Job Title: ERP Business Systems Analyst (Workday / UKG)

Location: Remote
Employment Type: Direct Hire
Compensation: $85k-125k

Overview

We are seeking an experienced ERP Business Analyst to support and optimize enterprise HR and payroll systems, with a focus on Workday and UKG. This role sits at the intersection of business operations and IT, driving system enhancements, configuration changes, and cross-functional alignment across HR, Payroll, Finance, and Materials Management.

We are open to:

  • Senior-Level Analyst with deep expertise across both Workday and UKG, or
  • Mid-Level Analysts specializing in either Workday (HR-focused) or UKG (Payroll-focused)

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with HR, Payroll, Finance/AP, and Materials Management teams to gather requirements and translate them into system configurations
  • Lead and coordinate cross-functional meetings related to system updates, enhancements, and ongoing initiatives
  • Configure and optimize Workday (HR-focused) and/or UKG (Payroll-focused) systems
  • Support system upgrades, enhancements, and continuous improvement efforts
  • Manage and fulfill service requests (enhancements, updates, and changes), with minimal focus on break/fix support
  • Analyze current processes and recommend improvements to increase system efficiency and performance
  • Serve as a liaison between business stakeholders and technical teams
  • Drive optimization efforts, particularly within UKG as the platform continues to mature in the environment

What You’ll Be Doing (Time Breakdown)

  • ~50%: Cross-functional coordination, system updates, and stakeholder communication across HR, Payroll, and related departments
  • 25–30%: Handling service requests (enhancements, changes, and optimizations—not incident response)
  • Remainder: System configuration, process improvements, and upgrade support

Required Qualifications

  • Experience as a Business Analyst, ERP Analyst, or Applications Analyst within enterprise systems
  • Strong hands-on experience with:
    • Workday (HR module, technical configuration preferred)
    • UKG (Payroll configuration; not focused on advanced scheduling)
  • Demonstrated ability to perform technical configuration, not just functional/business-side support
  • Experience working across multiple business domains (HR, Payroll, Finance, etc.)
  • Strong communication skills with experience leading cross-functional discussions
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and drive system improvements in a fast-paced environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting both Workday and UKG 
  • Background in ERP environments that include Finance/AP and Materials Management
  • Experience in system optimization and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Familiarity with organizations early in their UKG implementation lifecycle (e.g., within first 1–2 years)

What We’re Looking For

  • A technically strong Business Analyst who can go beyond gathering requirements and actively configure systems
  • Someone who thrives in an optimization-focused environment rather than reactive support
  • A professional comfortable working across multiple departments and business functions
  • Ideally, a Workday + UKG expert in HR/Payroll, though strong specialists will also be considered
