• Reporting & Data Integrity : Own our reporting suite; from reports and dashboards used by P&C and the business to board-level MI, and data quality audits.
• Team Enablement : Coach our HCM Analyst, peer-review configuration, and help shape best practice and our roadmap.

• Own It : Be the trusted senior expert who leads complex changes and challenges with confidence.

• Better Together : Work alongside the Tech Lead and wider Workday team, and partner with P&C.

What Success Looks Like

In your first few months, you'll have:

• Got up to speed with our Workday configuration and reporting suite.
• Built strong relationships across P&C
• Independently led a complex configuration or reporting change through to release.
• Started knowledge sharing and contributing to the team roadmap.

What You'll Need

• Workday Expertise: 5+ years' hands‑on Workday HCM configuration across multiple modules, owning complex changes and release cycles end to end.
• Functional Depth : Hands‑on experience in UK Payroll, Absence and Time Tracking; depth in one or more is valued.
• Global Rollouts : Experience deploying Workday to new countries and brands, and/or working in a multi‑national or complex Workday tenant (e.g. with many companies and brands)
• Reporting & Data Integrity : Advanced and matrix reports, dashboards and board‑level MI, with a meticulous approach to data accuracy
• Senior Stakeholder Communication : Confidence engaging senior stakeholders, challenging requirements constructively and explaining trade‑offs clearly.
• Team Leadership : Experience coaching junior colleagues while delivering independently.
