JOB TITLE

   

Business Systems Analyst II

   

JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

   

Florida Poly is a small, fast-moving STEM institution that treats our Workday tenant as a platform for progress, not just a system to maintain. As a Business Systems Analyst II on our Enterprise Solutions team, you'll design, refine, and reimagine the business processes that run this university, working across HCM, Financials, Procurement, Grants, and connected areas like payroll, benefits, and talent management.
We believe the best solutions come from trying things: whiteboarding a bold idea, building it, testing it, and pivoting if it doesn't work. This role is built for a true generalist who can flex across the Workday tenant as priorities shift, stay ahead of new release features, and help put bleeding-edge functionality to work for our university.
Most of all, we're looking for someone smart, curious, and genuinely excited to learn. You don't need to walk in the door with every skill mastered; if you've got the drive and the aptitude, we'll invest in developing the rest.
