Workday HCM Analyst

Principal Workday HCM Analyst

Location: Bedford, MA, Hybrid

Duration: 6+ months

What they need

They need a senior, hands-on Workday HCM person . This is not a people-manager role . The candidate should be able to work independently and handle complex Workday issues.

Main skills to look for

• 8+ years of HRIS experience with strong Workday HCM
• Hands-on Workday configuration and administration
• Strong Business Process configuration
• Strong Workday Security
• EIBs and bulk/high-volume data loads
• Mass employee transactions such as hires, terminations, job changes, org changes, and compensation updates
• Advanced and Matrix Reports
• Calculated Fields and Dashboards
• Workday foundational configuration such as Supervisory Organizations, Positions, Job Profiles, and Compensation Structures
• Strong troubleshooting experience
• Ability to understand business requirements and turn them into Workday solutions
• Experience working with HR, Payroll, Finance, IT, and Total Rewards

In very simple words:

The manager wants someone who is very hands-on with Workday , not someone who has only managed Workday teams or vendors.

The person should be able to:

Configure Workday, fix complex issues, manage security and business processes, build reports, handle EIB/data loads, process bulk employee changes, and improve/automate Workday processes independently.
