About the role

The ES Office of Data (ES OOD) is the strategic data foundation for Salesforce's Global Employee Success (ES) Operations. This role is critical and involves owning the end-to-end data integration strategy and execution that underpins Salesforce's most high-stakes annual people programs.

Responsibilities

• Data Integration Strategy & Planning: Define data integration requirements and lead cross-functional planning across complex HR program cycles — including G4G, Annual Compensation, H2 Promotions, Org Modeling, and M&A.
• Evaluate data impacts, process changes, risks, and mitigation strategies across platforms and systems ahead of each program window.
• Lead the end-to-end data integration strategy and execution for the Workday Limited Transactions Period (LTP) across multiple programs simultaneously.
• Ensure shared understanding of data sequencing, metadata changes, and downstream system impacts across all partner teams.
• Program Execution & Exception Management: Serve as the primary escalation point for LTP exception review — advising on business-critical change scenarios across manager transfers, statutory changes, relocations, corrections, and promotions.
• Oversee end-to-end data readiness and seamless cutover for global ES programs, driving alignment and risk management across stakeholders.
• Identify and recommend process improvements, automation opportunities, and standardization of intake and escalation workflows.
• Mass Data Integrations & Governance: Strategize high-volume Workday EIBs and mass load operations in support of all critical program cycles.
• Assess pending transaction data and determine cancel vs. hold vs. complete decisions; execute approved mass actions in partnership with OOD Analyst support.
• Contribute to the ES OOD's AI Readiness agenda by supporting data accessibility, integration integrity, and centralized data platform goals.
• Partner Enablement & Training: Partner with Employee Success, BT/DET, HRIS, Product, Data Quality, Data Processing, and impacted COEs to align on integration timelines and program readiness.
• Deliver targeted training and coaching to global partners on Workday and connected systems — serving as the go-to resource for complex troubleshooting and knowledge transfer.
• Maintain and update playbooks, process documentation, canvases, and knowledge articles for all owned program areas — keeping them current and handoff-ready.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in HR data operations, HRIS analysis, or Workday data integration — with direct ownership of mass load execution and program data strategy.
• Deep Workday expertise — hands-on experience with EIBs, mass loads, business process configuration, and Workday reporting.
• Data integration & program strategy — demonstrated ability to define integration requirements and lead data operations for annual HR programs with strict timelines and zero-error standards.
• Cross-functional coordination — proven ability to partner with HRBPs, COE program leads, Compensation Delivery, and BT/DET teams across a global, matrixed organization.
• Analytical rigor — ability to assess pending transaction data, evaluate risk, and make clear and defensible recommendations under pressure.
• Clear communicator — able to translate complex data scenarios into simple, actionable guidance for Global ES Ops teams and program managers.
• Documentation & process discipline — proven ability to maintain live playbooks, process canvases, and KT-ready documentation; this role is a critical institutional knowledge carrier.
• Track record managing high-visibility programs with significant HR data impact across a global employee population.
