• Collaborate closely with integration partners and adjacent systems (e.g., ServiceNow, SuccessFactors, payroll/benefits vendors).

• Support release planning, deployment coordination, and post‑release validation.
• Ensure changes adhere to HR Technology standards, SDLC controls, and audit requirements.

Production Support & Stability

• Provide production support for Workday, including troubleshooting business process failures, data issues, and integration errors.
• Analyze issues, identify root causes, and coordinate resolution with internal teams and vendors.
• Monitor trends in incidents and proactively recommend improvements to reduce operational friction.
• Maintain high‑quality documentation, including requirements, process flows, configuration details, and test artifacts.
• Identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve user experience, and increase automation within Workday.
• Contribute to HR Technology team process improvements, standards, and knowledge sharing.

• Experience working in Agile or product‑oriented delivery models.
• Prior exposure to SOX controls or audit support in HR systems.
• Workday certifications are a plus.

What Success Looks Like:

• HR partners view you as a trusted Workday advisor, not just a system support resource.
• Workday enhancements are well‑designed, thoroughly tested, and delivered with minimal disruption.
• Production issues are handled efficiently, with recurring problems systematically addressed.
• HR Technology solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with long‑term business needs.
• Strong self-management of workload and proactive communication related to capacity
