The person in this role will partner closely with People Operations, HRIS, Payroll, Benefits, IT, Security, vendors, and business stakeholders to ensure accurate, secure, and scalable data flow between Workday and downstream systems.

This position requires a hands-on integration builder who can also operate as a solution architect, translating business requirements into integration design, technical specifications, testing plans, error-handling processes, production support routines, and long-term integration strategy. The ideal candidate has deep Workday integration expertise and can support both implementation work and steady-state operations.

• Develop or support Prism Analytics datasets, data pipelines, transformations, and dashboards that combine Workday data with external data sources for workforce, payroll, benefits, finance, and operational reporting.
• Use Workday Extend and Prism as strategic enablers for downstream system integration, analytics, process visibility, and operational scalability.

Production Support and Continuous Improvement

• Monitor scheduled integrations, troubleshoot failures, perform root cause analysis, resolve mapping defects, coordinate vendor fixes, and reduce downstream operational risk.
• Own integration regression testing for Workday releases, configuration changes, tenant refreshes, implementation releases, payroll cycles, and vendor updates.
• Create support documentation, technical specs, runbooks, knowledge transfer materials, and controls documentation for audit and operational sustainability.

Requirements

• 8+ years of Workday experience, with deep hands-on delivery experience in Workday integrations.
• Proven ownership of Workday Studio custom integrations and integration lifecycle delivery from requirements through production support.

• Experience troubleshooting complex production integration failures, mapping issues, file/API connectivity problems, and vendor handoff defects.
• Demonstrated ability to document integration designs, technical specifications, test scripts, runbooks, controls, and knowledge-transfer materials.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on Workday Extend application design, configuration, development, support, or platform ownership.
• Hands-on Workday Prism Analytics experience, including data blending, transformations, dashboards, datasets, and operational analytics.

• Experience with HCM, Payroll, Benefits, Compensation, Finance, Recruiting, Time Tracking, Absence, Security, and Reporting integrations.
• Experience with external ERP/finance platforms, banking integrations, tax engines, benefits carriers, payroll vendors, data warehouses, and reporting tools.
• Workday certifications in Integrations, Custom Integrations, Studio, Extend, Prism, or related Workday technical areas.
• Experience working in high-control environments with SOX, audit, data privacy, and change-management expectations.
