We are determined to support both individuals and communities in reaching a better financial future.  We know that reaching this future depends on our actions today.

Like our Purpose Statement, Voya believes in being bold and committed to action.  We are committed to a work environment where the differences that we are born with — and those we acquire throughout our lives — are understood, valued and intentionally pursued. We believe that our employees own our culture and have a responsibility to foster an environment where we all feel comfortable bringing our whole selves to work. Purposefully bringing our differences together to positively influence our culture, serve our clients and enrich our communities is essential to our vision.

Workday Extend AI Analyst

Get to Know the Opportunity:  

The Workday Extend AI Analyst will help build the next generation of Voya’s People Systems, with Workday as the core system of record and AI agents, Workday Extend, low-code solutions, and intelligent automation as the experience and execution layer.

This role combines hands-on Workday configuration with AI and agent development, workflow automation, solution engineering, and product-oriented delivery. The analyst will help evolve traditional HR technology support into a more proactive model focused on intelligent experiences, scalable automation, and measurable business outcomes.

The successful candidate will partner with HR stakeholders, People Systems, technology teams, and business leaders to identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve employee and manager experiences, and deliver solutions that can scale across the employee lifecycle.

• Build and tune Workday-native agents and intelligent experiences that operate within Workday security and business processes.
• Develop solutions using Workday Extend, Workday Build, Developer Agent, and other emerging Workday platform capabilities.
• Support agent orchestration, knowledge retrieval, workflow execution, monitoring, and ongoing optimization.
• Help establish reusable patterns, standards, inventory, and governance for HR agents and AI-enabled solutions.
• Evaluate where Workday-native agents, Microsoft Copilot, or other enterprise technologies are the best fit based on the business need.

Workday Configuration & Platform Ownership

• Configure and support Workday across areas such as Core HCM, Performance, Recruiting, Learning, Talent, Reporting, or related capabilities.
• Translate business needs into scalable Workday configurations and platform solutions rather than one-time fixes.
• Support Workday releases, testing, production deployments, security considerations, and change initiatives.
• Leverage APIs, integrations, data services, and Workday orchestration capabilities to connect processes and enable intelligent automation.
• Partner across functional and technical teams to ensure solutions are supportable, secure, and aligned with enterprise standards.

Process Transformation & Intelligent Automation

• Analyze HR processes and identify opportunities to simplify, automate, or redesign work before introducing new technology.
• Design end-to-end digital workflows across the employee lifecycle.
• Reduce manual activities through agents, low-code solutions, workflow orchestration, and automation.
• Help transition operational work toward agent-assisted processing, proactive monitoring, and exception-based support.
• Use data and process insights to continuously improve employee, manager, and HR experiences.

Product & Solution Delivery

• Partner with business stakeholders to define requirements, priorities, roadmaps, and expected outcomes.
• Facilitate discovery sessions and solution design workshops.
• Lead assigned solutions from concept and prototype through testing, deployment, adoption, and ongoing optimization.
• Document solutions so they can be maintained and supported across the team.
• Measure adoption, effectiveness, efficiency gains, and business value after implementation.

AI Governance & Responsible Delivery

• Support AI governance, security, privacy, risk, and compliance requirements.
• Ensure solutions respect Workday and enterprise security models and provide users only the information and actions appropriate to their access.
• Participate in reviews and approvals required for new AI capabilities.
• Monitor deployed agents and automations for quality, usage, exceptions, and opportunities for improvement.

Minimum Knowledge & Experience:

• 5+ years of experience supporting HR technology, Workday, or enterprise business applications.
• Hands-on experience gathering requirements, configuring systems, and delivering technology solutions.
• Experience with HR business processes and translating business needs into scalable solutions.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and stakeholder-partnership skills.
• Ability and interest to learn emerging AI, low-code, and Workday platform capabilities quickly.

Preferred Knowledge & Experience:

• Experience configuring one or more Workday functional areas such as Core HCM, Performance, Talent, Learning, or Reporting.
• Experience with Workday Extend, Workday Build, Developer Agent, Orchestrate, or Workday AI capabilities.
• Experience with Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Power Apps, or other low-code and agent-development platforms.
• Experience designing AI agents, workflow automation, or intelligent self-service experiences.
• Knowledge of APIs, integrations, security, data services, and enterprise architecture concepts.
