Responsibilities

  • Define service-quality metrics (ticket volume, resolution time, error rate, employee satisfaction) and prioritize improvements.
  • Run proactive audits across Workday and connected systems to catch errors before payroll, equity, or board reporting.
  • Serve as a functional Workday owner: design, configuration, testing, and post-launch iteration.
  • Use AI and low-code tools to prototype and ship People Ops automations; determine when to build vs. tool.
  • Resolve hardest cases in benefits, leaves, time off, rotations, and sensitive org changes with precision and empathy.
  • Partner with Finance, Legal, IT, Recruiting, and Payroll on process maturation projects.
  • Lead change management for process redesigns and new tools: communication, training, adoption tracking, and feedback loops.
  • Identify gaps in operational cadence and drive fixes.
