Title: Workday HRIS Analyst
Location : New Jersey
Target Start Date : ASAP
Type: Contract to Hire
Pay Rate: $40-55/hr
Our client is looking for a high-impact Workday HRIS Analyst to serve as the primary functional and technical resource during a global Workday implementation. This is a critical role designed for a "hands-on" administrator who will bridge the gap between HR stakeholders and the System Integration (SI) partner.
You will be the internal subject matter expert responsible for the health of the system, ensuring that Workday is configured to meet HR's specific needs while providing long-term technical support and administrative stability.
HR Business Partnership: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for the HR team. Translate HR business requirements into scalable Workday solutions and functional configurations.
System Administration & Configuration: Drive hands-on configuration for HCM Core, including Business Process (BP) design, organization structures, and security role maintenance.
SI Partner Liaison: Work daily with the SI partner to review design documents (Workbooks) and validate that the configuration aligns with internal HR operational standards.
Data Integrity & Conversion: Own the mapping of legacy data into Workday. Perform deep-dive audits and validations to ensure the system is the "single source of truth" for HR data at Go-Live.
Reporting & Analytics: Design and build a comprehensive suite of reports and dashboards that empower HR leadership with real-time workforce insights.
Implementation Support: While supporting the broader project team, focus on the transition from "project mode" to "live administration," ensuring all technical documentation and job aids are ready for day-to-day HR operations.
Workday Expertise: 3–5 years of HRIS experience. Must have a deep functional understanding of Workday administration.
Implementation Background: Proven experience participating in at least one full-lifecycle Workday implementation, specifically in an administrative or technical lead capacity.
Technical Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of Workday Business Processes, Security Groups, and Advanced Reporting.
Consultative Approach: Ability to advise HR stakeholders on best practices within the Workday ecosystem rather than just executing tasks.
Certifications: Workday HCM Core or relevant Pro certifications are a plus.
