Why Harvey

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1500+ customers in 60+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

Role Overview

We're seeking a Sr. People Systems Analyst to join our Corporate IT team and serve as a Workday specialist focused on Compensation configuration, with additional expertise spanning reporting, security roles, integrations, or benefits. You'll own the hands-on configuration, maintenance, and optimization of Workday Compensation modules — including supporting annual compensation review cycles, compensation planning, equity grant processes, and compensation statements — while partnering cross-functionally to ensure our people systems scale seamlessly with Harvey's rapid global growth. This role is responsible for ensuring compensation data integrity, building scalable system processes, and delivering accurate, compliant, and user-friendly experiences for employees, managers, and stakeholders worldwide.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on Workday configurator with deep expertise in Compensation and at least one additional functional area (reporting, security roles, integrations, or benefits), who thrives in a high-growth environment and can balance tactical system work with strategic roadmap planning.

What You'll Do
  • Configure and maintain Workday Compensation plans, including base pay, bonus targets, one-time payments, equity grants, and compensation grade profiles across multiple countries.

  • Support annual and mid-year compensation review cycles end-to-end — including integration with performance management tools, compensation change loads, compensation statements, and manager reporting.

  • Build and maintain custom reports and dashboards in Workday to support People Ops, Total Rewards, Finance, Payroll, and cross-functional stakeholders with compensation data, headcount reporting, incentive compensation tracking, and compliance audits.

  • Support the implementation and configuration of the Advanced Compensation module within Workday, including compensation planning cycles, merit increases, bonus calculations, and equity refresh processes.

  • Manage Workday integrations related to compensation data — including connections to payroll systems, market data providers (e.g., Pave, Radford), ATS platforms (e.g., Ashby), and financial planning tools.

  • Configure and maintain Workday security roles and permissions, including domain and business process security, role-based access controls, and audit readiness — ensuring sensitive compensation data is properly segmented and auditable.

  • Partner cross-functionally with People Ops, Total Rewards, Payroll, Finance, Legal, and IT to gather requirements, design scalable processes, and deliver system solutions aligned with business needs.

  • Manage Workday release cycles, including reviewing new features, running regression testing, and deploying configuration updates to production.What You Have

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in Workday configuration and administration, with deep hands-on expertise in Compensation modules (including compensation plans, grade profiles, compensation statements, and one-time payments).

  • Proven experience supporting compensation review cycles within Workday, including data loads, statement generation, and manager enablement.

  • Strong proficiency in Workday custom report writing, including advanced reports, calculated fields, and scheduled/automated report delivery.

  • Experience with Workday security configuration, including domain and business process security, role-based access, and audit readiness.

  • Experience building and managing Workday integrations (e.g., EIBs, Core Connectors, or RAAS reports).

  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, especially with non-technical teams.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth, and global environment.
