Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This People Systems Analyst position sits at a common inflection point for scaling SaaS companies: when HR operations move from workable processes to durable systems. With Workday at the center, the remit spans time, absence, and payroll configuration that supports a distributed workforce and multi-country operating model, a pattern increasingly typical of software businesses serving global customers.
From a SaaS career perspective, the role builds a strong foundation in operational scalability and data integrity, two themes that recur across high-performing SaaS organizations. Owning configuration, integrations, and reporting creates experience that translates across companies that rely on Workday to connect People Ops, Finance, Payroll, and Legal. Release-cycle management and regression testing also mirror the disciplined change management expected in software environments, even when the “product” is internal systems.
The role is best suited to professionals who prefer hands-on system work paired with stakeholder partnership, and who enjoy turning policy into reliable workflows. It will fit someone comfortable navigating ambiguity across geographies and vendors, and who values being accountable for accuracy, compliance readiness, and employee-facing system usability in a remote-first context.

Manage Workday integrations with Payroll and Finance systems
Partner cross-functionally with People Ops, Total Rewards, Payroll, Finance, Legal, and IT to gather requirements, design scalable processes, and deliver system solutions aligned with business needs.
