About The Position

We are looking for a Workday Analyst to take ownership of Workday and help ensure our Finance systems work the way the business needs them to. While the external title is Workday Analyst, this role is a Business Systems Analyst at its core. The focus is not just system support, but true ownership of how Workday operates, improves, and delivers value over time. This role is ideal for someone with strong Workday back end experience who understands finance processes and wants to be responsible for the health, effectiveness, and evolution of a critical enterprise platform. You will work closely with Finance leaders and the technology team to turn business needs into reliable, well run system solutions. This is not a ticket-based support role. It is an opportunity to own a system, improve how it works, and make a measurable impact on the business.
