Job Summary

This is a dual-focus role built for someone who is genuinely excellent at Workday reporting and is ready to grow into a well-rounded people analytics practitioner. You will own the Workday Report Writer function for TAG's enterprise instance while also contributing to broader analytics work - building dashboards, partnering on workforce metrics, and helping us expand what our data can do.

The Workday side is the anchor of this role. You'll be the organization's go-to expert for Report Writer, calculated fields, matrix and composite reports, and RaaS configuration. But you'll also be expected to stretch: writing SQL for cross-system validation, contributing to Python-based workflows, adapting to Claude Code, and supporting the team's broader analytics output.

Stakeholders across Legal, Compliance, Brand HR, Compensation & Benefits, and the broader employee population depend on the accuracy of what you produce. This is a high-trust, high-ownership role where validation, proactive communication, and a genuine service orientation are non-negotiable.

Essential Responsibilities

Workday Reporting (Primary Focus)

• Serve as the organization's subject matter expert for Workday Report Writer - including advanced calculated fields and conditional logic, matrix and composite reports, and RaaS configuration for downstream consumption
• Build and maintain complex custom reports by navigating intricate business object relationships and data source dependencies
• Develop derived metrics and cross-functional calculated fields that support compensation, headcount, attrition, compliance, and field HR use cases
• Triage and manage a concurrent queue of reporting requests - assessing complexity, feasibility, and data availability before committing to timelines
• Troubleshoot reporting issues at the data model level, understanding how Workday configurations, security roles, and business object relationships affect output
• Validate every report output before delivery; errors caught by stakeholders are avoidable and not acceptable

People Analytics (Growth Area)

• Contribute to workforce reporting and metrics including headcount, attrition, tenure, diversity, and compensation analytics
• Build and maintain dashboards and visualizations that communicate workforce trends to HR leadership and business partners
• Use Python to automate repetitive data tasks, support report delivery workflows, and assist with data preparation for downstream analytics
• Write SQL for ad-hoc data extraction, cross-system validation, and supporting analytics pipelines
• Use AI Tools (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to support and augment analytics development processes
• Partner with the broader People Analytics team on projects that require combining Workday data with other HR and business data sources

Reporting Governance & Data Quality

• Own the organization and health of TAG's Workday HCM report library - naming conventions, folder structure, categorization, and access
• Audit existing reports regularly to identify duplicates, outdated outputs, and consolidation opportunities
• Document data lineage, transformation logic, and known nuances in our Workday instance
• Partner with HRIS to align governance standards and ensure all new reports are built and catalogued consistently
• Identify and resolve data discrepancies in partnership with HRIS and downstream data consumers

How We Work

Our team is small, direct, and holds a high bar for accuracy - because the data we produce supports decisions about real people. We work collaboratively with HRIS and HR partners across the organization, and we're trusted to own our work end-to-end.

• Validation is part of the job. Every output is checked before it leaves. Errors caught by stakeholders are avoidable - we don't let them happen.
• Proactive communication is the standard. Stakeholders don't chase us. We keep them informed before they need to ask.
• The report library is a product. A well-organized, consistently named report environment is part of what we deliver - not an afterthought.
• We use AI-assisted development tools to work more efficiently. Comfort with experimentation and new tools fits well with how we operate.

Qualifications

Required

• 4-6 years of experience in HR analytics, HRIS reporting, or a closely related technical role
• Workday Pro Certification in Reporting or Workday Consulting Certification
• Expert-level Workday Report Writer skills, including:
• Advanced calculated fields and conditional logic
• Matrix and composite reports
• Complex data source navigation and business object relationships
• RaaS configuration and exposure for downstream consumption
• Experience with Workday Report writing in the following functional areas: Core HCM, Recruiting, Absence, Payroll
• Deep understanding of Workday data architecture - how data flows through the system, how configurations affect output, and how to troubleshoot when reports don't behave as expected
• Strong track record of delivering accurate, validated outputs - with errors caught before delivery
• Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, XLOOKUP, complex formulas)
• Foundational-to-working SQL skills for ad-hoc extraction and cross-system validation
• Ability to manage a concurrent queue of requests with clear prioritization and proactive communication
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
