Responsibilities:

• Serve as the Workday functional lead for Reporting, People Analytics — owning the design, build, and maintenance of our core reporting layer across all people data domains
• Partner with HR, Finance, and senior leadership to understand reporting needs, translate them into scalable Workday solutions, and deliver outputs that enable genuine self-service
• Build and maintain our suite of core recurring reports — headcount, attrition, time-to-fill, span of control, comp ratios — ensuring they are accurate, maintained, and accessible without analyst intervention
• Design and manage Workday dashboards and scorecards for HR leadership and manager self-service, reducing reliance on ad hoc data requests
• Own our data transformation layer — bringing in external data sources including ATS, engagement survey results, and finance data for blended people reporting
• Establish and maintain a data quality monitoring process — running regular audits to surface missing fields, broken hierarchies, and stale records before they cause downstream problems
• Manage a structured intake process for ad hoc reporting requests, ensuring the business has a clear, consistent way to request and receive data
• Partner with the Integrations Architect at the design stage of every new integration to ensure data lands in the right shape for reporting — field naming, granularity, and refresh frequency
• Manage bi-annual Workday releases, evaluating reporting and analytics feature updates, testing new functionality, and recommending adoption strategies
• Develop and maintain documentation for all reports, dashboards, and data definitions to support change management, onboarding, and audit requirements

Requirements:

• 3-4 years of experience in a Business Systems Analyst, People Analytics, or HRIS reporting role with hands-on Workday reporting configuration experience — including custom reports, BIRT, composite reports, and calculated fields
• Strong understanding of HR data domains — headcount, compensation, talent acquisition, performance, and absence — and how they connect across Workday modules
• Experience working with Workday integrations and understanding how data flows between systems, including how upstream data quality affects downstream reporting
• Excellent attention to detail and a low tolerance for data inaccuracy — you check your own work and build in validation as a habit not an afterthought
• Strong stakeholder management skills — comfortable presenting data to senior leaders and translating business questions into reporting requirements
• Self-starter with a continuous improvement mindset — you proactively identify reporting gaps and build solutions before they're asked for
• Excellent written and communication skills
• Hands-on experience with Workday People Analytics and/or BI Application such as Looker, Tableau is strongly preferred
