacy: Partner with the wider Solutions team and our stakeholders to translate complex business needs into scalable technical requirements, setting clear expectations and managing project timelines.

  • Experience: 5+ years in HRIS/People Systems, with at least 3+ years of deep configuration experience in the Workday HCM, Reporting, and Advanced Compensation modules, including Merit, Bonus, and Stock impacting compensation review processes.
  • Data Discretion: Proven experience working with highly confidential information and supporting critical business operations and processes.
  • Communication: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to set clear expectations with senior stakeholders and the confidence to escalate issues when necessary.
  • Technical Tooling: Proven expertise in Workday Prism Analytics, EIB and BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools).
