Executive Partnership & Business Engagement

       Build and maintain trusted relationships with senior business leaders — the go-to resource for workforce data, people analytics, and HR systems questions at the executive level

       Translate complex data and system capabilities into clear, actionable insights for executive audiences; own the narrative around talent health

       Partner with HR Business Partners and business leaders to identify the analytical questions that matter most and build scalable answers

       Proactively surface insights to leadership — not waiting to be asked, but anticipating what leaders need to know before it becomes a problem

 

Talent Analytics Leadership

       Own and expand Enverus' Talent Analytics function to include the strategy, operating model, toolset, and team capability

       Build a suite of standard and self-service dashboards and reports that give HR and business leaders real-time visibility into workforce health, talent pipeline, attrition risk, and compensation equity

       Establish the data governance framework for people data — defining metrics, calculation standards, and data definitions that ensure consistency across all reporting

       Evolve Talent Analytics from descriptive reporting toward predictive and prescriptive capabilities; evaluate and implement analytics tools that extend Workday's native reporting where needed

 

Team Leadership

       Lead, develop, and grow a small team of HRIS and Talent Analytics professionals — setting clear expectations, building technical and analytical capability, and creating a culture of precision and service

       Model the quality and partnership standards that define how the HR Technology function operates; build the team structure needed to scale as Enverus' Workday footprint and analytics maturity grow

 

Competitive Candidate Profile

 

Workday & HRIS Experience

       8+ years of progressive HRIS and HR Technology experience, with a minimum of 5 recent years in a Workday-focused role spanning multiple modules

       Direct, hands-on experience owning or co-owning a full-cycle Workday implementation — from design and configuration through go-live and post-implementation stabilization

       Proven experience as a global Workday system owner post-implementation, responsible for ongoing configuration governance, data integrity, release management, and module optimization

       Strong functional depth across HCM, Payroll, Recruiting, Advanced Compensation, Workforce Planning, People Analytics, AI tools, Benefit Integrations and Absence

 

Change Management & Organizational Influence

       Demonstrated ability to help lead change management for a major HR technology transformation — the sustained adoption work that happens after go-live, not just launch communications

       Experience repositioning or rebranding an HR Systems or HRIS function within a broader HR organization — shifting how it is perceived and how it operates

       Track record of influencing senior stakeholders and executive leaders without direct authority, using data, credibility, and relationships to drive behavior change

       Proven ability to work across a complex, global organization spanning multiple geographies, employment models, and cultures

 

Analytics & Data Leadership

       Experience leading or building a Talent Analytics or People Analytics function — including defining metrics, establishing data governance, and developing reporting infrastructure

       Analytically credible: able to build, interpret, and present complex workforce data and translate it into executive-ready narrative and insight

       Hands-on experience with Workday reporting tools and at least one BI platform such as Power BI

       Strong grasp of people analytics domains: attrition and retention modeling, compensation equity, headcount planning, talent pipeline health, and workforce diversity metrics

 

Leadership & Communication

       2-5+ years of people management experience; track record of building and developing high-performing technical and analytical teams

       Executive-level communication skills — equally comfortable presenting to a CHRO and explaining a configuration decision to an analyst

Nice to have:

 

       Workday HCM or Payroll certification; Workday Reporting or People Analytics certification a plus

       Experience in the energy, SaaS, or data-intensive industry sectors

       Familiarity with Workday Extend or integration middleware (Workday Studio, Boomi, or equivalent)

       Experience designing and implementing competency-based performance or talent review frameworks within Workday
