About the role
You will lead the design, build, and support of Workday integrations and advanced reporting across Core HCM, Time/Absence, Benefits, US Payroll (PECI), and Recruiting/Talent for a high-impact HRIT program. This role partners closely with HR, Payroll, Benefits, TA, InfoSec, and Enterprise Engineering to deliver secure, reliable, and scalable integrations.

Build Recruiting/Talent integrations and reporting assets (RaaS, custom reports, calculated fields) enabling analytics and downstream systems.
Design robust error handling, alerting, and run controls; triage incidents and drive root-cause fixes across tenants and environments.
Implement secure transport and data protection (SFTP/MFT, certificates, encryption, token-based auth) aligned with HR data privacy and compliance.
Optimize Workday reporting: matrix/composite reports, complex calculated fields, report performance tuning, and data quality checks.
Collaborate on SDLC best practices (version control, peer reviews, CI/CD, unit/integration testing) and change management from sandbox to production.
Partner with HRIT product managers and stakeholders to translate requirements into technical designs and deliverables; provide clear documentation and handoffs to operations.
