Oura is implementing Workday as our core HRIS, and we're looking for a Senior HRIS Analyst, Workday Administrator to be the hands-on technical expert who keeps the system running well and keeps improving it. Reporting to the VP, HR Operations, this role owns the configuration, testing, and deployment of Workday business processes and is the go-to person for turning HR and business requirements into reliable, well-built solutions in the system. You'll partner closely with HR, IT, Payroll, and business stakeholders to optimize Workday for Oura's specific use cases, and you'll care as much about the day-to-day experience of employees, managers, and the HR team as you do about the technical build behind it.
This job involves regular interaction and collaboration with Oura colleagues in Finland, across the US, and in other countries. Finland is in the Eastern European Time Zone, which is 10 hours ahead of US Pacific Time; for example, 7 AM in San Francisco is 5 PM in Finland. Standard office hours in Finland are 9 AM to 5 PM. 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.

People Systems Optimization: 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.

Security & Data Governance: 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.
