VIRTUAL FIRST
Dropbox’s Virtual First way of working is designed to help people do their best work with flexibility, autonomy, and connection. Day to day, teams work remotely with nonlinear schedules and core collaboration hours that support deep focus and individual working styles. We prioritize asynchronous communication to improve clarity, respect deep work time, and reduce unnecessary meetings. While remote work is the primary experience for our employees, we also prioritize intentional, in-person connection. We bring teams together through regular team gatherings, on-demand workspaces, and Dropbox Neighborhood events in order to strengthen team cohesion, foster creativity, and enhance momentum. Virtual First is built to provide the same access to opportunity, growth, and impact for everyone, regardless of location. This role requires travel to offsites and various other team gatherings (approximately 5-10% of the year or 2-3 days per quarter). We provide advance notice when possible and encourage candidates to discuss any accommodation needs during the interview process.
AI FLUENCY
AI fluency is a core part of how we work and grow. It’s not about being an expert—it’s about using these tools thoughtfully and effectively to improve your work and support others.
WE LOOK FOR FOUR KEY BEHAVIORS IN CANDIDATES
- Ownership: You use AI responsibly by protecting data, applying sound judgment, and taking accountability for the quality and accuracy of your work.
- Experimentation: You explore new AI capabilities and apply them to improve workflows within approved tools and practices.
- Leverage: You use AI to enhance thinking, improve efficiency, and increase your impact and your team’s.
- Learning: You stay current on emerging AI tools and trends, continuously build your skills, and share what you learn with others.
Together, these behaviors help build a workforce where technology amplifies human judgment, creativity, and impact. Dropbox supports responsible use of AI for preparation, but misrepresentation of skills or experience is not permitted. To learn more, see our approach to AI in hiring.
Dropbox is an equal opportunity employer. We are a welcoming place for everyone, and we do our best to make sure all people feel supported and connected at work.

- Hands-on experience configuring Workday HCM, Financials, or Payroll modules
- Workday Pro certification in at least one functional or technical module
- Bachelor's degree in information systems, business, human resources, or a related field

Tips for Your Workday Analyst Job Search
Tailor your resume to Workday modules
Generic ERP experience won't cut it. List the specific Workday modules you've configured or supported, such as HCM, Payroll, Financials, or Recruiting, and note whether your experience was in implementation, post-production support, or both.
Earn a Workday certification before applying
Many openings list Workday Pro certification as a requirement, not a preference. If you haven't certified yet, prioritize the module most relevant to the roles you're targeting, since hiring managers use certification status as a fast filter.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists workday analyst openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight tenant configuration experience explicitly
Employers distinguish between analysts who've read documentation and those who've actually worked inside a Workday tenant. Call out hands-on configuration, business process design, or EIB data loads by name so that distinction is clear on your resume.
Prepare for a configuration demonstration round
Many workday analyst interviews include a live or take-home scenario where you walk through how you'd configure a business process or troubleshoot a broken step. Practice narrating your logic aloud as you work, not just arriving at the answer.
Negotiate your start date around your release window
Workday releases major updates twice a year, and employers value analysts who can hit the ground running before a release cycle. If you can time your start to arrive ahead of a release window, mention it during offer discussions as a concrete reason for a faster start.
Workday Analyst Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most workday analysts?
The companies hiring the most workday analysts right now include Ryder System, Workday, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, with the largest share of openings in California, Massachusetts, and Illinois, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Healthcare systems, large financial institutions, and enterprise consulting firms tend to post the highest volume consistently.
How many workday analyst jobs are remote?
About 64% of workday analyst openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, making it one of the more remote-accessible enterprise software roles. Positions focused on post-production support, integrations, and report writing tend to offer the most location flexibility, while implementation and go-live roles more often require on-site presence during key project phases.
How do you become a workday analyst?
Start by building a foundation in HR, finance, or IT systems, then pursue Workday Pro certification in a module that aligns with your background, such as HCM if you come from HR or Financials if you come from accounting. From there, look for junior analyst or implementation associate roles where you can gain hands-on tenant experience and work toward more complex configuration projects over time.
Can you get a workday analyst job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level workday analyst roles exist, particularly at consulting firms and managed services providers who hire analysts and train them on specific modules. Your strongest path in is combining a relevant degree in HR, finance, or IT with a Workday certification, even a foundational one, to demonstrate you've already invested in learning the platform before your first role.
What does the workday analyst interview process look like?
Most workday analyst interviews run two to four rounds, starting with a recruiter screen focused on module experience and certification status, followed by a technical interview where a hiring manager or senior analyst asks configuration and troubleshooting questions specific to the role's workload. Many employers add a practical scenario round where you walk through how you'd solve a business process or reporting problem, sometimes live inside a demo tenant.
Where can I find and apply to workday analyst jobs?
You can find and apply to workday analyst jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings for roles that match your module experience and seniority level, then apply directly to each one that fits.
