- Manage requests and system incidents end to end, escalating where needed and keeping stakeholders informed.

Who we’re looking for:
- Broad knowledge of the HR Tech landscape.
- At least 2 years hands-on experience configuring Workday HCM (in-house or consulting) across multiple functional areas.
- Proven experience configuring business processes, security, reporting and data loads; exposure to integrations is an advantage.
- Understanding of people processes and how they translate into practical system design.
- Ability to troubleshoot issues, manage requests, ticketing triage and resolution.
- Strong stakeholder engagement, communication and prioritisation skills, with the ability to balance BAU support and project delivery.
- A proactive, curious and detail-oriented approach, with a continuous improvement mindset and a strong focus on user experience.
- Experience with (or displayed interest in) automations, AI best practice & agents is advantageous.
The physical, mental, emotional and financial health of our people is something we’ll never stop caring about. This is a place to learn and grow. Some of our Perks & Benefits include:
- A hybrid and flexible approach to working.
- Flexible leave options including, birthday leave and purchase additional leave.
