On Principal Workday Integration Architect (AI & Automation)

On is in a state of fast growth, and our Talent team is at the heart of it all. We’re expanding to build the teams that will shape On’s future, and we’re looking for a Senior Lead - Integrations and Automation to serve as the master architect of our Workday data ecosystem. This is a high-impact technical leadership role. You will be responsible for the "circulatory system" of our people data, ensuring that our global systems talk to each other seamlessly while pioneering the use of AI and Agentic workflows to automate the mundane and elevate the human. We aren't looking for a standard developer; we need a technical visionary who can leverage Workday Studio and Orchestration to build robust, scalable infrastructures. If you are a builder who loves complex logic and believes that the next frontier of HR lies at the intersection of deep tech and AI, this is your chance to make a global impact.

Your Mission

• You will architect the integration landscape: You will lead the design, development, and maintenance of complex, end-to-end integrations using Workday Studio, Workday Orchestrations, EIBs, and Cloud Connect (incl. Global Payroll Connect). You ensure our data flows are secure, resilient, and high-performing across our global HR tech stack.
• You will be a pioneer for AI and Agentic workflows: You have a deep interest in how AI can transform HR. You will explore and implement intelligent automations that go beyond simple data transfers, creating "smart" workflows that can reason and act autonomously within our ecosystem.
• You will bridge Workday and Google: You will build out our partnership with our IT team and partner with them to use Google to further drive innovation, with a specific focus on how Google Vertex AI can be applied to HR data to unlock advanced automation.
• You will set the technical standards: As a Senior Lead, you will define our integration standards, conduct rigorous code reviews. You will translate business ambitions into "brilliant" technical reality, managing expectations with senior stakeholders across IT and Talent.
• Understanding of Talent processes - especially within Retail (Payroll, Recruitment, Onboarding, Learning etc.)

Your Story

• A proven track record of 5-7+ years in Workday integrations, with expert-level proficiency in Workday Studio (experience with Java, XSLT, HTML is essential); any other programming experience is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience with Workday Orchestrations is a significant plus. A deep technical interest in AI/ML; hands-on experience or an understanding of Google Vertex AI and how to apply it to enterprise workflows is beneficial.
• The ability to thrive in a global environment, which includes working flexibly across timezones to collaborate with our North American teams (specifically PST).
• A solutions-architect mindset. You don't just fix bugs; you diagnose root causes and build sustainable, automated systems that scale.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical architectures to non-technical partners and lead high-stakes technical projects.
