Manager, People Systems (Workday)

At Justworks, People Systems are the foundation of exceptional employee experiences. Beyond tools, they’re enablers of a thriving, inclusive, and high-performing culture. As the Manager, People Systems (Workday) , you’ll lead the team responsible for shaping and scaling this infrastructure, delivering seamless, impactful solutions that make every interaction across the employee lifecycle - feel intuitive and empowering.

Over the 12-18mo, we’ve rolled out the core Workday modules (Core HCM, Advanced Compensation, and Payroll) and are now entering an exciting new chapter. We’ve expanded our ecosystem to include tools like Peakon, Sana, and Talent Optimization, while continuing to invest in world-class peripheral platforms that support our Justworkers - such as our ATS (Greenhouse). Your work will be pivotal in optimizing, integrating, and evolving these systems to unlock new value across the business.

You are both a systems thinker and a people-first leader. You bring depth in Workday configuration and governance, paired with an ability to understand user needs and simplify the complex. You see systems as powerful levers to automate, connect, and elevate how we work. You understand that when systems work well, managers lead better, employees thrive, and the People team scales with impact.

Most of all, you’re energized by what comes next: leading with AI, simplifying workflows, unlocking automation and building the infrastructure that enables data-driven, meaningful experiences and moments that matter - for every Justworker.
