Harvey Senior People Systems Analyst at Harvey to own and scale Workday HCM and related systems supporting a global workforce. Lead design, configuration, testing, and continuous improvement of complex business processes.
Responsibilities
We’re looking for a Senior People Systems Analyst to own and scale the systems and workflows that support Harvey’s growing global workforce. This role will primarily focus on Workday HCM, owning the design, configuration, testing, and continuous improvement of complex business processes. You’ll also be the go-to systems expert for Benefits and our Applicant Tracking System (Ashby). That means leading feature evaluation, solution design, configuration, root-cause troubleshooting, and end-to-end testing.
You’ll partner closely with People Operations, Benefits, Recruiting, Payroll, Finance, Legal, and Corporate IT to turn business needs into scalable, intuitive, and well-governed system solutions. The ideal candidate is an experienced, hands-on systems professional who works independently from requirements through deployment, brings a clear point of view on how to solve problems, and influences stakeholders toward durable, scalable outcomes.
Own the configuration, maintenance, and optimization of Workday HCM, including complex business processes, condition rules, approval routing, notifications, security assignments, and worker lifecycle workflows.
Lead solution design end to end: translate ambiguous business needs into system solutions, assess downstream impacts across HCM, Benefits, Payroll, reporting, integrations, and employee experience, and bring recommendations to critical decision points.
Serve as the subject-matter expert for Benefits systems, owning plan configuration, eligibility rules, enrollment workflows, vendor integrations, annual enrollment readiness, issue resolution, and process improvements.
Support Recruiting Systems and administration which includes integrations, and data quality.
Advise senior stakeholders on system capabilities, new features, configuration tradeoffs, and opportunities to simplify or automate manual processes. Explain complex topics clearly and persuasively.
Define and drive testing strategy across Workday, Benefits, Ashby, and connected systems, including workflow, regression, release, and user acceptance testing.
Diagnose complex or unusual system and data issues by tracing configuration, business rules, integrations, and upstream and downstream dependencies. Identify root causes and put durable fixes in place rather than one-off workarounds.
Lead enhancement projects from discovery through deployment with People Operations, Benefits, Recruiting, Payroll, Finance, Legal, and IT, including gathering requirements, documenting options, and prioritizing work.
Set the standard for configuration documentation, test plans, process maps, release notes, and operational procedures that support governance and team self-service.
Proactively monitor system health and data integrity, lead audit and reconciliation support, and uphold security and data governance practices for employee and candidate data.
