About The Team

Stripe’s People Systems Team sits at the intersection of technology and human experience. We are internal consultants who turn ambiguity into scale. Part of the People Solutions org, we partner with Corporate Technology, Finance, the wider People team including Talent and Total Rewards to build a world-class employee experience. We are a "strategy-first, quality- execution-always" team that values technical rigor, nimble problem-solving, and a deep empathy for the Stripes we serve.

What you’ll do

As a Senior People Systems Analyst, you will be a technical anchor for our Workday ecosystem. This role isn't just about maintenance; it’s about architecting the future of our People data. You will own the technical health of our HCM, Compensation and Prism environments, balancing critical KLTO (Keep Lights On) operations with high-impact strategic projects.

Beyond core Workday, you will act as a bridge to our broader tech stack, supporting and optimizing HRIS tools built on top of Workday to ensure a seamless data flow and a unified user experience.

You will play a pivotal role during high-pressure cycles like Annual Total Rewards (ATR), acting as a bridge between complex technical requirements and the urgent needs of our Compensation stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Architect & Execute: Lead the technical configuration for annual cycles (ATR/Comp Planning), driving technical requirements, implementation, testing, and deployment to ensure a frictionless user experience.
High-Pressure Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary technical partner for the Compensation team. You will navigate high-stakes environments with composure, translating urgent business needs into scalable Workday solutions.
Collaborative Escalation: Actively contribute to our supportive team culture by sharing knowledge and assisting peers. You must demonstrate the judgment to escalate risks and roadblocks timely, ensuring that "pressure" doesn't become "blockage."
System Subject Matter Expertise: Serve as the primary expert and point-of-contact for day-to-day support of Workday HCM & Compensation, managing business processes, integrations, reporting, and dashboards to ensure consistent, high-quality operations.
Data Orchestration: Leverage Workday Prism to ingest, transform, and report on high-volume data sets, providing leadership with actionable insights.
Document Engineering: Design and maintain professional, pixel-perfect compensation and stock statements using BIRT or Workday docs.
Strategic Roadmapping: Work alongside People Solutions to drive product-led strategic projects from discovery to deployment, ensuring our Workday footprint evolves ahead of Stripe’s growth
Operational Excellence: Manage KLTO work with high precision, serving as the Tier 3 expert for HCM, Advanced Comp, and Security.
Compliance & Governance: Maintain a rigorous posture on SOX compliance and Workday security model integrity.
Stakeholder Diplomacy: Partner with the wider Solutions team and our stakeholders to translate complex business needs into scalable technical requirements, setting clear expectations and managing project timelines.

Data Discretion: Proven experience working with highly confidential information and supporting critical business operations and processes.
Communication: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to set clear expectations with senior stakeholders and the confidence to escalate issues when necessary.
Technical Tooling: Proven expertise in Workday Prism Analytics, EIB and BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools).
Cycle Leadership: Successful track record leading the technical backend of Annual Comp/Performance cycles in a medium-to-large global enterprise.
Reporting Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Matrix and Composite reporting; you understand how to tell a story with data.
Project Ownership: Ability to lead cross-functional projects, navigating ambiguity and high-pressure timelines with a sense of urgency.
Academic: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

Certified Expert: Workday certifications in Advanced Compensation or Prism.

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users.
