- Support and collaborate with the finance team and the Workday Integration Specialists in the development of new solutions.
Who you are
- 3-5 years of professional experience in a Workday functional role and reporting expertise.
- You communicate clearly and are able to present information to a non-technical audience.
- You understand architecture principles, data models, functional interactions, privacy regulations, and security, and you recognize the impact of changes, including to downstream systems.
- You have a passion for supporting people and optimizing our system processes.
- You are hands-on and pragmatic, using technologies to bring automation ideas to life.
- You are innovative, have strong problem-solving capabilities, and have the initiative to inspire change with others while keeping in mind downstream dependencies.
