  • Data mapping and transformation validation
  • Error handling and reconciliation
  • Payload, report, and downstream data accuracy checks
• Test integrations built using native Workday tools (Workday Studio, EIB, PECI/PICOF, and Core Connectors).
• Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects through resolution in close coordination with functional and technical teams.
• Partner with implementation teams, data/integration teams, and business stakeholders to ensure complete test coverage across all go‑live milestones.
• Support UAT cycles, including defect triage, retesting, and preparation of sign‑off documentation ahead of each wave deployment.

• 3+ years of QA experience, with at least 2 years focused on Workday implementations or post‑production support.
