Position summary
We are hiring for a Workday Administrator who will focus on Integrations, Studio & Projects: own integrations, Studio development, and the Projects module.
This Administrator will partner closely with other Workday Administrators and the HCM Manager to translate approved architectural and business decisions into working Workday configuration, and to keep Nava's Workday environment reliable, audit-ready, and continuously improving. Success in either role requires more than responding to tickets, we're looking for people who proactively identify data quality issues, process gaps, and configuration or integration improvements within their area, and escalate changes that impact core architecture.
What you'll do
- Build and configure Business Processes (BPs), condition rules, and notifications within the architectural standards set by the HCM Manager
- Administer approved Workday security changes, including role- and user-based security groups, domain and business process security; perform periodic access reviews and escalate exceptions to the HCM Manager
- Build and maintain standard and custom reports, calculated fields, and dashboards for day-to-day operational needs
- Perform recurring data audits, validation, and reconciliation across Workday and connected systems; investigate discrepancies and remediate data quality issues
- Support data loads (EIBs) and mass data updates, following data standards set by the HCM Manager
- Monitor Workday releases and delivered functionality; perform impact analysis, configuration and regression testing, and coordinate UAT
- Provide first-line technical support, troubleshooting, and end-user training/job aids for the teams in their functional area
- Own day-to-day Workday incidents and service requests within their area from intake through resolution; triage by severity and business impact
- Support internal and external audit requests related to Workday configuration, access, reports, integrations, and HR data
Integrations, Studio & Projects
- Monitor and support inbound and outbound Workday integrations, including EIBs, Core Connectors, Studio integrations, APIs/Web Services, scheduled file feeds, and vendor interfaces
- Build and maintain Workday Studio integrations; partner with IT and third-party vendors on integration troubleshooting and root-cause analysis
- Serve as lead administrator for the Workday Projects module (Finance SKU), configuring Business Processes, security, and reporting to support Staffing and Program Management
- Make recommendations about additional Workday SKUs or Projects features Nava could invest in
Additionally, for Integrations, Studio & Projects
- Hands-on experience with Workday Studio and integration development (EIBs, Core Connectors, APIs/Web Services)
- Ability and willingness to learn and administer the Projects module within the Finance SKU
- Experience with system integrations and API management
Required skills
- Minimum 3–5 years of hands-on Workday administration experience
- Workday certification in HCM
- Demonstrated ability to build reports and configure Business Processes across multiple Workday modules
- Experience with data loads (EIBs) and data migration
- Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills
- Ability to execute effectively within an established architecture/governance framework, and escalate appropriately to the HCM Manager
- Excellent communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences
- Experience with agile project methodologies
Preferred skills
- Workday Pro or Workday Partner Certifications relevant to the role's focus area
- Hands-on experience developing advanced reports, calculated fields, and dashboards; RaaS experience a plus (Payroll/Benefits/Talent focus)
- Experience integrating Workday with third-party enterprise systems (Integrations/Studio/Projects focus)
- Experience in a high-growth or consulting environment
All roles at Nava require the following:
- Legally authorized to work in the United States
- Ability to meet any other requirements for government contracts for which candidates are hired
- Work authorization that doesn’t require visa sponsorship, now or in the future
- May be subject to a government background check or security clearance, depending on the contract

Nava PBC
View Company ProfileNava PBC is a pioneering civic tech consultancy and Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) fiercely dedicated to radically improving how the government serves its people. Founded in 2015 by the elite team of engineers and designers who famously rescued HealthCare.gov from its disastrous launch, the company is headquartered in Washington, D.C. Under the hood, Nava fundamentally transforms massive, deeply fragile legacy government IT infrastructures into modern, resilient, and highly scalable digital services. They partner actively with federal, state, and local agencies to architect high-stakes, life-changing systems covering Medicare, unemployment benefits, and veteran services. Their primary target audience spans progressive government agencies and public sector leaders who urgently need to bridge the massive gap between archaic bureaucratic workflows and modern, agile software development. What sets Nava apart in the multi-billion dollar GovTech contracting landscape is its uncompromising, mission-driven ethos—operating strictly as a public benefit corporation, they prioritize long-term social impact, equity, and extreme accessibility over purely extractive profit margins, proving that public sector technology can actually be fast, reliable, and deeply empathetic.
