This is a critical role based in Singapore and part of the Global HRIS ecosystem, with a specific mandate to represent and support the Asia Pacific region. In this role, you will play a central part in ensuring that global Workday standards are upheld, while shaping and maintaining HR data quality, compliance, and operational accuracy across APAC.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will take ownership of HR data for APAC, ensuring that all employee and organisational information in Workday is accurate, complete, and compliant with global data standards. You will act as the regional gatekeeper, making sure data is consistently maintained while reflecting local nuances and requirements. A key part of the remit involves safeguarding employee information by upholding stringent data privacy regulations and implementing clear rules on data retention, access rights, and overall data lifecycle management.

You will also be responsible for keeping the organisation structure in Workday fully up to date by maintaining reporting lines, team structures, job changes, new roles, and cost‑centre accuracy. As the business grows, evolves, or undergoes reorganisations or integrations, you will ensure the system accurately mirrors real‑world changes. As the Tier 3 escalation point for APAC, you will troubleshoot and resolve complex HR data problems, guiding HR teams on correct processes and helping prevent future issues.

A critical part of your role will be running audits, data quality checks, and validation routines to drive accuracy and reduce system errors. You will design and implement audit mechanisms, identify potential data risks early, and equip HR teams and service providers with the right training to maintain standards. You will also take ownership of generating HR reports, dashboards, and insights for the region-turning data into meaningful information to support business decision‑making.

Finally, you will work closely with the global Workday team to support system improvements, test new features, and drive enhancements during Workday release cycles. You will champion continuous improvement, support process optimisation, and help uplift the region’s capability through training and change enablement.
