About this role
Hi, we’re Back Market.We’re here to help make tech reliable, affordable, and better than new. We're a global marketplace for refurbished devices, helping lower our collective environmental impact by providing trustworthy, affordable tech with 92% less carbon emissions than new.
Yep, you read that right. Turns out refurbished tech is way better for the planet than new. In fact, With every device purchased on Back Market, our positive impact on the planet grows. From our Customer Care representatives to our software engineer, every individual at Back Market cuts the planet — and consumers — a break. Our mission is simple: to do more with what we already have.
Are you ready to join us?
As a HRIS Specialist, reporting to the Head of HRIS, you will own the People Team's tooling ecosystem across 17 countries — with Workday at its core, and progressively extending to the full HR tool stack (ATS, expense management, and beyond).
Workday — your main playground
Configure, test and document Workday across HCM, Absence, Talent, Advanced Compensation, Help and Journeys — from gathering the business need with People stakeholders to deployment and adoption
Own the release management cycle: assess each Workday release, test the impacts, and turn relevant new features into concrete improvements for the business
Troubleshoot workflow and system issues, run root cause analysis, and remove recurring incidents through structural fixes rather than workarounds
The wider People tool stack
Take ownership of HR tools currently managed outside the HRIS scope (ATS, expense management, and others): map the existing setup, understand how each team uses them, and bring them under a single, coherent governance
Become the reference point for those tools: configuration, user support, vendor relationship, roadmap
Challenge the stack itself — identify overlaps, gaps and tools that no longer earn their place, and build the case for what should be kept, replaced or consolidated
Across the whole scope
Partner with our in-house Tech teams on integration design between Workday and the rest of the ecosystem (payroll, ATS, IT provisioning, Finance)
Work with our external partners to deliver projects on time and on scope — and challenge them when their answer isn't the right one
Explore what automation and AI can realistically bring to our People processes (Workday Extend, AI agents), and prototype it
Enable the Back Market community: documentation, training, and making our People tools something people actually want to use
YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF:
Must have
You have 3-5 years of hands-on Workday configuration experience — this is a build role, not a functional HR one
You are proficient with Workday HCM, reporting (calculated fields, advanced and matrix reports) and security configuration
You have already administered at least one other HR tool end-to-end (ATS, expense management, LMS, engagement platform…) — configuration, users, vendor relationship
You know how to translate a business need into a system requirement, and how to push back when the request isn't the right solution
You are structured and thorough, with real discipline on data accuracy and configuration documentation in a multi-country setup
You are comfortable taking over a scope that someone else used to own — with the diplomacy, the mapping work and the patience it requires
You can arbitrate between competing requests from several People sub-teams, and explain a "not now"
You are fluent in English, our working language
Nice to have
Experience running a tool migration or a vendor consolidation
Experience in a fast-growing international environment
