Qualifications • 7+ years of payroll experience with at least 5 years in Workday Payroll, time tracking, and absence management. • Expertise in Workday configuration, including payroll calculations and business process frameworks, with a solid understanding of Workday data structures and how employee, payroll, time, and financial data elements interrelate. • Experience using Workday integrations (EIB, Core Connectors, Studio preferred). • Strong hands-on experience executing payroll within Workday, including issue resolution and operational support. • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. • Knowledge of payroll compliance requirements and applicable regulations. • Experience supporting audits and maintaining strong internal controls. • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications • Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) designation. • Experience in regulated industries such as utilities. • Familiarity with financial systems (e.g., Oracle Fusion, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards) and ERP integrations. • Experience working in a shared services or support environment, including handling payroll inquiries and ticket-based issue resolution. • Experience supporting more than one pay group, unionized and non-unionized workforce, and multiple jurisdictions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
