HRIS Manager

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for your pod's systems and processes—from gathering requirements and designing solutions through testing, delivery, and adoption.
• Serve as the Workday subject matter expert for your domain, advising stakeholders on configuration best practices, optimization opportunities, and governance.
• Assess when Workday is the right tool and when a specialized third-party platform better serves the business. Partner with stakeholders on those decisions and own the requirements that follow.
• Understand integration concepts well enough to make informed build-vs-buy decisions and clearly define requirements for our integrations team.
• Design, build, and maintain custom Workday reports, dashboards, and calculated fields to surface the right data to the right people at the right time.
• Partner cross-functionally with IT, Finance, Business Operations, and global People teams to align on requirements, recommend solutions, and drive delivery.
• Identify and drive AI and automation opportunities within your domain—reducing manual work and increasing the intelligence of your systems.
• Manage testing and quality assurance, including regression testing for system updates, new configurations, and third-party changes.
• Create and maintain system documentation, change management materials, and training resources that drive adoption across the People team and the broader organization.
• Manage projects independently—scoping, communicating, and delivering with sound judgment about when to escalate.

Who You Are

• 7+ years of hands-on HRIS experience with deep Workday knowledge across one or more functional areas. Workday Pro certification is a plus.
• A systems thinker who evaluates the full People tech ecosystem—not just what's possible in Workday, but what's the right solution for the business, whether that's native configuration, a third-party tool, or a smarter process.
• Technically fluent enough to understand integrations, data flows, and downstream impacts—so you can make good decisions and write clear requirements, even when someone else does the building.
• Skilled at translating ambiguous business problems into clear, scalable HRIS solutions. You ask the right questions before writing a single business process step.
• Experienced in end-to-end Workday implementation and enhancement work, including project management, stakeholder communication, and change management.
• Knowledgeable in Workday security model design and configuration, with an understanding of how security decisions affect user experience, compliance, and downstream systems.
• Curious about AI, automation, and emerging HR technology—and proactive about finding opportunities to apply them.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment, adapting when requirements shift, and escalating with good judgment.
