Maintain a working knowledge of the tiered support model and RACI to ensure issues are routed, owned, and closed efficiently.

Build, schedule, and run audit reports and queries to validate data quality; document findings and track remediation actions to closure.
Partner with HR functional teams to research and resolve data discrepancies, ensuring corrections are completed in compliance with data governance standards.
Support pre- and post-cyclical audit activities (e.g., open enrollment, merit, year-end payroll) to confirm data accuracy before critical HR processes execute.
Execute Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) data loads for approved HR data transactions — including mass updates to worker records, compensation, job profiles, organizational assignments, and benefits data.
Validate and reconcile pre-load data files against source data and business rules; document validation steps and obtain required approvals before executing any load.
Perform post-load audits to confirm data accuracy and completeness; investigate and resolve load errors or exceptions promptly.
Maintain an EIB load log — tracking all executed loads, file versions, approvals, load results, and any post-load corrections — as part of the operational governance record.
Partner with HR Operations, Payroll, and Total Rewards teams to coordinate timing of data loads within payroll and processing calendars.
Maintain and enforce system governance standards for Workday configuration, business process design, security role assignments, and data entry — ensuring changes follow the approved change control process.
Monitor and maintain Workday security role assignments; flag and escalate unauthorized or anomalous access patterns to the Lead HRIS Analyst.
Support internal and external audit requests by producing documentation, access reports, and configuration evidence in a timely and organized manner.
Ensure all system changes, configurations, and data operations are documented in accordance with HRIS CoE governance standards and organizational data privacy policies.

Build, generate, and distribute standard and ad hoc Workday reports to support HR Operations, Payroll, Compliance, and leadership needs.
Maintain a library of operational reports with clear naming conventions, owner documentation, and refresh schedules.

Assist with configuration changes to Workday business processes, condition rules, notifications, and foundational data as directed by the Lead HRIS Analyst or HRIS Manager.
Participate in testing cycles for Workday updates, new configurations, and R1/R2 release changes — executing test scripts, logging defects, and confirming resolutions before production deployment.
Maintain and update operational documentation including process guides, configuration notes, and support playbooks.
