Overview:
How you can make a difference
This role is the foundation of HealthEquity’s Workday platform. As the Sr Workday Tech Lead – Core HCM, Benefits & Security, you will own the core configuration, data model, and security framework that every People process depends on. This is not a “keep the lights on” role. It’s an opportunity to shape the long‑term health, stability, and scalability of an enterprise Workday ecosystem at a moment of significant transformation.
You will serve as the platform steward for Core HCM, Benefits, and Workday Security—ensuring worker data integrity, clean lifecycle processes, appropriate access, and durable configuration that can support growth and increasingly sophisticated People programs.
Your decisions will critically determine whether the platform remains trusted, auditable, and resilient over time. This role requires someone who can operate deep in the technical details while also pulling back to see the system as a whole. You’ll be expected to identify downstream impacts, push back on short‑term or requirements‑driven decisions that introduce risk, and help guide the organization toward solutions that protect the platform long after go‑live.
Success here means Workday remains a stable system of record, not a fragile patchwork of fixes.
