Your mission
- You will master and evolve our Talent System ecosystem: As a go-to expert for Workday (including HCM, Talent & Performance, Help, US Payroll and Benefits), you will not only maintain our current setup but also proactively design and implement new solutions with the focus on enhancing experience for our global team members.

- You will be a champion for automation and AI: You seek new ways to improve processes (e.g., automation, AI & Agentic workflows) within and (importantly also) beyond Workday (e.g. Juro) while recognizing when existing system "wheels" don't need to be reinvented.

You will own the optimization of processes, workflows, and integrations to build a world-class, automated systems landscape while managing expectations of senior stakeholders.
- A proven track record of 2-3 years working hands-on with Workday (HCM, Talent & Performance; demonstrated experience in Workday US Payroll and Benefits is a significant plus).
- The ability to thrive in a global environment, which includes working flexibly across timezones to collaborate with our North American teams (specifically PST).
- An entrepreneurial and collaborative spirit. You have a can-do attitude and are always ready to go beyond your scope to help the team win.
- A digital-first and deeply curious mindset. You're a quick learner who understands how technology and AI can fundamentally improve the way we work.
