This role reports to the Senior Manager of People Systems. What sets this role apart: we're not looking for someone who defaults to the traditional approach. We want someone who thinks about AI and automation first, and reaches for conventional configuration second.</div> <h1><strong>What you'll do</strong></h1> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Own Workday HCM end-to-end: business processes, domain security, integrations, reporting. You'll lead release planning, stay ahead of new features, and drive adoption across the business.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Default to automation. Before configuring a traditional solution, ask whether AI or automation can do it better. That mindset should be baked into how you work, not an afterthought.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Drive implementation of new Workday capabilities. You'll bring options and tradeoffs to the table, not just execute what's handed to you.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Partner with People, Finance, Legal, and IT to translate business requirements into scoped, implementable solutions and see them through to delivery.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Support bi-annual compensation planning, Workday Absence, and Workday Benefits configuration and administration on an ongoing basis.</li> </ul> <h1><strong>Who you are</strong></h1> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"> <div class="mb1">5+ years of hands-on Workday HCM configuration. You've built business processes, configured security, written reports, and shipped production solutions. You're not just a support resource.</div> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"> <div class="mb1">System-agnostic by nature. You evaluate the right tool for the problem, not the tool you know best.</div> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"> <div class="mb1">Solid grasp of core HR processes: onboarding, compensation, performance, terminations, international employment, position management.</div> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"> <div class="mb1">Strong project management instincts. You can run a technical initiative end-to-end, not just execute individual tasks.</div> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"> <div class="mb1">Comfortable with ambiguity. You can take a half-formed request, ask the right questions, and come back with a plan.</div> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"> <div class="mb1">Strong communicator. You can explain a technical tradeoff to an HRBP and an architectural decision to an engineer without losing either of them.</div> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"> <div class="mb1">Bonus: familiarity with Deel, Greenhouse, Workato, or Databricks.</div> </li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Airtable is an equal opportunity employer.
