• Build and maintain custom reports (advanced, matrix, composite, and calculated fields) to support operational and analytical reporting needs


• Develop and support API-based integrations with third‑party and downstream systems (benefits carriers, payroll vendors, ATS, background check providers, etc.)


• Monitor integration performance, troubleshoot failures, and implement error handling and alerting mechanisms


• Design and configure complex, multi‑step business processes and approval workflows, including conditional routing, notifications, and custom validations


• Optimize existing workflows for efficiency, compliance, and user experience


• Support semi‑annual Workday releases, including impact assessment, regression testing, and feature adoption planning


• Provide tier 2 production support, troubleshooting configuration and data issues, and managing case escalations with Workday support


• Document business process configurations and integration solutions.

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Human Resources, Business, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience


• 4+ years of hands‑on Workday HCM administration experience


• Proven experience building and supporting integrations using Workday web services, SOAP/REST APIs, EIB, and Core Connectors


• Strong background in custom report development (advanced, matrix, calculated fields)


• Substantial experience configuring business processes and workflows, including condition rules and security


• Demonstrated experience with Workday Studio and Workday Extend (App Builder and Orchestrations)

• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to diagnose issues across configuration, data, and integration layers
