Workday expertise. Real ownership. The opportunity to shape what comes next.

We’re working with a global professional services organisation investing significantly in its People technology and looking for an experienced HRIS Specialist with strong Workday Absence & Time Tracking expertise.

This is a hands-on role with genuine ownership, working across People, IT and the wider business to design, configure and optimise Workday solutions.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Designing, configuring, testing and deploying Workday solutions across Absence & Time Tracking
• Translating business requirements into scalable system solutions
• Leading change requests, enhancements and continuous improvement
• Troubleshooting complex configuration and business process issues
• Working with IT on integrations and downstream impacts
• Supporting Workday releases and identifying opportunities to improve processes
• Using tools including EIBs, PECI, reporting, People Analytics and Worksheets

We’re looking for:

• Strong hands-on Workday experience in a medium/large, complex organisation

• Knowledge of wider Workday functionality including HCM, Recruitment, Talent, Compensation, Security and Reporting
• Experience with EIBs and an understanding of integrations
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

This isn't simply a role maintaining an existing system. There is significant investment underway and real scope to influence how Workday is configured, optimised and used across the business.
