Reconcile position and worker data, correcting discrepancies and preventing downstream errors in benefits, payroll, and reporting.

Own and monitor the shared People Data email inbox and ticketing queue, triaging incoming requests, routing appropriately, and acknowledging/resolving within defined SLAs (e.g., 1–2 business days).
Track request status end-to-end, follow up on open items, and escalate blockers to the manager or cross-functional partners as needed.
Provide clear, professional written responses to employees, managers, and People Business Partners across email, ticketing, and Slack on the status of data requests.
Manage the handoff of candidate and new-hire data from Ashby (recruitment/ATS) into Workday, validating field accuracy at the point of entry.
Support onboarding data readiness, ensuring new hires and contract workers are set up completely and on time.
Coordinate with Talent Acquisition and Systems to resolve integration or data-sync issues between Ashby and Workday.
Run routine data audits and quality checks; identify error trends and recurring issues and flag them for remediation.
Follow and help improve SOPs, checklists, and reference materials for lifecycle transactions and queue management.
Support user acceptance testing (UAT) for Workday configuration changes, upgrades, and enhancements.
