About The Position

Davidson Hospitality Group is seeking a Workday Product Analyst to join its Strategic Operations team. This is a hands-on role for a Workday professional who knows the platform beyond the basics and enjoys solving problems, improving processes, and taking ownership of the work. The ideal candidate will have strong functional and technical Workday experience, particularly across HCM, Benefits, Compensation, and Reporting, and can contribute quickly in a fast-moving, highly collaborative environment. The role involves resolving Workday tickets, troubleshooting business processes, building or modifying reports, loading EIBs, supporting compliance or document management needs, and working through project sprints. The team operates in approximately six-week project sprints, allowing for a balance of day-to-day support and larger system enhancements. The preference is for this position to be based on-site at Davidson Hospitality Group’s corporate office in Dunwoody, GA, but a remote arrangement may be considered for a highly qualified candidate. This is an opportunity for someone with strong Workday expertise to gain greater product ownership and visibility, and to help shape how Workday supports a growing, multi-state hospitality organization.
