Ability to understand how business processes, data entities, reporting, integrations, and system relationships interact across the HR technology landscape; comfortable reviewing data models or ERDs, using SQL and XML to support analysis or validation when needed, identifying data dependencies, defining business data requirements, and collaborating with architects, analysts, integration teams, and developers. Workday HCM experience is strongly preferred, including exposure to HCM business processes, configuration, reporting, security, integrations, testing, release readiness, or implementation support; experience with SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, UKG, or another comparable HCM platform will also be considered.
