Job Description

Job Description

Our client is seeking an experienced Systems Analyst - Workday for a long-term contract opportunity. This role serves as a technical system administrator and configuration expert within the Workday HCM domain. The analyst will step directly into a critical backfill position supporting ongoing FDM retrofit and deployment transition projects, ensuring system integrity, smooth data migrations, and alignment with enterprise HRIS strategy. The ideal candidate is a hands-on Workday professional who thrives in large, complex environments and can function as a consultant and problem-solver, not just an executor.

Key Responsibilities:

Serve as the primary Workday HCM system administrator, performing configuration, testing, and maintenance across multiple modules.

Lead or support large-scale transitions, data loads, and FDM retrofit efforts, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and minimal disruption.

Collaborate with HR, Finance, IT, and HRIS leadership to coordinate changes and deployments across a 9-member HRIS team and wider HR organization.

Act as a consultative partner, proactively identifying configuration and process optimization opportunities rather than waiting for assigned tasks.

Deliver and maintain technology solutions to support business processes and data reporting needs.

Contribute to development of data standards, documentation, and configuration governance.

Liaise with vendors and internal IT teams to support ongoing system initiatives and performance improvement.

Support and train users as needed to ensure smooth adoption and understanding of system changes.

Mentor and coach peers to promote shared technical knowledge and team growth.

Required Qualifications and Experience:

Minimum of 5+ years of direct Workday HCM experience, including hands-on configuration and system administration.

Proven success supporting large enterprise environments, ideally within healthcare or unionized organizations.

Strong background in data migration, EIB loads, and deployment transitions.

Experience across additional Workday modules is a plus (e.g., Compensation, Security, Reporting).

Familiarity with Smartsheet and Jira preferred but trainable.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to work cross-functionally and translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

Strong analytical and pragmatic problem-solving mindset; able to work autonomously and consultatively.

Workday certification is a plus but not required.
