WHAT YOU’LL DO
Braze is in the midst of an exciting evolution of our HR technology ecosystem, and we’re looking for a Senior People Systems Analyst to help lead the charge. Sitting within the People Operations team and reporting to the Manager of People Systems, this role plays a critical part in optimizing our global HR systems, primarily Workday, and driving forward our people data strategy. You’ll be hands-on with system configuration, lead key projects, and partner cross-functionally to deliver smart, scalable solutions that support a growing global workforce.
Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with People Systems Analysts to enhance and optimize Workday functionality and implement solutions that improve usability and adoption
- Partner with stakeholders to gather requirements, propose scalable system solutions, and lead the end-to-end implementation process
- Configure and maintain Workday modules, including Business Processes, calculated fields, condition rules, and security groups
- Build and maintain advanced Workday reports and dashboards, enabling data-driven decisions across the People team and broader organization

- Collaborate with external vendors and internal partners to manage integrations, data quality, and system access management
WHO YOU ARE
You’re a detail-obsessed systems thinker with a passion for people tech. You know how to break down complex challenges, design scalable solutions, and translate business needs into thoughtful configuration. You’re as comfortable in a Workday sandbox as you are partnering with stakeholders or presenting data-driven insights. You’re looking to make a tangible impact in a fast-moving environment with a team that values curiosity, clarity, and continuous improvement.
Requirements:
- 3 to 5 years of experience in People Systems or HR Operations, with 2 to 3 years of direct Workday configuration experience
