The Planet Group
Bedford, MA Contractor
POSTED ON 10/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/31/2026

Principal Workday HCM Analyst

Location: Bedford, MA, Hybrid

Duration: 6 months


What they need

They need a senior, hands-on Workday HCM person. This is not a people-manager role. The candidate should be able to work independently and handle complex Workday issues.

Main skills to look for

  • 8 years of HRIS experience with strong Workday HCM
  • Hands-on Workday configuration and administration
  • Strong Business Process configuration
  • Strong Workday Security
  • EIBs and bulk/high-volume data loads
  • Mass employee transactions such as hires, terminations, job changes, org changes, and compensation updates
  • Advanced and Matrix Reports
  • Calculated Fields and Dashboards
  • Workday foundational configuration such as Supervisory Organizations, Positions, Job Profiles, and Compensation Structures
  • Strong troubleshooting experience
  • Ability to understand business requirements and turn them into Workday solutions
  • Experience working with HR, Payroll, Finance, IT, and Total Rewards


In very simple words:

The manager wants someone who is very hands-on with Workday, not someone who has only managed Workday teams or vendors.


The person should be able to:

Configure Workday, fix complex issues, manage security and business processes, build reports, handle EIB/data loads, process bulk employee changes, and improve/automate Workday processes independently.

Salary : $65 - $78
