Kyriba is a global fintech leader empowering CFOs and finance teams with cloud-based treasury, payments, and risk management solutions. We serve 3,000+ customers worldwide, managing $15 trillion in payments annually and helping businesses optimize liquidity performance across the enterprise.


We're on a mission to become the most sought-after cloud technology company globally.  We think big, innovate relentlessly, and challenge the status quo every day.

The opportunity

We’re seeking a Workday HCM specialist focused on Recruiting, Performance, and Talent to elevate Kyriba’s candidate and employee experience. You will help develop the roadmap and own the configuration, reporting, and release management for these modules while providing first-line functional support across the broader HCM suite. As our primary team member in the EMEA time zone, you’ll provide critical coverage for global operations and partner closely with our HR teams and IT to deliver scalable, compliant, and user-friendly solutions.

What you’ll do

  • Product ownership: Act as the primary HRIS partner and SME for Workday Recruiting, Performance, and Talent (including Skills and Career Hub); align roadmaps to stakeholder priorities.

  • Process design and optimization: Lead discovery, design, and continuous improvement of TA and Talent processes to increase efficiency, data quality, and user experience.

  • Cycle management: Orchestrate end-to-end execution of cyclical programs (Annual Performance Reviews, Mid-Year Check-ins, Talent Reviews, Goal/Objective setting).

  • System configuration: Configure, test, validate, and deploy changes to business processes, security, custom organizations, calculated fields, and functional settings.

  • Support and operations: Own a shared caseload of HCM tickets; troubleshoot issues from complex BP logic to data corrections; document resolutions and preventive measures.

  • Release management: Evaluate Workday releases for Recruiting/Performance/Talent; prioritize, regression test, and deploy features with clear change communications and training.

  • Reporting and analytics: Build and maintain reports and dashboards that deliver actionable hiring and talent insights.

  • Data integrity, security, and compliance: Uphold GDPR and audit requirements; ensure appropriate security roles, data quality, and governance

  • Enablement: Develop training materials and deliver sessions for recruiters, managers, and HR stakeholders; champion adoption through intuitive design and feedback loops.

  • Partnership: Collaborate with HR and IT on integrations (e.g., job boards, background checks, scheduling, onboarding) and cross-functional initiatives.

What you’ll bring

Required

  • 4+ years of Workday HCM experience, including hands-on ownership of Recruiting, Performance and Talent (Skills, Career Hub).

  • Demonstrated expertise in business process configuration, calculated fields, and custom reporting; strong testing discipline and documentation.

  • Experience supporting cyclical performance/talent processes at global scale;

  • Familiarity with GDPR and audit requirements.

  • Analytical rigor with the ability to translate business questions into dashboards and insights  (e.g., time-to-fill, funnel conversion, internal mobility, completion rates).

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across regions/time zones; ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.

Preferred

  • Workday certifications in HCM, Recruiting, or Talent.

  • Experience with integrations and data loads (EIB, Core Connectors, APIs) supporting TA/Talent ecosystems.

  • Background in high-growth SaaS or global, matrixed environments.

How we work and grow
