Senior HRIS Analyst (Workday)

Oura is implementing Workday as our core HRIS, and we're looking for a Senior HRIS Analyst, Workday Administrator to be the hands-on technical expert who keeps the system running well and keeps improving it. Reporting to the VP, HR Operations, this role owns the configuration, testing, and deployment of Workday business processes and is the go-to person for turning HR and business requirements into reliable, well-built solutions in the system. You'll partner closely with HR, IT, Payroll, and business stakeholders to optimize Workday for Oura's specific use cases, and you'll care as much about the day-to-day experience of employees, managers, and the HR team as you do about the technical build behind it.

Responsibilities

Workday Business Process Configuration: Configure, test, and deploy Workday business processes (e.g., hire, job changes, compensation, terminations, absence, performance) end-to-end, including conditional rules, routing, notifications, and approval chains; People Systems Optimization: Continuously evaluate how Oura uses its People Systems (e.g., Workday, and other HR/talent tools) and identify opportunities to simplify, automate, and improve configuration so these systems fit our real workflows rather than forcing workarounds; End User Experience: Design and refine self-service workflows, forms, and notifications so that everyday tasks — from onboarding to time off to org changes — feel simple and intuitive for employees and managers, and HR; Security & Data Governance: Maintain and audit Workday security groups, domain and business process security policies, and role-based access to ensure data is accurate, compliant, and appropriately restricted; Testing & Change Management: Build and execute test scripts for new configurations, tenant updates, and Workday's biannual releases; manage regression testing and coordinate UAT with HR and business stakeholders; Reporting & Analytics: Build and maintain custom reports, calculated fields, and dashboards that give HR and business leaders reliable, timely insight into their people data; Integration Support: Partner with IT and implementation partners on EIBs, Core Connectors, and third-party integrations (payroll, benefits, ATS, etc.), troubleshooting data issues as they arise; Documentation & Enablement: Maintain clear configuration documentation and job aids, and train HR team members and people managers on new functionality and process changes; Cross-Functional Partnership: Work closely with HR Ops, HRBPs, Payroll, IT, and Legal to ensure Workday configuration supports compliant, scalable people processes across all of Oura's locations; This Space Intentionally Left Blank: Oura is growing and changing quickly; this role will evolve as the company and our Workday tenant mature.

Requirements

5+ years of hands-on Workday HCM administration/configuration experience, including business process framework, calculated fields, and condition rules; Demonstrated ability to independently configure, test, and deploy changes across Workday tenants (sandbox/preview/production) following proper change management practices; Solid understanding of Workday security model (security groups, domain/business process policies) and comfort auditing and remediating access; Experience supporting Workday releases, including regression testing and coordinating UAT with business stakeholders; Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to translate ambiguous business requests into clean, well-documented system configuration; A genuine focus on end-user experience — you think about how a change will feel to an employee or manager, not just whether it's technically correct; Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical configuration in plain language to non-technical stakeholders; Comfort operating with a good degree of independence in a fast-moving, still-maturing HRIS environment

Nice to have

Workday Pro certification(s) (HCM, Core Compensation, Absence, Reporting, or similar); Experience with Workday Studio, EIBs, or other integration tooling; Experience configuring Workday reporting (custom reports, calculated fields, dashboards) or Workday Prism; Experience supporting a global or multi-country Workday tenant (e.g., US, UK, Finland, Singapore, and more); Experience with a greenfield Workday implementation or major HRIS migration

Competitive salary and equity packages; Health, dental, vision insurance, and mental health resources; An Oura Ring of your own plus employee discounts for friends & family; 20 days of paid time off plus 13 paid holidays plus 8 days of flexible wellness time off; Paid sick leave and parental leave
