Make your next move into a role where better people systems improve work for everyone. As our Senior HRIS Analyst, you’ll shape how Workday supports colleagues across Skipton, turning complex needs into simple, secure solutions.
This is a 12 month fixed term maternity cover opportunity, with the possibility of extension. We’re looking for someone to join us from January 2027 and take a lead role in some of our most important Workday areas, particularly Security and Integrations, working closely with our Technology teams, as well as our annual pay, merit and bonus processes in partnership with Reward.
You’ll still have the opportunity to work broadly across Workday, using your HR systems experience to improve processes, solve problems and support change across the People function. It’s a role with real ownership, but also plenty of collaboration with colleagues across People, Reward and Technology.
At Skipton, our work has purpose. As a mutual, we focus on doing right by our members and our people. We value different views and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds and career paths.
At Skipton, we're founded on fairness. We exist to do right by our members - and we believe that starts with doing right by our people. So whoever you are and whatever you bring, there's a place for you here and a genuine plan for where you go next.

Your key responsibilities will include:
Take the lead for Workday Security and Integrations within HRIS, partnering with Technology teams to deliver secure, reliable and well-designed solutions.
Lead the HRIS delivery of our annual pay, merit and bonus processes, working closely with Reward to configure, test and successfully deliver key annual activity.
Configure and improve Workday across a range of functional areas, working with People teams and business partners.
Translate business requirements into practical system solutions, taking changes through design, configuration, testing and implementation.
Keep people data accurate and secure, with appropriate governance and access controls.
Troubleshoot complex system issues and work with technical and functional specialists to resolve them.
Build useful reports and insight using Workday and Power BI.
Test Workday releases and new features and support safe, well-planned changes.
Identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve the colleague experience and get more value from Workday.
What You’ll Need
Strong HRIS administration experience, with hands-on Workday experience preferred
A sound understanding of HR processes, system configuration and reporting
Experience in HRIS security, integrations or compensation processes, with an interest in developing your knowledge across these areas.
Experience of system changes, testing and putting new features into use
Good analytical skills and a clear, practical approach to solving problems
Confidence working with people at different levels and explaining technical points simply
Care with detail, data quality, privacy and access controls
The ability to balance support work with planned improvements across several priorities
