• Triage Workday requests, gather requirements, clarify intended outcomes, resolve assigned issues, and partner with People team stakeholders on practical solutions
• Maintain support documentation and knowledge content, identify recurring issues and system gaps, and contribute to improvements in processes and the employee experience while following applicable security, access, and audit requirements
