Senior Business Systems Analyst (Workday, Reporting & Analytics)
About the role
Who We Are
At Justworks, you’ll enjoy a welcoming and casual environment, great benefits, wellness program offerings, company retreats, and the ability to interact with and learn from leaders in the startup community. We work hard and care about our most prized asset - our people.
We’re helping businesses get off the ground by enabling them to focus on running their business. We solve HR issues. We’re data-driven and never stop iterating. If you’d like to work in a supportive, entrepreneurial environment, are interested in building something meaningful and having fun while doing it, we’d love to hear from you.
We're united by shared goals and shared motivations at Justworks. These are best summed up in our company values, which are reflected in our product and in our team.
Who You Are
We're looking for a Senior Business Systems Analyst to own and evolve our people reporting and analytics capability — turning Workday data into insights that help our leaders make better, faster decisions. Working as a member of the People Systems team, you'll partner closely with People Operations, Finance, Talent, and senior leadership to design and deliver reporting solutions that are accurate, scalable, and genuinely useful.
You will be the functional subject matter expert for Workday Reporting, People Analytics, responsible for building and maintaining our core reporting layer, driving data quality, and enabling self-service across the business.
You have a passion for people data and a strong belief that good reporting changes how organisations operate. You're the person who looks at a spreadsheet someone built manually every month and immediately thinks about how to automate it. You're detail-oriented, curious, and care as much about whether a report is actually used as whether it's technically correct.
As part of Justworks, the People Systems team is charged with delivering an amazing employee experience and ensuring our People & Talent systems, tools, and processes support our growing people and business needs. You will play a critical role in making our people data trustworthy, accessible, and actionable — so that HR leadership and business partners can self-serve confidently without raising a ticket every month.
