• Produce analyses and insights that help stakeholders understand workforce trends and support business decisions
• Support existing dashboards, recurring reporting, data feeds, and analytics processes while identifying opportunities for simplification and automation

Requirements:

• The resource should have deep experience working with HR and workforce data
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement are critical
• Bring strong technical capability across Workday, Power BI, SQL/data modeling, integrations, and workforce data
• Bring significant experience working with HR and workforce data across HR, Finance, and other enterprise functions, including understanding how workforce information is created, governed, integrated, and used
• Communicate effectively with both senior business stakeholders and technical teams and comfortably translate between functional requirements and technical solutions

• Work independently, manage multiple concurrent priorities, surface risks early, and balance immediate operational needs with longer-term scalability and automation
• Workday Prism and/or Workday Data Cloud experience highly desirable
