Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. ŌURA is a health technology company whose products help people understand and improve their sleep, activity, and readiness. The Senior HRIS Analyst will serve as the hands-on Workday technical expert, owning business process configuration, testing, deployment, security, reporting, integrations, and continuous optimization in partnership with HR, IT, Payroll, Legal, and business stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Configure, test, and deploy Workday business processes (e.g., hire, job changes, compensation, terminations, absence, performance) end-to-end, including conditional rules, routing, notifications, and approval chains
- Continuously evaluate how Oura uses its People Systems (e.g., Workday, and other HR/talent tools) and identify opportunities to simplify, automate, and improve configuration so these systems fit our real workflows rather than forcing workarounds
- Design and refine self-service workflows, forms, and notifications so that everyday tasks — from onboarding to time off to org changes — feel simple and intuitive for employees and managers, and HR
- Maintain and audit Workday security groups, domain and business process security policies, and role-based access to ensure data is accurate, compliant, and appropriately restricted
- Build and execute test scripts for new configurations, tenant updates, and Workday's biannual releases; manage regression testing and coordinate UAT with HR and business stakeholders
- Build and maintain custom reports, calculated fields, and dashboards that give HR and business leaders reliable, timely insight into their people data
- Partner with IT and implementation partners on EIBs, Core Connectors, and third-party integrations (payroll, benefits, ATS, etc.), troubleshooting data issues as they arise
- Maintain clear configuration documentation and job aids, and train HR team members and people managers on new functionality and process changes
- Work closely with HR Ops, HRBPs, Payroll, IT, and Legal to ensure Workday configuration supports compliant, scalable people processes across all of Oura's locations
- Oura is growing and changing quickly; this role will evolve as the company and our Workday tenant mature
Skills
- 5+ years of hands-on Workday HCM administration/configuration experience, including business process framework, calculated fields, and condition rules
- Demonstrated ability to independently configure, test, and deploy changes across Workday tenants (sandbox/preview/production) following proper change management practices
- Solid understanding of Workday security model (security groups, domain/business process policies) and comfort auditing and remediating access
- Experience supporting Workday releases, including regression testing and coordinating UAT with business stakeholders
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to translate ambiguous business requests into clean, well-documented system configuration
- A genuine focus on end-user experience — you think about how a change will feel to an employee or manager, not just whether it's technically correct
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical configuration in plain language to non-technical stakeholders
- Comfort operating with a good degree of independence in a fast-moving, still-maturing HRIS environment
- This job involves regular interaction and collaboration with Oura colleagues in Finland, across the US, and in other countries
- For this role, applicants should expect regular meetings between the hours of 6 AM and 9 AM Pacific, and be open to occasional meetings even earlier, or sometimes, very late in the evening Pacific time
- Occasional travel to Finland, once or twice a year, is also expected for this role
- We are not considering candidates residing in the following states: Alaska (AK), Delaware (DE), Iowa (IA), Mississippi (MS), Nebraska (NE), South Dakota (SD), West Virginia (WV), and Wisconsin (WI)
- Workday Pro certification(s) (HCM, Core Compensation, Absence, Reporting, or similar)
- Experience with Workday Studio, EIBs, or other integration tooling
- Experience configuring Workday reporting (custom reports, calculated fields, dashboards) or Workday Prism
- Experience supporting a global or multi-country Workday tenant (e.g., US, UK, Finland, Singapore, and more)
- Experience with a greenfield Workday implementation or major HRIS migration
