Description

The Role We are looking for an experienced and highly skilled People Technology Principal Functional Specialist to join our HelloFresh People Team at either our New York City or Berlin Headquarters. In this role, you will serve as the technical expert for Workday Advanced Compensation while also contributing broad expertise across the Workday HCM suite. You will bring deep knowledge of compensation processes and configuration—covering merit, bonus, equity, and allowances—alongside strong hands-on capability in core HCM areas such as Staffing, Organizations, Business Processes, Security, and Reporting. As the most senior functional specialist within the team, you will partner closely with Compensation & Benefits, HR, Finance, and Legal to design and deliver scalable, compliant, and data-driven solutions. You will not only own delivery of complex Compensation initiatives but also provide thought leadership and guidance across the wider HCM landscape, ensuring HelloFresh maximizes the value of Workday globally. What You’ll Do Act as the principal subject matter expert in Workday Advanced Compensation, owning solution design, configuration, testing, deployment, and governance. Partner with senior stakeholders (Compensation & Benefits, HRBPs, Finance) to translate reward strategies into scalable system solutions. Lead complex, global Compensation initiatives in Workday (e.g., annual merit, bonus, and equity cycles; off-cycle adjustments). Provide thought leadership across Workday HCM, ensuring best practices in Core HCM, Staffing, Organizations, Business Processes, and Security. Act as a senior advisor within the People Technology team, mentoring colleagues and supporting broader HCM projects beyond Compensation. Troubleshoot and resolve complex Workday issues in both Compensation and HCM, ensuring operational continuity during critical cycles. Contribute to Workday reporting and analytics, with a focus on Compensation insights as well as broader HR data. Support Workday data conversion, EIBs, and integrations across Compensation and HCM areas. Lead system audits, ensure data integrity, and continuously improve processes in both Compensation and HCM. Develop training, documentation, and enablement materials for HRBPs, managers, and business users. What You’ll Bring 5+ years of hands-on Workday experience, with demonstrated expertise in Advanced Compensation (merit, bonus, equity, allowances). Strong working knowledge of Workday HCM modules, including Core HCM, Staffing, Organizations, Business Processes, Security, and Reporting. Proven ability to design and implement global, scalable, and compliant Workday solutions across multiple domains. Experience leading large-scale Compensation cycles in Workday, including governance, configuration, and troubleshooting. Expertise with Workday data conversion, EIBs, and integrations across Compensation and HCM. Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills for compensation modeling, validation, and HR data analysis. Strong consulting skills: ability to engage with senior stakeholders, gather requirements, and deliver solutions aligned to business strategy. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex Workday functionality to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A collaborative mindset, with the ability to mentor colleagues and influence without direct authority. Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, HR Management, Computer Science, or a related field. Familiarity with Agile methodologies is a plus. Fluency in English is required; additional languages are a plus. What we offer Elevate your lifestyle! Join one of Europe's fastest-growing tech powerhouses in a dynamic phase of expansion.
