- P&C Enablement: Spearhead initiatives aimed at increasing the adoption and utilization of P&C reporting tools and insights across the organization.You will build learning personas and tailored offerings to upskill P&C staff and lead the transition from requesting reports to ensuring "non-data" people become confident "data champions."

- Executive Partnership: Act as a consultant to the P&C Heads of Region and other business leaders, identifying analytical trends and surfacing them at the executive table.

- Measure Impact: Contribute to the development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for all new people initiatives, to define success measures and metrics.
- Data Pod Partnership: Bridge the gap between Workday and Looker dashboards working in close collaboration with our Corporate Data and FP&A teams.
- People Analytics Technology: Research and assess the adoption of new reporting tools and AI opportunities that contribute to the development of our people analytics and reporting.
- Governance: Define and monitor Insights best practices, including maintaining functional and requirement documents and ensure the successful delivery of TSI audit requirements related to reporting.
- Integration Support: Provide support for integration report change requests or new integration builds, collaborating closely with the Information Systems (IS) team.
- Issue Resolution: Perform advanced root cause analysis for complex system errors, implementing sustainable fixes rather than temporary workarounds.

- 5+ years of hands-on experience specifically within the Workday ecosystem
- Expert-level proficiency in creating complex Calculated Fields, with a mastery of Advanced, Matrix, Composite, and nBox reporting.

- A history of identifying system inefficiencies and successfully implementing sustainable fixes based on best practices.
- Pod-Based Collaboration: Experience working in agile/pod environments, acting as the "Product Owner" for People Data.
