Senior HRIS Analyst (Workday)

PagerDuty is looking for a Senior HRIS Analyst to join our centralized, dedicated Workday HRIS team. In this role, you'll drive the design, configuration, implementation, and administration of our Workday ecosystem — and increasingly, help us deliver and adopt the AI capabilities now built into the platform. If you're a big-picture thinker, a hands-on collaborator, and technologically proficient, results-oriented HRIS professional, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Strong understanding and hands-on experience implementing and maintaining Workday modules, including Core HCM, Compensation, Onboarding, Benefits, Payroll, and Security — researching and resolving system problems, unexpected results, or process flaws, and recommending solutions to meet business requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to streamline processes, advise on new functionality, and drive user adoption.
• Lead the review, testing, and implementation of Workday feature releases, including evaluating new AI-powered capabilities for fit and readiness before rollout to the business.
• Partner with stakeholders to configure, test, and deliver AI-enabled features and automation within Workday, acting as a key contributor in bringing new AI-powered HR products from pilot to production.
• Use AI tools in your own day-to-day work — for tasks like data analysis, documentation, testing, or reporting — to increase personal and team efficiency and free up time for higher-value work.
• Partner with Security, Legal, and IT on responsible AI governance: data privacy, access controls, and change management for AI-enabled business processes.
• Maintain data integrity across systems by running audits, analyzing data, and correcting discrepancies.
• Engage with the Workday community (Brainstorm, Community forums, release notes) to stay current on system and AI capabilities, and recommend solutions that address evolving business needs.

Basic Qualifications:

• 5+ years of Workday experience.
• Proficient with all Workday modules
• Experience working in a fast-paced, growth-focused company.
• Experience using AI tools to improve personal or team productivity (e.g., automating reporting, documentation, or testing) is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Workday Pro Certification in any module (e.g., HCM, Benefits, Payroll, Advanced Compensation).
• Experience helping deliver AI-powered features or products as part of an HR technology roadmap — configuring, testing, and rolling out new AI capabilities to end users.
• Agile or Scrum certification.
