## About the Role

* Workday Experience: 3 5+ years focused on Workday Benefits and ACA Processing.
 * Cycle Experience: Proven track record running at least 2 full Open Enrolment lifecycles in Workday (experience with a first-year / cutover OE is a major differentiator).
 * Technical Skills: Workday Benefits Config, EIB mass loads, Calculated Fields, and Custom Reporting for benefit plan audits and vendor reconciliations.

## Description

This is not a pure developer (Integration/Studio) or standard report writer role. It requires someone who bridges functional configuration and system administration, specifically with experience managing a company's first Open Enrolment (OE) cycle and ACA Processing post-implementation.
Core Competencies & Responsibilities:
Open Enrolment Configuration (Benefits Lead):

 * Configuring and updating benefit plans, eligibility rules, and coverage levels, for the 2027 plan year.
 * Setting up Open Enrolment event types, enrolment periods, and communication materials within Workday.
 * Updating benefit rates, rate tables, and provider premium schedules.
 * Leading end-to-end OE testing (configuring test scenarios, launching test OE events, and validating business processes).

ACA Tracking & 1095-C/1094-C Processing:

 * Configuring Workday ACA eligibility measurement rules, stability periods, and hours tracking.
 * Setting up Offer and Coverage codes (Lines 14 & 16 of Form 1095-C).
 * Auditing, troubleshooting, and generating IRS year-end ACA reporting files.

Support & Administration:

 * Serving in a Benefits Administrator capacity to troubleshoot configuration issues, run audits, and resolve employee enrolment errors during the live OE window.
 * Partnering directly with functional benefits stakeholders to translate plan changes into system requirements.
 * Running EIBs (Enterprise Interface Builders) for mass data loading (e.g., rate updates, enrolment corrections).
