Job description

This role will be a Sr. People Systems Solution Engineer, which includes system configuration, enhancements, and deployment efforts, and the responsibilities below.

  • Ensure the accuracy and integrity of People data across Workday by designing and executing recurring audit programs. Build and maintain EIBs, custom reports, and calculated fields that validate data at the point of entry and on a scheduled cadence.

  • Develop and deploy AI-driven data reconciliation processes that cross-reference Workday records against authoritative sources, auto-classify exceptions by severity, and route them to the appropriate analyst or business owner for resolution.

  • Conduct testing, documentation, and validation of new People system functionalities and configurations to ensure optimal performance, data accuracy, and compliance with organizational requirements

  • Lead end-to-end testing, documentation, and validation of new Workday functionalities, business process configurations, and semi-annual release updates, ensuring performance, data accuracy, and regulatory compliance.

  • Design AI-augmented regression testing frameworks that auto-generate test scenarios from business process definitions, execute validation scripts, and produce pass/fail dashboards; accelerating release readiness and minimizing manual QA effort.

  • Evaluate and pilot emerging Workday AI features (e.g., Workday Illuminate, ML-based recommendations) and assess their fit with organizational requirements, data privacy standards, and change-management readiness.

  • Maintain system process documentation, including business process guides, user manuals, and training materials for internal stakeholders.

  • Partner closely with Employee Experience, Benefits, Compensation, Talent Acquisition, and Talent Development teams to translate strategic priorities into Workday configuration, reporting, and workflow solutions that scale.

  • Continuously analyze the People Systems landscape; Workday modules, adjacent platforms, and integration touchpoints to identify optimization opportunities, reduce technical debt, and recommend enhancements that drive measurable efficiency gains.

  • Lead cross-functional special projects and strategic initiatives as assigned by People leadership; scoping requirements, managing stakeholder communication, and delivering on time.

  • Bring an automation-first mindset to every initiative: identify where agentic workflows, AI co-pilots, or intelligent routing can replace repetitive manual steps and free the People team to focus on high-judgment, human-centric work.

  • Uphold the highest standards of confidentiality and discretion when handling sensitive employee information, HRIS data, and AI-generated insights, ensuring compliance with data-privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and internal security policies.
