Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Well… you might just be in the right place!

We’re looking for a Workday
Specialist, Talent Insights & Reporting to join our Talent and Insights team. You will scale our Workday reporting infrastructure - extracting raw workforce data, auditing data quality, and supporting impactful visualization initiatives. You will bridge the gap between back-end data and high-level strategy, collaborating with HR leaders, Finance, and cross-functional teams to deliver insights that advance business goals and enrich the employee experience.

Shape how our business uses data to power people strategy.

What you’ll be doing:

Reporting and Visualization

  • Design, build, and maintain custom Workday reports across various Workday modules (Core HCM, Talent, Recruiting, Compensation, Benefits, Payroll, and Time/Absence).

  • Utilize Workday’s advanced reporting tools, including Advanced, Matrix, Trending, and Composite report types.

  • Develop end-to-end solutions by translating complex business requirements into scalable and efficient reporting solutions.

  • Extract data from Workday and other HR systems, analyze data to identify trends, patterns, and insights related to workforce demographics, performance, compensation, turnover, and other HR metrics.

  • Data Governance and Integrity

  • Ensure data integrity and accuracy by implementing data quality checks and validation procedures and by routinely auditing source data and reporting logic.

  • Contribute to the development and maintenance of data governance policies and procedures.

  • Monitor report performance, optimizing complex calculated fields to ensure fast load times and clean system performance.

  • Maintain and evolve our report inventory management practices to ensure stakeholders have reliable data sources.

  • Audit

  • Build, maintain, and enhance audit reports that support a wide range of audit controls.

  • Partner with internal and external auditors to develop scalable, accurate, and consistent audit reporting processes.

  • Stakeholder Collaboration & Enablement

  • Serve as the subject matter expert (SME) on Workday reporting capabilities, advising stakeholders on best practices and feasible solutions.

  • Partner with People Business Partners, Finance, IT and other stakeholders to understand their data needs and provide relevant insights.

  • Support business initiatives by providing data-driven recommendations and analysis.

  • Conduct Knowledge transfer sessions to promote data literacy and support the development of best reporting practices.

  • Work as a strategic partner to stakeholders and contribute to the execution of the Insights roadmap initiatives

  • What you need to bring:

    We're looking for a candidate who has experience with the following:

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in the Workday reporting ecosystem and large data sets.

  • Expert-level proficiency in creating complex Calculated Fields, with a mastery of Advanced, Matrix, and Composite reports.

  • Strong proficiency in Excel (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, Power Query)

  • Proven track record of building and managing high-stakes reports, such as Board of Directors decks, Sustainability (ESG) reporting, or Cyclical Reports.

  • Experience in maintaining data integrity across enterprise HR systems and conducting audits

  • Experience working within or closely with a People function, handling highly confidential data, demonstrating a deep understanding of HR lifecycles (Recruitment, Turnover, Compensation, and Diversity metrics) and people data metrics.

  • As a global company with employees and customers outside of Quebec, English proficiency is required for this role.

  • Even better if you have, but not necessary:

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Statistics, Data Science, or any combination of training and experience relevant for the role

  • Background working as an HR Business Analyst or Data Analyst

  • Experience working with People Analytics tools (Prism, Looker, Tableau, etc.)

  • Workday Pro Certification (Reporting)

  • We know that people are more than what’s on their CV. If you’re unsure that you have the right profile for the role... hit…
