  • Serve as an SME in global HRIS initiatives and support integration with other systems.
  • Provide leadership in design sessions and mentor less experienced team members.
Must-Have Requirements
  • 8-10 years of Workday HCM experience, specializing in Time Tracking, Scheduling, Payroll, and Absence.
  • Strong hands-on expertise in Workday configuration, including BPs and integrations.
  • 3+ full lifecycle Workday HCM implementations, including PATT modules.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage large-scale HRIS projects in compliance-driven environments.
  • Experience supporting international payroll and time tracking, including labor law and compliance considerations.

  • Experience with international HR or payroll compliance.
  • Prior consulting experience (ex-Big 4 or equivalent a plus).
  • Proven leadership skills, including mentoring junior analysts and leading project teams.
Education
  • Bachelor's degree in HR, IT, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
Reasons to Work Here
  • High-impact role in a major Workday HCM transformation.
  • Competitive compensation package including base + variable bonus.

The staffing industry has seen an increase in people falsely representing themselves as recruiters to gather personal information from job seekers. For your safety, do not provide sensitive data to anyone you have not spoken with thoroughly, never provide banking information during the application process and always double check the email address of the Recruiter to ensure it's from an official Planet domain (@theplanetgroup.com or @launchcg.com) - and not a domain with an alternative extension like .net, .org or .jobs.
