What You'll Do / What You'll Need / Bonus Points / About the Team

What You'll Do

* Technology and process consulting - as a Payroll/Absence technology expert you will not only advise the business on which tools/configurations fit their needs but you can consult on the best processes that compliment your solutions. You will very clearly understand the downstream impacts of potential solutions and advise the business accordingly.
* Special projects / ad hoc analyses - you will help evaluate and drive new initiatives, products, risks and opportunities that are constantly arising.
* Business partnering - work closely with business leaders to define our people processes, then use Workday to optimize the workflow.
* Sophisticated reporting and analysis - you'll build reports directly in Workday, but you'll also help develop complex datasets for the People Data Analytics team to power their work.
* Product support - you will help to field a high-volume and variety of requests from the business to ensure they're resolved quickly and accurately.

What You'll Need

* 3+ years experience in Workday Payroll and/or Absence implementation/configuration support.
* Systems work is second-nature to you, and you're looking to apply your skills in more complex projects with more ownership.
* Excellent communication (written and verbal) and relationship building/partnership skills.
* Team player - None of our work is in a silo. You thrive on collaboration and seek to find the best possible solution for Uber. You're willing to help out wherever needed.

Bonus Points:

* General Workday Core HCM skills, and other HR systems experience is a plus.
