• Strong Workday integration experience, including designing, building, and supporting integrations using Studio, EIB, Core Connectors, and APIs
• Experience working across multiple Workday modules including HCM, Benefits, Payroll, Recruiting, and Security, with the ability to understand end-to-end HR processes and how data, configurations, and integrations impact the broader system
• Ability to act as a true SME and mentor, helping guide team members and influence direction.

Nice to have:
• Experience with Workday Wellness implementations in previous roles as an engineer

Responsibilities:
• Lead Workday configuration efforts, with a heavy focus on Absence/Leave and Benefits/Wellness modules
• Act as a Workday SME, guiding internal teams and helping upskill junior resources
