About The Position

Workday/UKG Security Application Analysts serve as a key liaison between Human Resources, Payroll, Information Systems, Compliance, and business operations, ensuring that Workday and UKG security models effectively protect organizational data while supporting workforce management and human capital management processes. This role requires a strong understanding of application security, role-based access controls, segregation of duties, identity and access management, and HR business processes. Analysts translate security and operational requirements into scalable security solutions that maintain data integrity, regulatory compliance, and an exceptional employee experience. A significant portion of an analyst's day is dedicated to managing security roles, troubleshooting access issues, supporting audits, monitoring security configurations, and implementing enhancements across the Workday and UKG platforms. Responsibilities include configuring and maintaining security roles, domain and business process security policies, reviewing user provisioning requests, validating integrations, supporting system upgrades and releases, conducting security testing, and partnering with Human Resources, Compliance, Internal Audit, and Information Security teams to ensure applications remain secure and compliant. Much of this work is coordinated through structured communication channels, including Microsoft Teams, email, project meetings, and cross-functional collaboration. Workday/UKG Security Application Analysts also spend time collaborating with Human Resources, Payroll, Talent Acquisition, Benefits, Information Systems, Identity and Access Management, Internal Audit, Compliance, and operational leaders to support enterprise security initiatives and optimize application security. Their week may include security reviews, project meetings, audit preparation, workflow design sessions, testing events, and production support activities. Throughout the day, analysts work directly with business users and technical teams to resolve access challenges, improve security processes, support strategic initiatives, and ensure appropriate access to enterprise applications while protecting sensitive organizational data.
