Workday HR Technology Specialist - Remote
Location: Germany (Remote)
Type: Full-time, permanent
We are working with a large organisation, with operations spanning more than 50 countries, that is strengthening its internal HR Technology capability post-Workday implementation.
As part of this continued investment, the company is hiring a Workday HR Technology Specialist to drive hands-on improvements across HCM, Absence, and Advanced Compensation (Other modules also of interest).
Following a successful global rollout of Workday HCM, the current priority is to stabilise, localise, and scale the platform across regions, while laying the groundwork for new modules.
This is a critical hire within a tight-knit HRIS function; you’ll be trusted to shape system design, liaise directly with HR, Reward and Payroll leads, and play an active role in defining what “good” looks like across European Workday operations.
Key Responsibilities
* Own configuration and continuous improvement across multiple Workday modules: Core HCM, Absence, and Advanced Compensation
* Act as functional SME for German Workday localisation — including Time Off policies, accrual rules, sick leave, public holidays, and local pay rules
* Partner with HR Business Partners, Payroll, and Shared Services to identify pain points and drive automation or process fixes
* Build and maintain Business Processes, security groups, calculated fields, and condition rules
* Lead or support Workday bi-annual release testing, ensuring new features are validated, adopted, and properly documented
* Contribute to module roadmap planning, including Talent, Performance, and advanced analytics
* Assist in user enablement: training documentation, FAQs, and workshops for non-technical users
* Liaise with external vendors and Workday support for issue resolution where needed
Your Profile
* 3–5+ years of direct, hands-on Workday configuration experience
* Solid understanding of German labour law, particularly around leave types, working time compliance, and data protection
* Confident working with Workday’s security framework and calculated field logic
* Ability to interpret business needs and translate them into clear technical specifications
* Strong communication skills, you’ll regularly interface with non-technical HR and Payroll stakeholders

Why Apply?
* Not just a ticket-taker: You’ll own domains, influence design decisions, and have a direct impact on how Workday evolves across Europe
* Trusted team with leadership buy-in: Workday is seen as a strategic platform, not just a back-office tool
* Opportunity to work on upcoming modules and innovation projects
* Competitive salary and benefits package, with flexibility and career growth built-in
* Stable, values-led company with real investment in people and technology
