Performance Objectives

Global Workday Ownership

•       Serve as global system owner and accountable leader for Workday across all HR and Payroll modules

•       Own Workday's health, data integrity, and configuration governance post-implementation; establish the processes that keep the system accurate, optimized, and audit-ready

•       Drive continuous improvement and feature adoption across Workday's bi-annual release cycles; evaluate new capabilities against Enverus' roadmap and prioritize accordingly

•       Partner with IT to manage integrations, access governance, and system architecture decisions; own the Workday vendor relationship and roadmap alignment

Change Management & HR Function Transformation

•       Own the ongoing management strategy for Workday adoption across the global HR team and broader organization — building the competency and confidence that turns Workday from a tool into a capability

•       Lead the transformation of HR Technology's identity within Enverus — from reactive support function to proactive, insight-generating business partner and function of truth for people data

•       Design and deliver change enablement programs that drive adoption, reduce workarounds, and ensure HR and people managers use Workday as intended

•       Serve as the primary internal advocate for data quality, standard process adherence, and consistent system use across the global HR organization

Executive Partnership & Business Engagement

•       Build and maintain trusted relationships with senior business leaders — the go-to resource for workforce data, people analytics, and HR systems questions at the executive level

•       Translate complex data and system capabilities into clear, actionable insights for executive audiences; own the narrative around talent health

•       Partner with HR Business Partners and business leaders to identify the analytical questions that matter most and build scalable answers

•       Proactively surface insights to leadership — not waiting to be asked, but anticipating what leaders need to know before it becomes a problem

Talent Analytics Leadership

•       Own and expand Enverus' Talent Analytics function to include the strategy, operating model, toolset, and team capability

•       Build a suite of standard and self-service dashboards and reports that give HR and business leaders real-time visibility into workforce health, talent pipeline, attrition risk, and compensation equity

•       Establish the data governance framework for people data — defining metrics, calculation standards, and data definitions that ensure consistency across all reporting

•       Evolve Talent Analytics from descriptive reporting toward predictive and prescriptive capabilities; evaluate and implement analytics tools that extend Workday's native reporting where needed

Team Leadership

•       Lead, develop, and grow a small team of HRIS and Talent Analytics professionals — setting clear expectations, building technical and analytical capability, and creating a culture of precision and service

•       Model the quality and partnership standards that define how the HR Technology function operates; build the team structure needed to scale as Enverus' Workday footprint and analytics maturity grow

Competitive Candidate Profile

Workday & HRIS Experience

•       8+ years of progressive HRIS and HR Technology experience, with a minimum of 5 recent years in a Workday-focused role spanning multiple modules

•       Direct, hands-on experience owning or co-owning a full-cycle Workday implementation — from design and configuration through go-live and post-implementation stabilization

•       Proven experience as a global Workday system owner post-implementation, responsible for ongoing configuration governance, data integrity, release management, and module optimization

•       Strong functional depth across HCM, Payroll, Recruiting, Advanced Compensation, Workforce Planning, People Analytics, AI tools, Benefit Integrations and Absence

Change Management & Organizational Influence

•       Demonstrated ability to help lead change management for a major HR technology transformation — the sustained adoption work that happens after go-live, not just launch communications

•       Experience repositioning or rebranding an HR Systems or HRIS function within a broader HR organization — shifting how it is perceived and how it operates

•       Track record of influencing senior stakeholders and executive leaders without direct authority, using data, credibility, and relationships to drive behavior change

•       Proven ability to work across a complex, global organization spanning multiple geographies, employment models, and cultures

Analytics & Data Leadership

•       Experience leading or building a Talent Analytics or People Analytics function — including defining metrics, establishing data governance, and developing reporting infrastructure

•       Analytically credible: able to build, interpret, and present complex workforce data and translate it into executive-ready narrative and insight

•       Hands-on experience with Workday reporting tools and at least one BI platform such as Power BI

•       Strong grasp of people analytics domains: attrition and retention modeling, compensation equity, headcount planning, talent pipeline health, and workforce diversity metrics

Leadership & Communication

•       2-5+ years of people management experience; track record of building and developing high-performing technical and analytical teams

•       Executive-level communication skills — equally comfortable presenting to a CHRO and explaining a configuration decision to an analyst

Nice to have:

•       Workday HCM or Payroll certification; Workday Reporting or People Analytics certification a plus

•       Experience in the energy, SaaS, or data-intensive industry sectors

•       Familiarity with Workday Extend or integration middleware (Workday Studio, Boomi, or equivalent)

•       Experience designing and implementing competency-based performance or talent review frameworks within Workday
