Job description

Joining Collibra's People Solutions team

You’ll report to the Senior Manager, People Solutions and own meaningful pieces of our Workday ecosystem with real room to grow into broader scope over time this role is built as a growth path, not a fully-loaded seat from day one.

Senior People Technology Analysts at Collibra are responsible for

• Building automations and agentic workflow prototypes, using tools like Workato and Claude, that connect Workday, an applicant tracking system, and other People Technology systems
• Owning Workday business process configuration and security group architecture, including periodic access reviews and segregation-of-duties checks
• Developing Workday reports and calculated fields that give stakeholders data they can act on and trust
• Partnering with People and Places, IT, and other teams to troubleshoot complex configuration and data issues, and testing and deploying new functionality without breaking what's already in place
• Extending that builder mindset beyond core HRIS admin prototyping automations for People Operations processes like talent acquisition or onboarding wherever manual work is slowing the team down

You have

• Hands-on experience configuring Workday business processes (security architecture experience is a plus, not required we're open to candidates ready to grow into it)
• Experience building Workday reports or calculated fields, or strong aptitude to grow into this quickly
• Experience with an iPaaS/automation tool such as Workato is a plus
• Experience with an applicant tracking system (Greenhouse or similar) is a plus
• Demonstrated proficiency in leveraging AI tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot) to solve real-world business challenges, drive measurable outcomes, or streamline workflows
• A bachelor's degree or equivalent related working experience is required
• This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship

You are

• Comfortable translating technical configuration changes for non-technical business partners
• Proactive about data integrity, with good judgment on ambiguous configuration requests
• Excited to build with tools like Claude and Workato, and to look for automation opportunities beyond your immediate team
• Genuinely energized by growth eager to turn a strong Workday foundation into broader ownership over time
• A clear, collaborative communicator across technical and non-technical teams

Measures of success

• Within your first month, you will get oriented in our Workday, ATS, and Workato environment, shadow existing automations and business process configuration, and complete security and access training
• Within your third month, you will have shipped your first Workato automation or agentic workflow, and be independently handling configuration and reporting requests for your area
