Workday HRIS Director
- Up to $220,000 + 30% bonus
- Remote (US)

We are partnering with a privately held organization seeking an HRIS Director to own and evolve their Workday HCM environment, driving the roadmap and continuous improvement of the platform.

• Own the overall direction of Workday and shape the roadmap alongside the business
• Act as the go-to person for Workday design decisions and configuration approach
• Support global growth and acquisitions from a Workday perspective
• Lead bi-annual Workday releases from planning through to deployment
• Stay hands-on in the system where needed, while guiding others day to day
• Make sure Workday continues to work well as the organisation grows and changes

Live modules: Core HCM, Compensation, Advanced Compensation, Payroll, Benefits, Recruiting, Learning, Performance & Talent, Reporting & Analytics. The ideal candidate will have experience across all of the above modules, with a strong preference for Advanced Compensation and Payroll.

• 7 or more years of hands-on Workday experience, ideally in a complex, global organisation
• Experience owning a Workday HCM environment end-to-end
• Comfortable leading and developing Workday team members, with direct people management experience
• Strong, practical experience with Advanced Compensation and Payroll
• Used to working in fast-moving or evolving environments where the system needs to scale
• Exposure to M&A or large organisational change is a plus, but not essential

This is a great opportunity for someone with a collaborative, team-first mindset who enjoys balancing Workday road-mapping with hands-on delivery. You will partner closely with key stakeholders, drive continuous improvement, and own a complex, global Workday environment focused on optimization and growth. The role sits within a close-knit, friendly team where hard work is genuinely valued and recognized.
