Position Title: Sr. Workday Technology Initiatives Analyst

Employment Type: Contract to hire

Summary
We are seeking a Senior Workday Technology Initiatives Analyst to play a critical role in supporting Workday HCM, Payroll, and HR functions. Unlike a traditional business analyst role, this position requires a highly hands-on, technical leader who can work independently to configure Workday, resolve complex tickets, and partner directly with HR and Payroll stakeholders. This is a senior-level, team-of-one position—ideal for someone confident in both technical execution and business communication, including mentoring end users and presenting to the C-Suite.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary Workday HCM & Payroll support resource for configuration, troubleshooting, and process improvement.
• Act as a team of one: independently own analysis, configuration, testing, and deployment with minimal support.
• Partner directly with HR, Payroll, and Finance to identify system gaps, resolve tickets, and optimize workflows.
• Mentor and train HR/Payroll business users on Workday functionality, serving as the go-to SME.
• Communicate effectively with executives and stakeholders to ensure alignment between business needs and system capabilities.
• Manage system enhancements, business rules, and reporting within Workday.
• Lead vendor discussions, evaluate solutions, and manage escalations as needed.
• Maintain compliance with system governance, security, and release/change management.
• Provide direction and knowledge transfer to less experienced staff when applicable.
• Continue to support broader technology initiatives and business process improvements across the enterprise.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of business/technical analyst experience with minimum 4+ years hands-on Workday HCM and Payroll configuration.
• Proven ability to work independently as the sole Workday analyst/administrator.
• Strong understanding of HR/Payroll processes and how to translate them into Workday functionality.
• Experience managing tickets, troubleshooting configurations, and implementing solutions with little oversight.
• Excellent communication skills—able to train business users and present confidently to senior leadership/C-Suite.
• Knowledge of compliance frameworks (SOX, GDPR) and release/change management best practices.
• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Business, HRIS, or related field preferred.
