We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.

We're looking for a hands-on Senior HRIS Analyst to support the configuration, administration, and continuous improvement of our Workday platform and broader People tech stack.

• Partner with stakeholders to gather requirements and configure Workday solutions that meet business needs

• Configure and maintain Workday business processes, workflows, security, and reporting

• Troubleshoot system issues, identify root causes, and implement fixes and enhancements

• Support HR system upgrades, patches, and new feature releases, including impact assessment and regression testing

• Build and execute test plans, test cases, and scripts for system changes, partnering with stakeholders on UAT

• Support HR systems projects - module rollouts, integrations, and business process updates - as a key contributor

• Create user guides and training materials, and help train business partners on system changes

• Help uphold system governance, data integrity, and compliance with HR regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, SOX), including supporting audits and data privacy initiatives

We're looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience across the HR tech stack, including configuring Workday, day-to-day operations, troubleshooting, system enhancements, and integrations

• Solid stakeholder management and communication skills and ability to influence across all levels

• Strong project management skills with the ability to prioritize and execute in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of HR compliance and regulations

• Experience with Ashby, Google Apps, Slack, Internal Applications, JIRA, OKTA
