- Serve as an escalation point for report defects, performance issues, and complex data interpretation questions.
- Evaluate new reporting features with each biannual Workday release.
- Design and maintain custom reports that serve as data sources for outbound integrations, including web service-enabled reports (RaaS).
- Develop integration audit, reconciliation, and error reporting to monitor data flows between Workday and connected systems.
- Partner with the HR Technology team on reporting requirements for integrations built on EIBs, Core Connectors, Studio, and Orchestrate.
- Validate report-based integration outputs during testing cycles and biannual releases.
- Own the project lifecycle for assigned reporting initiatives: intake, requirements, scoping, build, UAT, deployment, and documentation.
- Serve as a liaison between HR COEs and the reporting function, translating ambiguous requests into clearly defined technical requirements.
- Manage competing priorities across concurrent workstreams, proactively communicating status, risks, and trade-offs.
- Prepare clear documentation including report specifications, data dictionaries, test plans, and end-user guides.
- Work closely with the wider HR Data & Analytics team, partnering with colleagues focused on Power BI-based analytics and data infrastructure.
- Collaborate closely with the HR Technology team on configuration changes, integrations, and platform enhancements that affect reporting.
- Mentor report writers and analysts, and contribute to reporting standards, naming conventions, and best practices.
- Maintain deep working knowledge of Workday business processes and the underlying data model.
- Advise on data quality, governance, and audit readiness.
- Identify opportunities to extend analytics beyond native Workday via Prism Analytics or Power BI.
- Help shape the team's adoption of AI capabilities, including Workday's evolving AI and machine learning features and AI-assisted approaches to report development, data analysis, and insight generation.
