Assistant Ai Automation Jobs in Wisconsin (NOW HIRING)

• Serve as the primary technical owner for Workday — configuration, troubleshooting, security roles, business process framework, and day-to-day support across HCM, Compensation, Benefits, and related modules
• Own access controls, role-based permissions, and audit logging to ensure security and compliance
• Manage Workday releases, including impact analysis, testing, and rollout of new features

• Manage end‑to‑end lifecycle transactions and data flows across the HR tech stack
• Partner with IT and HR Ops to troubleshoot issues and architect scalable system enhancements
• Define and own the AI roadmap within Workday — evaluating and implementing capabilities such as Workday Assistant, Illuminate, Extend, and Orchestrate as they become relevant to our stack
• Identify and systematize automation and AI opportunities with impact beyond a single team, and secure buy‑in from HR and IT leadership to prioritize and resource them
• Stay ahead of Workday's AI and automation roadmap, anticipating what's worth piloting before it becomes an obvious ask
• Bring curiosity to the broader HR tech stack and processes — proactively surface where automation or AI augmentation opportunities across HR tech stack that could benefit the wider HR team, not just Workday itself, and act as the go‑to resource others come to for this thinking
• Own the approach to SOX ITGC controls for People systems, building controls that enable compliance without adding unnecessary friction
• Maintain clear, audit‑ready documentation of system configuration, workflows, and change management processes; set the standard others on the team follow
• Serve as the technical expert that Total Rewards, HRBPs, Talent, HR Ops, and IT leadership come to for complex or ambiguous system decisions
• Translate business needs from senior stakeholders into scalable, well‑documented system solutions, and clearly communicate tradeoffs and recommendations
• Mentor other HR systems practitioners and elevate how the broader team approaches configuration, integration, and automation work

• 12 years of experience in HR systems, with deep, hands‑on Workday expertise spanning both integrations and day‑to‑day configuration/support (not just one or the other)
• Track record of leading complex Workday work independently — full‑cycle implementations, major system transformations, or integration architecture — with minimal oversight and accountability for the outcome
• Strong knowledge of Workday integration design (EIB, REST/SOAP APIs) and experience connecting Workday to third‑party tools
• Working knowledge of Workday's AI capabilities (Workday Assistant, Illuminate, Extend, Orchestrate, AI Gateway APIs) — or demonstrated ability to master new Workday capabilities quickly and turn them into adopted practice
• Experience owning access management, security roles, and data integrations across a modern HR tech stack (tools like Ashby, Pave, Shareworks, Athena, HC 365 a plus)
• Working knowledge of SOX ITGC and compliant system practices in a public or audit‑ready environment
• History of originating and systematizing automation/AI opportunities that scale beyond your own queue of tickets — not just executing requests, but identifying what's worth building before you're asked
• Experience operating with wide latitude and independent judgment on ambiguous, high‑complexity problems, and being sought out by others (including senior/VP‑level leaders) as the trusted authority on system decisions
• Demonstrated ability to build trusted relationships with VP‑level stakeholders and use them to move cross‑functional work forward, plus comfort acting as a mentor or informal technical lead to other practitioners
• Strong communication skills — able to translate technical tradeoffs for non‑technical and senior stakeholders alike.
