Refactor inefficient calculated fields or join logic.</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Capacity Governance:</b><span> specific management of </span><b>Prism Storage Capacity</b><span>. Implement data retention policies, archive obsolete datasets, and optimize row counts to remain within licensed limits.</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Change Management:</b><span> Perform impact analysis on Prism datasets during bi-annual Workday releases. Ensure that changes to Core Workday objects do not break downstream Prism mappings.</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Incident Resolution:</b><span> Serve as the Tier 2/3 support point for "Data Discrepancy" tickets, investigating root causes where reported numbers in Prism do not match source systems.</span></b></p></li></ul><p><b><span>Qualifications</span></b></p><p><b><span>Mandatory Education & Certifications</span></b></p><ul><li><p><b><b>Workday Certification:</b><span> Active </span><b>Workday Prism Analytics</b><span> certification (Pro or Implementer) is strictly required.</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Education:</b><span> Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Analytics, or related field (or equivalent experience).</span></b></p></li></ul><p><b><span>Required Experience</span></b></p><ul><li><p><b><b>Workday Experience:</b><span> 4+ years of hands-on experience in the Workday ecosystem.</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Prism Expertise:</b><span> Minimum 2+ years of dedicated experience building Prism Data Sets, pipelines, and Discovery Boards.</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Data Engineering Skills:</b><span> Strong proficiency in </span><b>SQL concepts</b><span> (Inner/Outer Joins, Unions, Case Logic) and data transformation principles.</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Core Knowledge:</b><span> Deep understanding of the </span><b>Workday Object Model</b><span> (Business Objects, Fields, Instances) required to successfully map external data to internal IDs.</span></b></p></li></ul><p><b><span>Preferred Skills</span></b></p><ul><li><p><b><b>Secondary Certification:</b><span> Workday Advanced Reporting or Composite Reporting.</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Analytics Tools:</b><span> Experience with Workday </span><b>People Analytics (VIBE Central)</b><span> or external BI tools (Tableau, PowerBI).</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Integration:</b><span> Basic ability to read/debug XML, XSLT, or API logs.</span></b></p></li></ul><p><b><span>Competencies</span></b></p><ul><li><p><b><b>Analytical Thinking:</b><span> Ability to translate vague business questions (e.g., "Are we paying our sales team effectively?") into concrete data models and visualizations.</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Attention to Detail:</b><span> obsession with data accuracy and validation.</span></b></p></li><li><p><b><b>Communication:</b><span> Ability to explain complex data limitations or pipeline failures to non-technical stakeholders.</span></b></p></li></ul>
