Senior People Systems & Integrations Analyst

About the Team

The People Operations and Technology team at Chainalysis is focused on building a seamless, scalable, and data-driven employee experience. We sit at the intersection of People Operations, Technology, and Analytics, enabling the business through thoughtful system design, automation, and insights.

Our mission is simple: make it easy for employees, managers, and leaders to get what they need, when they need it, through intuitive systems and reliable data. We’re increasingly leveraging AI and intelligent automation to eliminate manual work, accelerate decision-making, and reimagine how the People team delivers value at scale.

We partner closely with teams across People, Talent Acquisition, Finance, and BizTech to ensure our people technology ecosystem, anchored by Workday, is efficient, integrated, and continuously evolving.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Techno-Functional People Technology Analyst to own and evolve our people technology ecosystem with a strong focus on Workday configuration, integrations, and cross-system workflows.

This is a dual-focused role (approximately 60% functional, 40% technical) where you’ll operate across both system configuration and integration design, helping ensure our tools work seamlessly together while delivering a high-quality user experience.

We are open to candidates who are particularly strong on the functional Workday side and demonstrate a genuine willingness and ability to develop their technical integration skills. You will receive knowledge transfer and training on our integration environment, including support from internal Workday experts and Workday Learning/Success Plan resources. However, you will ultimately be responsible for owning and supporting Workday integrations within the People Technology team.

As our team expands its use of AI-driven tools and workflow automation, you’ll be expected to evaluate emerging capabilities, identify use cases for AI within our people technology ecosystem, and help us move from manual processes to intelligent, automated solutions.

This is a high-visibility role with room to grow – you’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of People Technology at Chainalysis and build expertise at the intersection of HR systems, automation, and AI.

You’ll play a critical role in:

- Evolving our integration architecture across the People Technology ecosystem

- Advancing our automation and AI strategy within People Operations

- Bridging the gap between business stakeholders and technical delivery

- Taking ownership of the Workday integration landscape and developing the technical expertise required to support it effectively

If you enjoy connecting systems, solving messy process problems, and owning outcomes end-to-end, this role is for you.

In this role, you’ll:

- Own end-to-end delivery of enhancements across Workday and the broader People Tech stack, ensuring scalable and high-quality solutions

- Configure and maintain Workday HCM (business processes, security, notifications, and reporting) across key employee lifecycle processes

- Partner with stakeholders across People, Talent Acquisition, Finance, and BizTech to translate business needs into effective system solutions

- Identify and implement opportunities to improve automation – including AI-assisted workflows – to enhance data integrity, reduce manual effort, and elevate the user experience across People systems

- Ensure seamless interoperability across People systems (e.g., Workday, Adaptive, Ashby, payroll providers), optimizing end-to-end workflows

- Develop, build, and maintain integrations between Workday and external systems, with the expectation that you will become the primary internal owner for Workday integrations

- Work closely with internal Workday experts to build your integration knowledge and leverage available Workday training and Success Plan resources

- Design, build, and maintain integrations between Workday and external systems, exploring AI and automation tools (e.g., Workato, AI-powered bots) to streamline data flows

- Monitor integration health, troubleshoot issues, and perform root cause analysis to ensure reliability

- Support workforce planning and headcount data flows, particularly between Workday and Adaptive

- Support testing efforts for new functionality and product releases, ensuring smooth and controlled deployments

- Maintain clear documentation and establish best practices for system governance, change management, and ongoing support

- Stay current on AI and automation trends in the HR Technology space, proactively recommending tools and approaches that can improve team efficiency and employee experience

We’re looking for candidates who have:

- 4–6 years of experience working with Workday HCM in a functional or techno-functional capacity

- Strong hands-on experience with Workday configuration, particularly business processes, security, reporting, and notifications

- A solid understanding of Workday integrations and a genuine interest in developing deeper technical integration expertise. Candidates do not need to be an expert in every integration technology from day one.

- Experience or familiarity with Workday integration technologies such as EIB, RaaS, Core Connectors, Studio, APIs, or similar

- Experience working cross-functionally – bridging functional stakeholders (People, Finance, Payroll, BizTech) and technical implementation teams

- Understanding of APIs, data flows, and integration patterns

- The ability and willingness to take ownership of integration troubleshooting and support, including investigating issues and performing root cause analysis

- Familiarity with automation/iPaaS platforms (e.g., Workato) and comfort working with AI-powered tools, with a willingness to experiment as the technology evolves

- Strong ability to translate technical concepts into clear, non-technical language

- Comfortable owning projects e
