HRIS Associate

Perella Weinberg is seeking an HRIS Associate to build and deploy Workday enhancements in direct partnership with stakeholders across the Corporate functions. This is a hands-on builder role: you will design, configure, and ship end-to-end solutions spanning Workday HCM, Recruiting, Absence, Learning, Payroll, Financials, Adaptive Planning, Prism, and custom applications built with Workday Extend Pro and/or other software development tools (Claude Code and Azure cloud services).

Beyond the Workday platform, we are creating AI-enabled workflow automations with Claude across the Corporate functions. This individual will combine Workday tools, Anthropic's Claude models and tools (Claude Skills, MCP servers, Claude Code, Claude Desktop), and custom-built solutions to improve processes, enhance data quality, and create operating leverage for the back office at Perella Weinberg.

The successful candidate is a self-starter who thrives in an ambiguous, dynamic environment and craves the opportunity to build solutions end-to-end with a variety of tools while having significant autonomy.

Responsibilities

• Partner directly with stakeholders in the Corporate functions to scope, design, build, test, and deploy Workday enhancements across HCM, Recruiting, Absence, Payroll, Financials, Adaptive Planning, and Prism

• Build custom applications with Workday Extend Pro to address needs the core platform doesn't solve

• Design and deploy AI-enabled workflow automations using Workday tools, Anthropic's Claude, and custom-built solutions

• Own solutions end-to-end, from requirements gathering through configuration, testing, deployment, documentation, and user enablement

• Improve processes and enhance data quality across HR and Corporate function workflows, including reporting, dashboards, and automated data feeds

• Support system upgrades, releases, and troubleshooting, coordinating with functional teams and vendors as needed

• Handle Tier 1 / Tier 2 HR Tech queries from the business and support broader HR Operations projects as required

The Ideal Candidate Will Possess

• 3–5 years of experience with enterprise systems and organizational data/reporting; strong working knowledge of Workday (HCM, Reporting, Security, Business Processes preferred)

• A builder's mindset — comfortable configuring, prototyping, and shipping solutions rather than only administering them

• Demonstrated ability to work directly with business stakeholders to translate needs into deployed solutions

• Curiosity about AI-enabled automation and a drive to explore new problem-solving pathways

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; advanced Excel and BI/reporting tool experience

• Excellent communication, organizational skills, and attention to detail

• Ability to act with integrity, professionalism, and confidentiality

• Comfort with ambiguity and the initiative to operate autonomously in a fast-paced environment
