Senior Manager, HR Technology

Power Integrations•San Jose, CA

About The Position

We are seeking a hands‑on, technically exceptional HR Technology leader to own and evolve our entire HR technology ecosystem. This role is responsible for Workday end‑to‑end configuration across Core HCM, Advanced Compensation, ESS, MSS, business processes, security, reporting, and integrations — and for modernizing our broader HR tech stack with best‑in‑class, fiscally responsible solutions. You will operate with a very lean team, which means success depends on your ability to leverage technology, automation, AI, and smart design to scale HR operations without adding headcount. This is a role for a builder, problem‑solver, and innovator — not someone who delegates configuration to consultants. You will be the strategic and technical owner of our HR technology landscape, driving innovation, operational efficiency, and world‑class employee experience.

Proven ownership of Advanced Compensation (merit, bonus, equity, promotions) configuration and cycle execution.
Demonstrated experience implementing AI‑driven HR solutions (automation, workflow intelligence, content generation, predictive insights, etc.).
Experience owning or modernizing an HR tech stack, including vendor evaluation and cost‑benefit analysis.
Strong understanding of HR processes, data structures, and compliance requirements.
Experience designing and optimizing employee and manager self‑service experiences.
Ability to lead cross‑functional discussions, influence stakeholders, and drive alignment.
Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and design‑thinking capabilities.
