Systems Analyst

We're looking for an experienced People Systems Analyst with deep Workday expertise to join our team at a pivotal moment, as we navigate a Workday tenant merge and drive the next phase of our HCM roadmap. This isn't a maintenance role. You'll be a key player in shaping how Workday works across our business — configuring, improving, and scaling our environment to support thousands of employees across multiple markets.

• Own the configuration and administration of Workday HCM — designing and building business processes, advising the People team, managers, and employees on best use of the system.
• Support the post go‑live optimisation of the Workday tenant merge, improving data integrity and process alignment across the combined environment.
• Drive automation and process improvement, identifying opportunities to reduce manual effort and increase the efficiency of People Systems and workflows.
• Partner with stakeholders across the business to gather requirements, analyse needs, and deliver practical, well‑designed Workday solutions.
• Manage the prioritisation and resolution of Workday fixes, enhancements, and day‑to‑day support queries in collaboration with the rest of the People Systems team.
• Support bi‑annual Workday releases — including impact assessment, sandbox testing, implementation, training, and communication to the business.
• Champion system governance and security, maintaining appropriate Workday security configuration and ensuring data integrity across the platform.
• Contribute to reporting capability, building and maintaining Workday reports to support People team insight and decision‑making.
• Support project delivery across Workday modules — from scoping and development through to testing, training, and go‑live.
• Adhere to the Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) obligations for your role, identify and raise any non‑compliance incidents promptly, and challenge processes that may negatively impact compliance.
• Complete mandatory compliance training and keep abreast of compliance obligations.

• Successful delivery of key milestones on the Workday roadmap, including the tenant merge optimization.
• Quality and timeliness of configuration changes, fixes, and project deliverables.
• Reduction in manual processes through automation and system improvements.
• Stakeholder satisfaction — measured through feedback from the People team and business partners.
• Compliance with Workday release management processes, including timely testing and sign‑off.
• Acting in line with FDJ UNITED values.
• Successful completion of all relevant training and other compliance activities that support FDJ's sustainable and responsible growth.

• Minimum 2 years of hands‑on Workday experience in a post go‑live environment.
• Strong functional knowledge across Workday modules including HCM, Absence, Benefits, Talent, Learning, and Time Tracking.
• Solid understanding of Workday business process configuration, security, and reporting.
• Experience gathering and translating business requirements into effective Workday solutions.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities and delivering to deadlines in a fast‑paced environment.
• Strong communicator — able to engage confidently with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• A curious, improvement‑focused mindset.
• Experience supporting or delivering a Workday tenant merge or implementation.
• Familiarity with EIBs, calculated fields, or Workday integrations at a functional level.
• Understanding of HR processes and how they translate into system design.
• Experience supporting Workday bi‑annual releases, including sandbox testing and impact assessment.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and evaluate each candidate based on merit, regardless of personal characteristics such as age, gender, origin, religion, sexual orientation, neurodiversity or disability.
