Job summary

Baseten is hiring its first dedicated Workday Analyst to bring the Workday environment in-house from go-live onward. You will own the tenant, configure business processes, security, and reports, and learn alongside our deployment partner.

You will build processes, manage data loads via EIB, and oversee twice-yearly releases while mentoring the People team to scale Workday capabilities as Baseten grows, with a focus on speed and reliability.

Qualifications

• 4+ years administering a live Workday tenant in-house (customer side, not consulting).
• Deep Workday HCM core: business process 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.
• Excitement about a pace that's faster than anywhere you've worked before.

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.
