Required qualifications include 5+ years of hands-on Workday HCM with direct ownership of business process configuration (routing, conditions, validations), production Workday Payroll experience with parallel testing and pay calculation validation expertise, proven reporting depth across advanced/matrix/composite reports and calculated fields, and hands-on configuration of Core HCM, position management, compensation, absence, and benefits. Strong stakeholder partnering skills, ability to run requirements sessions, and working knowledge of Workday security concepts and bi-annual release cycles are essential.
