People Operations & AI Analyst

What You'll Own

Workday Architecture & Configuration

• Own the business process framework inside Workday — how approvals route, how tasks trigger, how workflows sequence across the employee lifecycle
• Configure and maintain security roles so the right people have access to the right data
• Build and maintain custom reports and calculated fields that feed compensation decisions, headcount tracking, and org management
• Design and maintain integrations between Workday and our broader People tech stack — payroll, Pulley, and Ashby — so data flows automatically without manual reconciliation
• Audit and continuously improve system configuration as the org grows and business needs change
• Serve as the internal Workday expert — the person who knows what the system can do and pushes us to actually use it

AI & Automation

• Identify manual, repetitive workflows across the People function and build automations that eliminate them
• Evaluate and implement AI tools relevant to People Operations, compensation, and systems administration
• Partner with the Total Rewards & Infrastructure Lead to build and execute a People AI roadmap
• Stay close to what Workday is releasing natively on AI and automation and bring those capabilities in-house

Compensation Infrastructure Support

• Build and maintain the data infrastructure that powers compensation decisions — salary bands, job architecture, and leveling frameworks
• Support the annual compensation review cycle from a systems and data perspective
• Maintain equity administration in Pulley and ensure clean data across grant history, vesting schedules, and terminated employee records
• Partner with Total Rewards & Infrastructure Lead on compensation modeling and scenario analysis as we scale

What We're Looking For

• 4 to 6 years of experience in an HRIS or People Systems role inside a high growth company
• Deep hands on Workday experience — you have configured business processes, built security roles, designed integrations, and written calculated fields. Using it is not enough
• Genuine excitement about AI and automation in the People space — you have a point of view on where this is going and you want to build it
• Experience with equity administration platforms, Pulley experience a plus
• Enough comfort with compensation data to be a real partner on comp architecture and modeling
• Low ego, high output — you build what doesn't exist without needing a perfect brief
• Startup mindset — you move fast, figure things out, and don't wait to be told
