People Systems Lead (Workday)

We’re looking for a People Systems Lead to own both the strategic and technical dimensions of our Workday ecosystem. This is a hybrid builder-and-operator role: you will keep day-to-day operations running smoothly, partner with HR leadership on continuous improvement, and crucially think and act like an engineer when it comes to integrations, automation, and data flows. You will be the person who administers and supports Workday for HR, managers, and employees while simultaneously designing integrations, automating manual processes, and ensuring our people data flows cleanly and securely across Finance, IT/IAM, payroll, and our wider data stack. You are equally comfortable triaging a Workday query and building a Studio integration — and you bring the judgement to know when to configure, when to automate, and when to leave as-is. The primary goal is to deliver a seamless, intuitive user experience through targeted system improvements, proactive reconfiguration, and engineering-grade reliability - while positioning people technology as a genuine enabler of business agility.
