The opportunity
Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers.
What you'll do
Implementation: Serve as the functional lead for Payroll, Time Tracking, and Absence in our Workday implementation: drive design sessions, own configuration decisions, build and test the tenant alongside our implementation partner, and sign off on readiness for cutover, parallel testing, and hypercare.
US Payroll Configuration: Configure and maintain Workday Payroll for US & Canada employees: pay groups, earnings and deductions, pay component groups, federal, state, and local tax setup, garnishments, payroll accounting, and period-end and year-end processing (W-2s, quarterly filings) with our tax filing provider.
International Payroll: Design and operate the flow between Workday and our international payroll providers (Workday Global Payroll Connect or PECI/PICOF-based integrations): payroll input files, results return, GL posting, and reconciliation for each country we operate in.
Time Tracking: Configure Time Tracking for hourly and non-exempt populations, including work schedules, time entry codes, time calculations (overtime, meal and rest break compliance, shift differentials), approvals, and state-specific rules.
Absence : Build and maintain Absence plans across US and international: populations: flexible PTO, sick leave accruals by jurisdiction, statutory leave, and leave-of-absence types with the right eligibility, accrual, carryover, and payout rules.
Integrations & Data: Own the payroll-adjacent integration footprint (benefits carriers, 401k, tax filing, equity compensation, GL to NetSuite) and the data validation that keeps Workday, payroll results, and the general ledger in agreement.
What they're looking for
- Payroll Operations Partnership: Partner with Payroll Operations and Accounting on every payroll cycle: retro calculations, off-cycle payments, pre- and post-payroll audits, and root-cause analysis when results don't match expectations.
- Compliance & Controls: Design payroll processes and Workday security so they satisfy SOX ITGC and payroll control requirements: segregation of duties, approval workflows, audit trails, and evidence capture. Support internal and external audit requests.
- Releases & Roadmap: Stay current on Workday's semi-annual releases, assess impact on Payroll, Time tracking, and Absence, run regression testing, and adopt new functionality that removes manual work.
- Enablement : Write the documentation, train HR, managers, and Payroll on how: these modules work, and build the reports and dashboards that let the business self-serve.
