Solution Architect - Workday Talent Technology

Netflix is a leading entertainment company dedicated to pushing the boundaries of storytelling through technology. The Solution Architect for Workday Talent Technology will design and deliver Workday solutions that enable critical people and talent decisions, collaborating with stakeholders to translate business needs into effective system designs.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end solutions
• Partner directly with Talent, Product, and cross-functional stakeholders to understand business objectives and translate them into system designs
• Independently lead medium-to-large features and workstreams, from discovery through deployment, and make sure they land with measurable business impact
• Configure and enhance Workday HCM functionality, making clear, opinionated tradeoffs between speed, simplicity, and flexibility and pushing back when complexity doesn’t pay off
• Conduct fit-gap analysis to identify where we adapt the business to Workday vs. where we extend Workday to meet critical needs; make those calls explicitly and defend them with data and logic
• Create and maintain clear solution designs, configuration logs, and documentation that make it easy for others to support and extend your work
• Collaborate with other team members to define mapping, scenarios, and testing for integrations between Workday and other systems, ensuring the end-to-end flow is successful
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues during implementation and post-go-live, focusing on root cause and preventing repeat problems
• Drive standards and continuous improvement
• Act as a Workday subject-matter expert by setting and evolving design patterns, configuration standards, and 'do/don’t' guidelines for the team
• Stay current on Workday releases, features, and industry practices; proactively propose improvements and be willing to deprecate legacy solutions that no longer make sense
• Contribute to continuous improvement of internal processes, tools, and methodologies to increase speed, quality, and learning for the broader team
• Avoid recreating legacy processes in Workday without questioning whether they still make sense
