You'll join Collibra's People Solutions team, which is moving beyond basic SaaS administration into a strategic People function where automation drives efficiency for the global workforce.

• Own Workday business process configuration and security group architecture, including periodic access reviews and segregation-of-duties checks.
• Develop Workday reports and calculated fields that provide stakeholders with actionable and reliable data.
• Partner with People and Places, IT, and other teams to troubleshoot complex configuration and data issues.
• Test and deploy new functionality while protecting existing processes.
• Prototype automations for People Operations processes such as talent acquisition and onboarding.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience configuring Workday business processes.
• Workday security architecture experience is a plus but is not required.
• Experience building Workday reports or calculated fields, or a strong aptitude to develop these skills quickly.
• Experience with an iPaaS or automation tool such as Workato is a plus.
• Experience with an applicant tracking system such as Greenhouse or a similar platform is a plus.
• Demonstrated proficiency using AI tools such as Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or Copilot to solve business challenges, drive measurable outcomes, or streamline workflows.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent related work experience.
• Ability to translate technical configuration changes for non-technical business partners.
• Proactive approach to data integrity and sound judgment when handling ambiguous configuration requests.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical teams.
• This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Measures of Success

• Within the first month, become oriented with the Workday, ATS, and Workato environments; shadow existing automations and business process configuration; and complete security and access training.
• Within the third month, ship a first Workato automation or agentic workflow and independently handle configuration and reporting requests for the assigned area.
• Within the sixth month, build at least one automation extending beyond Workday and the ATS into another People Operations process, such as talent acquisition, and take on increased ownership of business process and security scope.
