Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Workday Staff Engineer to serve as Arrive's internal Workday authority. This is a hands-on technical configuration and solution architecture role — not product ownership or project management. The successful candidate will own best-practice standards across all Workday modules, drive cross-module impact analysis, and translate complex business outcomes into scalable, well-governed technical solutions. The role sits within IT & People Technology and works closely with People & Culture, Finance, and IT Security.

Key Responsibilities

• Configuration & Architecture: Own end-to-end technical configuration across HCM, Compensation, Advanced Compensation (Merit/ACR cycles), Benefits, Performance & Talent, Security, and Advanced Reporting.

• Integrations: Design, build, and maintain Workday integrations including EIBs, Workday Studio connectors, and middleware or API-based data flows. Monitor integration health across connected systems; triage errors, identify root causes, and engage the relevant business or technical owners for resolution.

• Solution Architecture: Act as internal Solution Architect — assessing downstream impact across all modules before any change is approved and deployed. Produce solution design documents, configuration rationale, and impact assessments for significant changes or new capability builds.

• Best Practice Ownership: Define and maintain Arrive's internal configuration guidelines for each Workday module, and apply Workday external best practices to resolve issues.

• Stakeholder Engagement & Business Translation: Translate business outcomes and people strategy goals into structured requirements, then into robust Workday configuration and solution designs. Partner closely with IT, People & Culture, Finance, and Security — operating as a trusted technical peer, not a vendor. Contribute to Arrive’s Workday product roadmap: surfacing relevant Workday enhancements, advising on what to prioritise and when, and ensuring new capability is shaped around people and business need rather than technical preference.
