• Lead Mass Data Changes (EIB): Own end-to-end execution of centralized updates using EIB—from intake and impact assessment to testing and deployment. Projects include reorganizations, cost center or location changes, store realignments, and more.
• Lead Data Audit Activities: Lead weekly and monthly data audits within Workday to ensure data integrity and accuracy.
• Shift from Reactive to Proactive: Design and implement alerts, notifications, and controls within Workday to identify and prevent issues before they occur.
• Drive Data Quality & Insights:
• Conduct regular audits to ensure data accuracy and compliance
• Identify trends and recommend improvements to reduce recurring issues
• Partner with HR Reporting to enhance audit reporting and insights
• Continuously Improve Processes: Evaluate current workflows and recommend enhancements to improve efficiency, scalability, and the overall employee experience.

• Support System Testing: Create and manage employee lifecycle transactions in test environments to support system enhancements and technology initiatives.
