This fully remote opportunity supports the HR Reporting & Analytics team and offers the chance to improve a large, established reporting environment while helping strengthen its governance and scalability. Candidates in Eastern or Central time zones are preferred. The engagement is expected to begin as a three-month contract, with potential for extension or full-time conversion; neither is guaranteed. The Opportunity You'll work across an ecosystem of 5,000+ Workday reports and approximately 300 dashboards and Discovery Boards. This is more than a report-building role: you'll investigate what already exists, identify dependencies, adapt proven reporting assets, and reduce duplication. Approximately 60% of your work will focus on responding to reporting requests through report development or modification, with 40% dedicated to optimizing, enhancing, and consolidating existing reporting assets. You'll partner closely with HR teams, HR leadership, and the Power BI team.

Develop and modify Advanced, Matrix, Composite, and Trending Reports, calculated fields, prompts, and as-of-dating logic; support dashboards, Worksheets, and Discovery Boards. Assess existing report logic, historical builds, Workday limitations, dependencies, and downstream impacts before making changes. Optimize and consolidate reports, clean up dashboards and analytics assets, and improve reporting documentation and structure. Manage report sharing, ownership transfers, scheduling, distribution, and migration from sandbox to production. Validate report results and requester access using authorized proxy access, where available, and confirm the solution meets the requester's needs before closing requests. Review security groups, user security profiles, report audiences, and role-based versus individual sharing; coordinate with the security team when specialized support is needed. Support audit-related activities and help strengthen reporting governance, access practices, and distribution controls. Handle sensitive HR information, including home addresses, pay, and performance data-with care and appropriate access controls Manage competing priorities across a high volume of requests and collaborate with HR stakeholders and the Power BI team. Required Qualifications 5+ years of hands-on Workday reporting experience, with the ability to navigate a complex, established reporting environment. Advanced expertise developing Workday reports, with particular strength in Advanced Reports, plus experience building Matrix Reports, Composite Reports, Trending Reports, and Calculated Fields, including prompts and as-of dating. Experience creating and maintaining Workday Dashboards, Discovery Boards, and Worksheets, along with hands-on reporting governance experience. Strong understanding of Workday security and data access models. Strong command of the report lifecycle, including sharing, ownership, scheduling, sandbox-to-production migration, and requester-level testing. Strong HR functional knowledge across Talent Management, Compensation, Benefits, and Recruiting/Talent Acquisition, with the ability to address complex Compensation and Benefits reporting needs. Working knowledge of reporting across core HR and census, learning, time tracking and absence, payroll, and talent and succession. Strong Excel skills and the ability to calculate and validate headcount, tenure, and attrition metrics accurately. Experience gathering business requirements and translating them into reporting solutions, with excellent communication and collaboration skills. Strong organizational and documentation skills, with a disciplined approach to prioritization and follow-through. Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment. The investigative mindset to assess unfamiliar reporting assets, understand dependencies, and improve existing solutions rather than recreate them. Preferred Qualifications Workday Reporting Certification is strongly preferred. Power BI exposure and an understanding of how to collaborate effectively with a Power BI team. Experience using approved AI tools to improve efficiency and productivity in accordance with data privacy and security policies. Experience leading report consolidation or governance improvements within a large, established Workday environment. Why Consider This Role?
