Job summary

Baseten is hiring a Workday Analyst to join the People team and own the tenant from go-live onward. You will configure processes, security, and reports, while building data loads and managing biannual release cycles. This hands-on role requires teaching others as we scale the Workday environment.

You will partner with Accounting for payroll configurations and work with IT to ensure integrations run smoothly. Strong documentation and proactive problem-solving are essential.

Qualifications

• 4+ years administering a live Workday tenant in-house.
• Deep Workday HCM core: configuration, security administration, and Report Writer.
• Fluent with EIBs and comfortable owning data loads end to end.
• Have shipped multiple Workday releases and know how to test them.
• A builder's temperament: you do the configuration yourself and like it that way.
• Clear written communication for documentation and change notes.

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day Workday configuration: business processes, security groups and roles, custom reports, calculated fields, and tenant settings.
• Build and run EIB loads for data changes, mass updates, and audits.
• Own the twice-yearly Workday release cycle: evaluate new features, regression-test, and roll out changes safely.
• Shadow the implementation build, then take over tenant ownership at go-live.
• Monitor integrations and triage issues with our IT team and vendors.
• Support payroll configuration in partnership with our Accounting team and payroll services provider.
• Field and resolve system requests from employees, managers, and the People team.
• Mentor teammates so Workday administration becomes a team capability, not a single point of failure.
