As a key player in our digital HR transformation, you will act as a strategic advisor, leveraging your deep Workday configuration expertise to unlock new efficiencies and elevate the employee experience.

A major focus of this role will be driving the adoption of emerging, cutting-edge AI technologies within our HR tech ecosystem. You will spearhead initiatives that modernize our processes, taking us into the future of HR technology.
