About The Position

Join Collibra’s People Solutions team as it evolves beyond basic SaaS administration into a strategic People function, using automation to improve efficiency for its global workforce. Reporting to the Senior Manager, People Solutions, you will own meaningful parts of Collibra’s Workday ecosystem, with the opportunity to grow into broader responsibilities over time. The role is designed as a growth path rather than a fully scoped seat from day one. This is a hybrid role based in Collibra’s Raleigh office. Employees work from the office at least two days each week to stay connected and collaborate closely. The position focuses on Workday configuration, reporting, security, and automation across People Technology systems. You will build automations and agentic workflow prototypes, partner with People and Places, IT, and other teams to resolve complex issues, and identify opportunities to reduce manual work in People Operations. Success milestones include becoming oriented to the Workday, ATS, and Workato environment in the first month; shipping an automation or agentic workflow and independently handling relevant configuration and reporting requests by the third month; and expanding automation beyond Workday and the ATS while taking on greater configuration and security ownership by the sixth month. The standard base salary range is $100,000–$120,000 per year. The position is not eligible for additional commission-based compensation. Offers take into account factors including experience, skills, and location. The total rewards package includes bonus potential, equity for eligible roles, a monthly Flex Fund stipend, and pension/401k plans. The position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
