About the team
At SumUp, we're passionate about supporting small businesses. We believe everyone should have access to flexible, fair, and easy-to-use technology that helps bring their ideas to life. Every day, millions of people around the world dream of starting their own business, and we're here to help make that happen. Our long-term ambition is to "close the loop" by turning everyday transactions into lasting relationships between businesses and their customers.

In this role, reporting to the Head of People Tech, you'll work at the heart of our Workday ecosystem. You'll collaborate closely with People Operations, Payroll, and business stakeholders to ensure our Workday HCM setup remains scalable, reliable, and intuitive as we grow.

Strengthen document generation, validation logic, and reporting structures to reduce manual work and prevent downstream errors
Provide responsive and empathetic guidance to SumUppers using Workday, helping them feel confident and supported
Build and maintain reliable reports and dashboards, ensuring data accuracy and supporting informed decision-making
Contribute to clear documentation, structured change management, and sustainable configuration standards
You'll be great for this role if you have
Hands-on experience with Workday HCM Core (experience with additional modules such as Time Tracking or Compensation is a plus)
A solid understanding of Workday fundamentals such as Staffing, Worker Data, Organizations, Business Processes, and Reporting
Confidence working with structured datasets to validate configuration changes and ensure reliable outputs
Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills, with close attention to data accuracy
The ability to explain technical concepts clearly and translate business needs into scalable system solutions
A mindset that looks for simplification, standardisation, and continuous improvement
