Senior People Systems Specialist
This is the role that decides what Sportradar reports on, not just how it reports it. Workday People Analytics is live, and the next chapter is turning that into a reporting function stakeholders pull from rather than queue for. The specialist will own the reporting and analytics landscape end to end: what is measured, how it reaches people, and how Workday data connects to the rest of Sportradar's systems in Power BI. HR Business Partners, Finance and senior leadership should be able to answer their own questions in seconds, and the work done will make that true. The role will also build the data foundation that lets reporting capability scale through AI rather than through headcount.
This is a senior remit with hands-on delivery attached: the specialist sets the direction, builds it, and still turns around the urgent Tuesday-afternoon request.
- Own the reporting strategy. Challenge the metrics that no longer earn their place, retire what nobody opens, and put forward what leadership should be looking at instead.
- Design, build and maintain all custom Workday reports and dashboards, including advanced, matrix and composite reports and calculated fields.
- Build and optimise Discovery Boards, People Analytics content and Worksheets, and drive adoption so they become the default place people look.
- Understand the decision behind each request and design reporting that answers the next three questions too. Train stakeholders so they can serve themselves.
- Build and maintain the data flows between Workday and other systems, including Power BI models that combine Workday data with other sources.
- Lay the data foundation that AI tooling can be pointed at safely and usefully - clean, well-structured, well-governed people data.
- Run regular validations, and design reporting security so the right people see the right data without friction.
- Automate recurring reporting (e.g. RaaS-enabled reports, scheduled deliveries) so effort shifts from producing reports to improving them.
- Handle day-to-day reporting requests to a high standard, and use the patterns in them to build something better.
- Expertise in Workday reporting, including Advanced, Matrix and Composite reports, Calc Fields, Worksheets, and Discovery Boards (required).
- People Analytics SKU experience (required).
- Hands-on experience with Workday security: domain and business process security, report-level security, and designing access for sensitive people data (required).
- Experience building and maintaining Power BI reports and data models, including combining Workday data with other sources (required).
- Strong understanding of Workday data structures and organisational design (required).
- Ability to collaborate across HR, Finance, and business stakeholders with a focus on usability and data quality (required).
- The judgment to push back on a reporting request and propose a better answer, and the pragmatism to turn around the urgent ones (required).
- Experience in Workday People Analytics SKU (nice-to-have).
- Eager to experiment with AI and how to scale automations and analysis for the function (nice-to-have).
- Experience training or enabling non-technical stakeholders on self-service reporting (nice-to-have).
- Configuration experience in an additional Workday module: HCM, Recruiting, Talent, Adv Compensation, Performance, Time, Absence, Benefits (nice-to-have).
- A collaborative environment with colleagues from all over the world, including various social events and teambuilding.
- Flexibility to manage your workday and tasks with autonomy.
- A balance of structure and autonomy to tackle your daily tasks.
- Vibrant and inclusive community, including Women in Tech and Pride groups which welcome all participants.
- Global Employee Assistance Programme.
- Calm and Reulay app (leading well-being apps designed to support focus, quality rest, mindfulness, and long-term mental resilience).
- Online training videos.
- Flexible working hours.
