  • Support system reliability, data integrity, release management, testing, and operational sustainability.
  • Evaluate digital and AI-enabled solutions by assessing readiness, data integrity, integration capability, and operational viability.
  • Use workforce data and reporting insights to support decision-making, compliance, and continuous improvement.
  • Balance stakeholder needs with Workday capabilities, system constraints, and enterprise standards.

  • Foundational knowledge of integrations, EIBs, data audits, and system impacts.
  • Understanding of Workday release management, testing standards, and implementation best practices.
  • Strong understanding of employee lifecycle processes, including hire, movement, compensation, absence, and separation.
  • Ability to translate HR and business needs into system designs that balance capability, teammate experience, and operational feasibility.
  • Strong consultation skills with the ability to explain system trade-offs, constraints, and implications to HR and business partners.
  • Commitment to workforce data stewardship, confidentiality, privacy, and appropriate use of employee data.
  • Ability to design and refine Workday interactions that improve usability, consistency, adoption, and the overall teammate experience.
