• Recommend sound solutions and efficient methods to support end to end business processes
• Provide guidance regarding security policies and role assignments, ensuring data integrity and compliance with GDPR, internal process and controls, and any other regulatory mandate
• Act as an active member for the Workday community – staying ahead of Workday updates and practices to think innovatively, and make recommendations to implement to deliver tactical enhancements
• Be a trusted advisor and partner frequently with senior leaders, business stakeholders and other HR teams across the globe
• Display confidence, emotional intelligence, and decisiveness

You’ll need to have:
