Job Description:

The Senior HRIS Analyst serves as a subject matter expert in the HR department by leveraging HR System (Workday) functionalities to optimize and streamline HR and HR Operational processes. We are looking for someone who began their career in an HR functional area — such as HR Generalist, Recruiting, Benefits, or HR Operations — and has since developed expertise in HR systems. This is an HR role, not an IT role. This role sits within the HRIS / HR Ops organization and requires a candidate with deep HR functional expertise, a strong employee orientation, and the ability to leverage HR technology — particularly Workday — to support and improve HR processes.

This role is responsible for supporting all Human Resources operational and functional processes and programs through global HR system support (analysis, testing, reporting, and business process design improvement).

• Translate HR business needs into system solutions.

• Make recommendations to improve the functionality and effectiveness of all HR systems, by proactively understanding and learning the Workday platform.

• Develop deep familiarity with relevant Workday modules to support HR functional teams.

• Implement and maintain Workday initiatives and support bi-annual Workday release activities.

• Evaluate requests for changes, analyze the impact on the entire system and infrastructure, submit recommendations for approvals, and prioritize and schedule completion of approved requests.

• Run periodic system audits, review and distribute to users for corrections.

HRIS Analysis and Maintenance:

• Analyze Workday modules such as Core HCM, Compensation, Recruiting, Talent & Performance, Time Tracking, Benefits and Payroll and make recommendations for improvements.

• Design, build, and test business processes, notifications, condition rules, calculated fields custom notifications, help text, and other system enablement activities. 

• Execute the implementation of new Workday features, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.

• Identify patterns in system or process issues and recommend solutions.

Data Management:

• Ensure data accuracy and integrity through regular audits and reconciliations

• Execute quality assurance efforts to ensure the accuracy of processes, data, and information within HR systems

Support & Troubleshooting:

• Serve as the primary point of contact for HRIS-related inquiries and technical issues.

• Troubleshoot and resolve system-related issues promptly and effectively

Required Qualifications and Experience 

• Bachelor’s degree preferred

• 3-5 years of HR Operations experience, including hands-on exposure to HRIS platforms such as Workday

• Experience working within Workday to support HR processes

• Ability to define problems effectively, perform system analysis, curate and analyze relevant data, establish facts, and draw valid and concrete conclusions to make and support sound recommendations

• Strong understanding of HR processes and data, including payroll, benefits administration, talent acquisition and performance management

• Ability to manipulate large amounts of data in excel (VLOOKUP’s, Index, etc) to support HR reporting and data audits. 

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.

• Comfort and ability to work effectively in both independent and team-based scenarios

• Ability to prioritize and handle multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment

• Ability to manage and work with confidential information

• Comfort with learning on the fly, via Workday documentation, YouTube Videos, etc

• Strong attention to detail

• Ability to work on highly cross functional, geographically distributed project teams

• Self driven and able to lead others or work autonomously to drive solution decisions, troubleshoot system issues, and perform root cause analysis.
