Job description

The People Operations and Technology team at Chainalysis is focused on building a seamless, scalable, and data‑driven employee experience. We sit at the intersection of People Operations, Technology, and Analytics, enabling the business through thoughtful system design, automation, and insights.

Our mission is simple: make it easy for employees, managers, and leaders to get what they need, when they need it, through intuitive systems and reliable data. We’re increasingly leveraging AI and intelligent automation to eliminate manual work, accelerate decision‑making, and reimagine how the People team delivers value at scale.

We partner closely with teams across People, Talent Acquisition, Finance, and BizTech to ensure our people technology ecosystem, anchored by Workday, is efficient, integrated, and continuously evolving.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior People Systems & Integrations Analyst to own and evolve our people technology ecosystem with a strong focus on Workday configuration, integrations, and cross‑system workflows. This is a dual‑focused role (approximately 60% functional, 40% technical) where you’ll operate across both system configuration and integration design, helping ensure our tools work seamlessly together while delivering a high‑quality user experience.

As our team expands its use of AI‑driven tools and workflow automation, you’ll be expected to evaluate emerging capabilities, identify use cases for AI within our people technology ecosystem, and help us move from manual processes to intelligent, automated solutions. This is a high‑visibility role with room to grow – you’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of People Technology at Chainalysis and build expertise at the intersection of HR systems, automation, and AI.

You’ll play a critical role in:

• Evolving our integration architecture across the People Technology ecosystem
• Advancing our automation and AI strategy within People Operations
• Bridging the gap between business stakeholders and technical delivery

If you enjoy connecting systems, solving messy process problems, and owning outcomes end‑to‑end, this role is for you.

In this role, you’ll:

• Own end‑to‑end delivery of enhancements across Workday and the broader People Tech stack, ensuring scalable and high‑quality solutions
• Configure and maintain Workday HCM (business processes, security, notifications, and reporting) across key employee lifecycle processes
• Partner with stakeholders across People, Talent Acquisition, Finance, and BizTech to translate business needs into effective system solutions
• Identify and implement opportunities to improve automation – including AI‑assisted workflows – to enhance data integrity, reduce manual effort, and elevate the user experience across People systems
• Ensure seamless interoperability across People systems (e.g., Workday, Adaptive, Ashby, payroll providers), optimizing end‑to‑end workflows
• Design, build, and maintain integrations between Workday and external systems, exploring AI and automation tools (e.g., Workato, AI‑powered bots) to streamline data flows
• Monitor integration health, troubleshoot issues, and perform root cause analysis to ensure reliability
• Support workforce planning and headcount data flows, particularly between Workday and Adaptive
• Support testing efforts for new functionality and product releases, ensuring smooth and controlled deployments
• Maintain clear documentation and establish best practices for system governance, change management, and ongoing support
• Stay current on AI and automation trends in the HR Technology space, proactively recommending tools and approaches that can improve team efficiency and employee experience

We’re looking for candidates who have:

• 4–6 years of experience working with Workday HCM in a techno‑functional capacity
• Strong hands‑on experience with Workday configuration (business processes, security, reporting, notifications)
• Proven experience building or supporting Workday integrations (EIB, RaaS, Core Connectors, Studio)
• Experience working cross‑functionally – bridging functional stakeholders (People, Finance, Payroll, BizTech) and technical implementation teams
• Understanding of APIs, data flows, and integration patterns
• Experience troubleshooting integration failures and performing root cause analysis
• Familiarity with automation/iPaaS platforms (e.g., Workato) and comfort working with AI‑powered tools, with a willingness to experiment as the technology evolves
• Strong ability to translate technical concepts into clear, non‑technical language
• Comfortable owning projects end‑to‑end in a fast‑paced environment

Nice to have experience:

• Experience with Workday Adaptive Planning and workforce planning integrations
• Familiarity with Ashby or other ATS platforms
• Exposure to learning platforms such as LinkedIn Learning
• Experience supporting global payroll and EOR integrations (e.g., ADP, Activpayroll, Deel)
• Experience evaluating or implementing AI/ML tools within People Technology or People Operations (e.g., chatbots, intelligent document processing, predictive analytics)

Technologies we use:

• Workday HCM & Workday Studio
• Workday Adaptive Planning
• Ashby
• ADP
• Activpayroll
• Deel
• Okta
• NetSuite
• Coupa
• Jira
• Slack
• Google Workspace
• Workato
• AI & Automation tools (emerging)

AI at Chainalysis

AI is not a feature at Chainalysis – it is a new way of working. One that turns instructions into work done, and helps us move faster than the threats we’re built to counter, and we expect our employees to take ownership of the output and ensure quality. As the world’s most trusted blockchain analytics platform, Chainalysis sits at a rare intersection of proprietary data, regulatory relationships and crypto expertise that makes it uniquely placed to shape and lead the next era of AI‑driven intelligence – and we expect everyone here, regardless of role, to be an active part of it.

AI fluency is tied directly to how we measure performance and how we plan to win. There is no substitute for your own curiosity. We provide the tools, workflows, and space to experiment – but the expectation is that you develop these capabilities yourself, bring ideas, and collaborate across teams to reinvent the way work gets done. We are not using AI to do less. We are using it to do what was never possible before.

We encourage applicants across any race, ethnicity, gender/gender expression, age, spirituality, ability, experience and more. If you need any accommodations to make our interview process more accessible to you due to a disability, don’t hesitate to let us know. You can learn more. We can’t wait to meet you.
