About the Role

In this high-impact role, you will partner closely with the Head of People Systems to turn complex business requirements into functional Workday realities. As a hands-on technical expert and primary subject matter expert for core modules, you will act as a vital connector between foundational execution and strategic leadership. You will drive the maintenance, optimisation, and system integrity of our newly implemented Workday ecosystem while mentoring junior team members.

Serve as the Tier 2/3 escalation point to resolve complex system errors, business process snags, and data discrepancies.
Conduct root-cause analysis for system defects to implement long-term, sustainable fixes rather than temporary patches.
Oversee system updates executed by the external AMS provider to ensure strict adherence to governance standards.
Partner with HR, Payroll, Finance, and IT stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical specifications.

Requirements

3-5 years of hands-on Workday configuration or implementation experience across core modules.

Prior experience navigating the end-to-end testing lifecycle for major Workday updates and utilising EIBs for data conversion.

Exceptional analytical skills to logically map out step-by-step Workday solutions for broken processes or complex requests.
High level of autonomy with the capability to manage your own workload and make confident configuration decisions.
Strong stakeholder engagement skills to clearly explain complex technical limitations or capabilities to non-technical users.
