As a Senior Workday Analyst, Payroll, you'll be a technical anchor for our Workday ecosystem and a driver of what's next for it. This role goes beyond keeping the lights on: you'll bring new Workday feature knowledge into the team, help automate manual payroll processes, and shape how we use emerging Workday capabilities (including AI-driven and agent-based tools) to modernize our payroll operations.

- Proven experience working with highly confidential information and supporting critical business operations and processes.
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to set clear expectations with senior stakeholders and the confidence to escalate issues when necessary.
- Ability to lead cross-functional projects, navigating ambiguity and high-pressure timelines with a sense of urgency.
