Job description

We're partnering with a highly successful international business to appoint a Workday Solutions Analyst into a growing HR Systems & Reward function.

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on Workday professional who enjoys challenging existing processes, improving system capability and driving meaningful change. The organisation has invested heavily in Workday and is now looking for someone who can help maximise its potential through enhanced configuration, optimisation and stakeholder partnership.

This is not a BAU administration role - you'll be responsible for identifying opportunities for improvement, reviewing existing processes and delivering solutions that create a more efficient, scalable and data-driven HR environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a subject matter expert across the Workday platform.
• Review and optimise existing Workday configuration, workflows and business processes.
• Partner with HR, Reward and business stakeholders to understand requirements and design solutions.
• Deliver system enhancements from initial design through to deployment.
• Build and maintain reports, dashboards and analytics to support decision-making.
• Support compensation and reward-related processes within Workday.
• Drive automation and process improvement initiatives.
• Contribute to future HR technology projects and ongoing digital transformation activities.

We are keen to speak with candidates who have:

• Strong hands-on Workday experience across multiple modules.
• Experience configuring and enhancing Workday rather than purely administering the platform.
• Knowledge of Compensation / Advanced Compensation and Reward processes.
• Strong reporting and analytical capability.
• Experience improving existing systems, workflows and business processes.
• Confidence working with stakeholders and constructively challenging current ways of working.
• A proactive, curious and solution-oriented mindset.
