Job Description
Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking a
Senior HRIS Analyst
who is as comfortable building a global performance cycle as they are diving into the ticket queue to solve a complex business process error. You are someone who leads the evolution of our Workday Talent landscape but remains deeply "hands-on" in the system. You don't just fix problems; you document the "why" and bring junior team members along for the ride. We need a versatile Workday expert who is passionate about
Talent & Performance
but has the HCM-adjacent breadth to support the broader ecosystem whenever needed and a desire to continue developing.
What You’ll Be Doing
Full-Stack Configuration:
Own the end-to-end configuration for Talent & Performance (Reviews, Calibration, Succession, Reporting and the connection between Talent and Advanced Comp processes) while maintaining "day-to-day" ticket workload across Talent and other supported modules.
Mentorship & Cross-Training:
Act as a technical escalation point for junior analysts. You will lead "knowledge transfer" sessions and build documentation to ensure the team is cross-trained and that no single person is a "single point of failure."
System Evolution:
Lead the technical roadmap for Talent features, ensuring we are maximizing our Workday investment through biannual releases and feature adoption.
Production Support:
Troubleshoot complex issues involving Calculated Fields, Business Processes, and Security Groups with a focus on root-cause analysis and permanent solutions.
Stakeholder Partnership:
Partner with business stakeholders to translate "people strategy" into technical reality, managing expectations and delivering results in an agile environment.
Required Qualifications
Experience:
5+ years in HRIS, with 3+ years of deep Workday configuration experience.
Module Expertise:
2+ years of deep configuration experience within Workday Talent & Performance. Flexibility and experience in Core HCM, Reporting, Compensation or Adv. Comp is highly preferred.
Technical "Heavy Lifting":
Expert-level skills in Reporting, Calculated Fields, and EIBs. You must be comfortable managing data loads and complex logic independently.
Testing & Documentation:
A disciplined approach to UAT, regression testing, and creating "living" technical documentation that the whole team can use.
Language:
Professional fluency in English (written and verbal).
Location:
Based in or willing to relocate to Mexico City.
What Will Set You Apart
The "No Task Too Small" Mentality:
You take pride in a clean ticket queue and high user satisfaction scores.
Natural Teacher:
You have a track record of coaching more junior peers and helping them level up their configuration skills.
Solution Architect Mindset:
You can look at a messy manual process and visualize the automated Workday solution, then actually build it.
Bilingual Communication:
The ability to explain complex technical "Workday-speak" to non-technical stakeholders
Curiosity:
Naturally curious and solutions-driven, with a history of taking ownership and driving tasks forward with minimal direction
