• Create and execute detailed test scripts across development and production environments.
• Identify opportunities to streamline manual processes through automation and system optimization.

• Develop advanced calculated fields and custom reporting solutions.
• Ensure reporting accuracy through routine audits and validation controls.
• Partner with stakeholders to define dashboard needs and enable self-service analytics capabilities.
• Translate complex data into clear, actionable insights for business leaders.

Establish Security & Data Governance Standards

• Own Workday security configuration, role-based access controls, and periodic security audits.
• Ensure compliance with data privacy and regulatory standards (PII, GDPR, SOX as applicable).
• Maintain strong data governance protocols including routine data audits and quality assurance reviews.
• Serve as an escalation point for system issues while exercising discretion with highly confidential employee information.

Support HR Operations & Employee Experience

• Enable compensation cycles, open enrollment, organizational changes, and global workforce transactions within Workday.
