Nava is a consultancy and public benefit corporation working to make government services simple and effective. Since 2015, federal, state, and local agencies have trusted Nava to help solve highly scrutinized technology modernization challenges.
 
As a client services company, we guide agencies constrained by legacy systems to a future with sharp user experiences built on secure, reliable, fault-tolerant cloud infrastructure. We bill for our time, offering our expertise and problem-solving approach to help our government partners enhance their digital products and services. People are at the heart of our work, from members of the public who rely on benefit programs to government agency staff. Through human-centered design and modern engineering best practices, we help our government partners understand user needs and deliver on their missions more effectively. This focus gives everyone at Nava the opportunity to do work that is meaningful, impactful, and deeply connected to public good.
 

We are hiring for a Workday Administrator who will focus on Payroll, Benefits & Talent: own configuration, data integrity, and support for Payroll, Benefits, and Performance/Talent.

This Administrator will partner closely with other Workday Administrators and the HCM Manager to translate approved architectural and business decisions into working Workday configuration, and to keep Nava's Workday environment reliable, audit-ready, and continuously improving. Success in either role requires more than responding to tickets,  we're looking for people who proactively identify data quality issues, process gaps, and configuration or integration improvements within their area, and escalate changes that impact core architecture.
