Purpose of the Role

The HRIS Specialist owns the day-to-day administration, reporting, and data integrity of Workday, ensuring people data is accurate, audit-ready, and useful for decision-making across People & Culture, Finance, and leadership. The role suits a Workday practitioner who is as comfortable configuring business processes and building calculated fields as advising stakeholders on how processes should evolve.

• Deliver recurring and high-stakes reporting, such as headcount, turnover, compensation, and diversity metrics.
• Translate business questions into scalable, self-service reporting and maintain a current report inventory.

Data Integrity & Governance

• Run routine data quality audits and validation checks and resolve root causes rather than symptoms.
• Contribute to data governance standards, data definitions, and confidentiality and access controls.
• Optimize slow reports and complex calculated fields to maintain system performance.

Audit & Compliance Readiness

• Build and maintain audit reports supporting internal controls, including access reviews, change logs, and terminations.
• Partner with internal and external auditors to deliver accurate, consistent, and timely audit responses.
• Document configuration, processes, and controls so the system remains audit-ready at all times.

Process Improvement & System Roadmap

• Assess HR processes end to end and recommend automation, simplification, or new Workday functionality.
• Gather requirements, test, and support deployment of enhancements, module rollouts, and integrations.
• Serve as the Workday subject matter expert and run training and knowledge-transfer sessions to build data literacy and adoption.
