Senior Manager, HRIS / HR Technology

(Hands‑On Workday Configuration + AI Innovation + Full HR Tech Stack Ownership)

About Power Integrations

Power Integrations is a leading innovator in semiconductor technologies for high-voltage power conversion. Our products are key building blocks in the clean-power ecosystem, enabling the generation of renewable energy as well as the efficient transmission and consumption of power in a vast range of applications including appliances, mobile devices, computers and countless industrial applications.

About the Role

We are seeking a hands‑on, technically exceptional HR Technology leader to own and evolve our entire HR technology ecosystem. This role is responsible for Workday end‑to‑end configuration across Core HCM, Advanced Compensation, ESS, MSS, business processes, security, reporting, and integrations — and for modernizing our broader HR tech stack with best‑in‑class, fiscally responsible solutions.

You will operate with a very lean team, which means success depends on your ability to leverage technology, automation, AI, and smart design to scale HR operations without adding headcount. This is a role for a builder, problem‑solver, and innovator — not someone who delegates configuration to consultants.

You will be the strategic and technical owner of our HR technology landscape, driving innovation, operational efficiency, and world‑class employee experience.

What You Will Lead & Deliver

Own the entire HR technology stack, including Workday and adjacent HR tools, ensuring the ecosystem is modern, scalable, and cost‑effective.
Design, configure, test, deploy, and optimize Workday across Core HCM, Advanced Compensation (merit, bonus, equity, promotions), business processes, security, reporting, and integrations.
Modernize the HR tech stack by evaluating and implementing best‑in‑class solutions that complement Workday — always balancing innovation with fiscal responsibility.
Implement AI‑powered enhancements that augment Workday where native functionality is limited, including workflow intelligence, automation, content generation, and predictive insights.
Leverage automation and AI to scale HR operations with a lean team, reducing manual work and increasing operational efficiency.
Lead with design thinking to deeply understand user needs and translate them into intuitive, frictionless HR technology experiences.
Drive a tech‑first mindset across HR, uplifting the team’s capability to think in terms of automation, scalability, and digital enablement.
Partner with HR, IT, and business leaders to understand requirements, challenge assumptions, and propose innovative, scalable solutions.
Own governance and quality for HR technology, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and compliance across all modules and processes.
Manage complex annual cycles (merit, bonus, equity, promotions) with precision and reliability.
Serve as the Workday SME for troubleshooting, root‑cause analysis, and continuous improvement.

What Great Looks Like

You are the right fit if you:

Are a hands‑on Workday expert who loves being in the system — not someone who delegates configuration to consultants.
Have deep configuration experience across Core HCM, Advanced Compensation, business processes, security, reporting, and integrations.
Have implemented AI solutions (not just explored them) to enhance HR technology capabilities.
Can own and modernize an entire HR tech stack, making smart, cost‑effective decisions that balance innovation with fiscal discipline.
Thrive in a lean‑team environment, using automation and smart design to scale impact.
Ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and think beyond the obvious.
Are a design thinker who builds solutions that are simple, intuitive, and employee‑centric.
Can translate complex problems into elegant, scalable solutions.
Are passionate about modernizing HR and uplifting the team’s technical capabilities.

Required Experience

8+ years of HR Technology experience with 5+ years of hands‑on Workday configuration across multiple modules.
Proven ownership of Advanced Compensation (merit, bonus, equity, promotions) configuration and cycle execution.
Demonstrated experience implementing AI‑driven HR solutions (automation, workflow intelligence, content generation, predictive insights, etc.).
Experience owning or modernizing an HR tech stack, including vendor evaluation and cost‑benefit analysis.
Strong understanding of HR processes, data structures, and compliance requirements.
Experience designing and optimizing employee and manager self‑service experiences.
Ability to lead cross‑functional discussions, influence stakeholders, and drive alignment.
Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and design‑thinking capabilities.

Preferred Experience

Semiconductor or high‑tech industry experience.
Experience with Workday Extend, Workday Journeys, or Workday Help.
Experience modernizing HR operations and scaling HR technology in a growing organization.

Why This Role Matters

This role is central to transforming how HR operates — from manual and fragmented to automated, intelligent, and employee‑centric. You will shape the future of our HR technology ecosystem, elevate the experience of every employee and manager, and ensure we modernize responsibly and sustainably — all while operating with a lean team that relies on technology, not headcount, to scale.
