About The Role

The Manager, Workday Reporting & Analytics will serve as a key technical resource for Workday report development, integration reporting, and analytics delivery within the HR Data & Analytics team. The Manager will support the full lifecycle of reporting initiatives, from requirements gathering through deployment and optimization, and will partner directly with HR and Finance Centers of Excellence (COEs) across the firm. The ideal candidate combines strong Workday HCM reporting expertise with the ability to translate ambiguous business needs into precise, scalable reporting solutions while managing competing priorities across multiple workstreams.

What You'll Do

Workday Report Development

• Design, build, and maintain advanced Workday reports (Advanced, Matrix, Composite) and complex calculated fields across HCM, Recruiting, Compensation, Benefits, Absence, Talent, and Payroll.

• Build reporting solutions that account for Workday security model impacts (domain, role-based, and user-based security), ensuring accurate, appropriately scoped data for each audience.

• Build and manage dashboards and discovery boards to deliver self-service analytics to HR leadership and COE partners.

• Serve as an escalation point for report defects, performance issues, and complex data interpretation questions, and evaluate new reporting features with each biannual Workday release.

Integration Reporting

• Design and maintain custom reports that serve as data sources for outbound integrations, including web service-enabled reports (RaaS) consumed by downstream systems and vendors.

• Develop integration audit, reconciliation, and error reporting to monitor data flows between Workday and connected systems.

• Partner with the HR Technology team on reporting requirements for integrations built on EIBs, Core Connectors, Studio, and Orchestrate, and validate report-based integration outputs during testing cycles and biannual releases.

Project & Stakeholder Management

• Own the project lifecycle for assigned reporting initiatives: intake, requirements, scoping, build, UAT, deployment, and documentation.

• Serve as a liaison between HR COEs (Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, HR Business Partners, People Analytics) and the reporting function, translating ambiguous requests into clearly defined technical requirements.

• Manage competing priorities across concurrent workstreams, proactively communicating status, risks, and trade-offs.

• Prepare clear documentation including report specifications, data dictionaries, test plans, and end-user guides.

Team & Platform Partnership

• Work closely with the wider HR Data & Analytics team, partnering with colleagues focused on Power BI-based analytics and data infrastructure to ensure Workday reporting complements and feeds the broader analytics ecosystem.

• Collaborate closely with the HR Technology team on configuration changes, integrations, and platform enhancements that affect reporting.

• Mentor report writers and analysts, and contribute to reporting standards, naming conventions, and best practices.

• Maintain deep working knowledge of Workday business processes and the underlying data model.

• Advise on data quality, governance, and audit readiness, and identify opportunities to extend analytics beyond native Workday via Prism Analytics or Power BI.

• Help shape the team's adoption of AI capabilities, including Workday's evolving AI and machine learning features (e.g., Workday Illuminate) and AI-assisted approaches to report development, data analysis, and insight generation, with attention to responsible use and emerging AI governance standards.
