Workday expertise. Real ownership. The opportunity to shape what comes next.

We’re working with a global professional services organisation investing significantly in its People technology and looking for an experienced HRIS Specialist with strong Workday Absence & Time Tracking expertise.

• Translating business requirements into scalable system solutions
• Leading change requests, enhancements and continuous improvement

• Working with IT on integrations and downstream impacts
• Supporting Workday releases and identifying opportunities to improve processes
• Using tools including EIBs, PECI, reporting, People Analytics and Worksheets

We’re looking for:
