Project Duration
We need a versatile Workday expert who is passionate about Talent & Performance but has the HCM-adjacent breadth to support the broader ecosystem whenever needed and a desire to continue developing.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Full-Stack Configuration: Own the end-to-end configuration for Talent & Performance (Reviews, Calibration, Succession, Reporting and the connection between Talent and Advanced Comp processes) while maintaining "day-to-day" ticket workload across Talent and other supported modules.
- Mentorship & Cross-Training: Act as a technical escalation point for junior analysts. You will lead "knowledge transfer" sessions and build documentation to ensure the team is cross-trained and that no single person is a "single point of failure."
- System Evolution: Lead the technical roadmap for Talent features, ensuring we are maximizing our Workday investment through biannual releases and feature adoption.
- Production Support: Troubleshoot complex issues involving Calculated Fields, Business Processes, and Security Groups with a focus on root-cause analysis and permanent solutions.
- Stakeholder Partnership: Partner with business stakeholders to translate "people strategy" into technical reality, managing expectations and delivering results in an agile environment.
Required Qualifications
- Experience: 5+ years in HRIS, with 3+ years of deep Workday configuration experience.
- Module Expertise: 2+ years of deep configuration experience within Workday Talent & Performance. Flexibility and experience in Core HCM, Reporting, Compensation or Adv. Comp is highly preferred.
- Technical "Heavy Lifting": Expert-level skills in Reporting, Calculated Fields, and EIBs. You must be comfortable managing data loads and complex logic independently.
- Testing & Documentation: A disciplined approach to UAT, regression testing, and creating "living" technical documentation that the whole team can use.
- Language: Professional fluency in English (written and verbal).
- Location: Based in or willing to relocate to Mexico City.
What Will Set You Apart
- The "No Task Too Small" Mentality: You take pride in a clean ticket queue and high user satisfaction scores.
- Natural Teacher: You have a track record of coaching more junior peers and helping them level up their configuration skills.
- Solution Architect Mindset: You can look at a messy manual process and visualize the automated Workday solution, then actually build it.
- Bilingual Communication: The ability to explain complex technical "Workday-speak" to non-technical stakeholders
- Curiosity: Naturally curious and solutions-driven, with a history of taking ownership and driving tasks forward with minimal direction
- Note: We are only able to hire candidates who are currently living in Mexico City or Pune, India. Those living outside of Mexico City or Pune must be willing to relocate and work from Mexico City or Pune.
