Senior Manager, HR Technology

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Oversee and cultivate the HR Technology / HRIS team by establishing clear priorities and operational rhythms, ensuring the team is dedicated to platform health, quality, and ongoing improvement.

• Direct Workday configuration and security design, which includes role design, access management, SOX-relevant controls, and delegation of authority, while maintaining a disciplined release and change-management process. Collaborate with Corporate Technology's Enterprise Architecture and Security teams to align Workday with enterprise standards and shape the future long-term technical architecture.

• Take ownership of the integration architecture between Workday and associated HR systems (payroll/time, recruiting, learning, engagement, IdP, benefits). Make decisions regarding build vs. buy on integration patterns, lead the team in developing and maintaining inbound/outbound integrations using Workday EIB, Core Connectors, Studio, and RaaS / Web Services, and establish standards for authentication (SSO/SFTP/certs), error handling, reconciliation, and monitoring.

• Oversee daily vendor relationships for HR systems (escalations, releases, basic SLAs) in collaboration with IT and, when necessary, Procurement.

• Create and uphold a straightforward, outcome-driven HR technology roadmap that minimizes manual work, enhances data quality, and improves employee/manager self-service.

• Propel change management and user adoption for Workday and other HR tools, which includes concise communications and training sessions for HR, managers, and employees.

• Establish HR data governance, covering systems of record, data lineage to downstream consumers (Payroll, Finance, analytics), field-level data quality checks, segregation of duties enforced through Workday security groups, and audit-ready evidence for SOX ITGCs (access provisioning, change management, BP approvals). Collaborate with Payroll/Benefits/Comp to ensure payroll accuracy and compliance.

• Leverage data from tickets and usage trends to pinpoint configuration fixes, automation possibilities, and content deficiencies; prioritize changes that will yield the most significant impact.

• Manage daily operational aspects, including closing tickets and addressing minor tasks, with a hands-on, detail-oriented approach to guarantee seamless execution and follow-through.

⛳️ Requirements

• A minimum of 8 years of experience in HR Technology / HRIS / People Systems, with practical Workday configuration experience in a scaling, global organization.

• At least 3 years of experience leading a small HR Technology / HRIS team, demonstrating a shift from reactive support to platform-focused work (governance, optimization, automation).

• A strong sense of curiosity and a hands-on methodology, balancing meticulous attention to detail with strategic leadership; no task is too minor to undertake.

• Extensive knowledge of Workday HCM and Advanced Compensation, with experience in Time & Absence, Benefits, and Talent.

• Familiarity with a wider HR technology stack (ATS, payroll/time, learning, engagement) and experience in administering HR configurations while coordinating with IT on integrations.

• A strong collaborator capable of bridging the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders, articulating trade-offs in clear terms, and influencing stakeholders across HR, Finance, and IT.

• Driven by the desire to create tools and processes that minimize manual work, clarify ownership, and provide consistent, high-quality experiences for employees and managers.

• Experience with contemporary HR technology capabilities (automation, AI-assisted self-service, enhanced analytics) and focused on utilizing them safely and effectively to address real challenges.
