Key Responsibilities:

• Hands-on Configuration: Lead end-to-end hands-on configuration within Workday HCM, including Core HR, Business Processes (BPs), Condition Rules, Calculated Fields, and domain security policy adjustments.

• Issue Resolution & System Support: Act as the Tier 3 technical escalation point for Workday system bugs, process breakages, and configuration errors, driving root-cause analysis and timely resolution.

• Release Management: Evaluate new Workday bi-annual feature releases, assess business impacts, configure target enhancements, and lead regression testing.

• Integration Familiarity: Practical experience supporting and troubleshooting Workday integrations (Core Connector, PECI, API connections) and working with middleware.

• Agile Execution: Comfort working as a self-directed IC in an Agile or continuous-delivery environment—managing individual work backlogs and technical deliverables independently.
