## Job Description

## 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
