Workday Platform Manager
A prominent Minnesota-based retail organization seeks a strategic Technology Manager to own its Workday HCM ecosystem and supporting platform. This is a platform-ownership role—not people leadership—responsible for post-split tenant stabilization, roadmap execution, process optimization, analytics, and delivering an exceptional employee experience across a dynamic, high-growth organization.
What Sets This Opportunity Apart
• Direct ownership of the full HR technology roadmap during a pivotal split and transformation
• Workday Success Plans + dedicated IT/Payroll partners for support
• Unlimited PTO, bonus eligibility, and a culture that values authenticity, community, and impact
• Hybrid role (3 days/week onsite)
Must be local to the Twin Cities, and we cannot offer sponsorship for this role.
Desired Skills and Experience
- 5+ years hands-on Workday HCM configuration across multiple modules (Core HCM, Compensation, Benefits, Performance, etc.)
- 3+ years as Workday system administrator managing security, releases, integrations, and performance
- Demonstrated success leading HR tech projects, change management, and cross-functional initiatives
- Advanced Excel, reporting, and data analytics skills; Bachelor’s degree required
- Preferred: Workday certifications and integration experience
