Senior People Systems Analyst

WHY HARVEY At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come. This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1500+ customers in 60+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched. Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you. At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

WHAT YOU'LL DO - Configure and maintain Workday Compensation plans, including base pay, bonus targets, one-time payments, equity grants, and compensation grade profiles across multiple countries. - Support annual and mid-year compensation review cycles end-to-end — including integration with performance management tools, compensation change loads, compensation statements, and manager reporting. - Build and maintain custom reports and dashboards in Workday to support People Ops, Total Rewards, Finance, Payroll, and cross-functional stakeholders with compensation data, headcount reporting, incentive compensation tracking, and compliance audits. - Support the implementation and configuration of the Advanced Compensation module within Workday, including compensation planning cycles, merit increases, bonus calculations, and equity refresh processes. - Manage Workday integrations related to compensation data — including connections to payroll systems, market data providers (e.g., Pave, Radford), ATS platforms (e.g., Ashby), and financial planning tools. - Configure and maintain Workday security roles and permissions, including domain and business process security, role-based access controls, and audit readiness — ensuring sensitive compensation data is properly segmented and auditable. - Partner cross-functionally with People Ops, Total Rewards, Payroll, Finance, Legal, and IT to gather requirements, design scalable processes, and deliver system solutions aligned with business needs. - Manage Workday release cycles, including reviewing new features, running regression testing, and deploying configuration updates t
