Job description

Do you want to play a key role in shaping and scaling Workday in one of Europe's fastest‑growing fitness companies? Are you a hands‑on Workday expert who thrives at the intersection of HR, IT, and data — and ready to take real ownership in a complex, international environment? Then we’re looking for you.

At Basic‑Fit, technology drives how we grow. With 4.7 million members and 1,650+ clubs across 6 countries, we’re strengthening our HR technology landscape to keep up with our ambitions. As our Senior Workday Specialist, you will be the technical authority on our Workday platform — and the go‑to sparring partner for HR, IT, Payroll, and Finance.

This Is What Your Role Looks Like

This role goes beyond functional support. You own the technical configuration and evolution of our Workday platform, translating complex business requirements into robust, scalable solutions across Core HCM, Time Tracking, Absence, Scheduling, Reporting, Expenses, and Integrations.

Your Responsibilities Will Be

• Workday configuration & architecture: Own and configure Core HCM, including supervisory organizations, job structures, business processes, condition rules, validations, and eligibility logic
• Time & Absence: Lead configuration and optimisation of Time Tracking / Attendance, Absence and Scheduling — including accruals, calendars, rules, time entry, approvals, and audits
• Integrations & technical ownership: Take end‑to‑end ownership of Workday integrations (EIBs, Core Connectors, APIs, and where applicable Workday Studio), including requirements, design, testing, monitoring, and issue resolution
• Reporting, data & security: Design and maintain advanced reports and dashboards; manage data quality and root‑cause analysis; configure and maintain Workday security in line with compliance and least‑privilege principles
• Release management: Lead Workday release cycles — assess impact, coordinate testing, document changes, and communicate clearly with stakeholders
• Continuous improvement: Proactively identify opportunities to streamline processes, reduce manual work, and improve the user experience for HR and employees alike
• Stakeholder collaboration: Act as a senior sparring partner for HR, IT, Payroll, Finance, and external partners — challenging requirements constructively and translating them into best‑practice solutions

Who Are You?

You’re a technically sharp, analytically strong Workday professional who knows how configuration, integrations, security, and data come together in a complex international setup. You communicate just as easily with an HR Business Partner as with a developer, and you take ownership without needing to be asked twice.

Must-haves

• 7+ years of hands‑on Workday experience in a senior HRIS, Workday Consultant, or Techno‑Functional role (in‑house and/or consultancy)
• Strong, proven expertise in Core HCM, Time Tracking / Attendance, Absence, Scheduling, Reporting & analytics, and Integrations (functional + technical)
• Solid understanding of the Workday Business Process Framework and Security model
• Experience in an international, multi‑country environment
• Excellent communication skills with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Fluent in English (Dutch, French, Spanish, or German is a plus)

What We Offer You

As a Senior Workday Specialist, you will have real ownership and impact in a fast‑scaling European organisation.

What You Can Expect From Us

• Learning & Development: Unlimited access to GoodHabitz and LinkedIn Learning
• Career Growth: Plenty of opportunities for professional and personal development
• Work Culture: An informal, international, and down‑to‑earth environment. We value working together, so we work 4 days in the office, 1 day from home
• Innovation: Your expertise contributes directly to strategic HR technology decisions
• Salary: A monthly gross salary between €4,648 and €6,500 based on 40 hours, depending on your experience and background
• Fitness: Free access to our gym at HQ
