Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Workato as an employer.

What you need

  • 6+ years of hands-on Workday functional, business-systems, or HRIS experience in a complex production environment
  • Deep, practical experience supporting US Payroll in Workday
  • Strong experience administering Workday Benefits, including eligibility, enrollment, life events, deductions, and related operational processes
  • Demonstrated Workday security expertise, including security groups, domain permissions, business-process security, and access troubleshooting
  • Experience configuring and supporting Workday business processes, approval routing, condition rules, notifications, reports, calculated fields, and integrations
  • Working knowledge of I-9/E-Verify operations and related Workday processes

Nice to have

  • Workday Time Tracking implementation experience, including schedules, time calculations, approvals, overtime or premium-pay considerations, absence integration, and downstream payroll flow
  • Experience evaluating complex timekeeping requirements across shifts, holidays, leave, overtime, and local payroll considerations
  • Experience with EIBs, RaaS, calculated fields, APIs, and Workday integration troubleshooting
  • Experience leading an end-to-end Workday implementation or major functional rollout
  • Familiarity with ADP timekeeping or payroll-adjacent integrations

Worth weighing

  • This is a contract position for 6 months, which may limit long-term career growth opportunities.
  • The role requires substantial technical autonomy, which may not suit candidates who prefer more collaborative environments.
  • The position does not involve building new Workato automations, which may be a consideration for candidates looking to work with that technology.
