Senior Business Systems Analyst (Workday, Reporting & Analytics)

Justworks is a company dedicated to helping businesses manage their HR needs by providing data-driven solutions. The Senior Business Systems Analyst will own and evolve the reporting and analytics capabilities for Workday, partnering with various teams to deliver actionable insights and maintain data quality.

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
• Hands-on experience with Workday People Analytics and/or BI Application such as Looker, Tableau is strongly preferred
• 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
