  • Work with vendors and internal teams to coordinate upgrades, patches, and issue resolution.

Required Qualifications

  • Experience supporting one or more Workday functional areas such as HCM, Benefits, Recruiting, Absence, Time Tracking, Payroll (or Payroll interfaces), Compensation, Security, Reporting.
  • Hands-on experience with system support processes (incident/problem/change management) and structured troubleshooting.
  • Strong understanding of data flows, integrations, and enterprise application ecosystems.

  • Scripting/automation experience (e.g., Python, PowerShell) and/or experience with monitoring/alerting tools.
