It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!
We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.
Peter Millar was founded in 2001 with a single cashmere sweater offered in 24 colors.

The Workday Functional Analyst (Payroll & Benefits) is responsible for supporting the ongoing optimization, maintenance, and enhancement of Peter Millar’s Workday platform, with a primary focus on Payroll and Benefits functionality.
Working closely with the Sr. Manager, Payroll and Benefits, HRIS Manager, and HR teams, this role serves as the functional expert for the Workday Payroll and Benefits module, partnering with stakeholders to identify opportunities for system optimization, resolve complex issues, implement new functionality, and improve business processes.
