IonQ is developing the world's most powerful full-stack quantum computer based on trapped-ion technology. We are pushing past the limits of classical physics and current supercomputing technology to unlock a new era of computing. Quantum computing has the potential to impact every area of human society for the better. IonQ’s computers will soon redefine industries like medicine, materials science, finance, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cryptography, and more. IonQ is at the forefront of this technological revolution.

We are looking for a Senior HRIS Analyst in our People Technology team. As a Sr. HRIS Analyst, you’ll be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world’s best quantum computers to solve the world’s most complex problems.

In this role you will be a key architect of our global people technology ecosystem, optimizing the Workday engine that powers our talent strategy. Reporting to the Director of Global People Technology, you will manage our end-to-end HR tech stack, with a heavy focus on data architecture, security configuration, and advanced analytics.

Responsibilities:

System Ownership: Act as the primary lead for Workday HCM, Reporting, and Performance. Manage the full lifecycle of application solutions, from initial requirement gathering to deployment and release management.
Domain Expertise: Configure and optimize Workday across all modules, including HCM, Absence, Benefits, Compensation, Help, Journeys, Talent, and Time.
Strategic Collaboration: Lead sessions with business stakeholders to translate complex requirements into scalable software solutions.
Operational Excellence: Oversee critical document generation (offer letters, termination agreements, and employee covenants) in partnership with Legal, ensuring accuracy and compliance for both internal moves and newly acquired talent.
Process Innovation: Continuously evaluate workflows to identify "friction points," driving system enhancements that improve the employee and manager experience.
Audit & Compliance: Maintain a rigorous focus on SOX compliance and internal controls. Lead year-end reporting, audits, and system-related compliance activities.
Lifecycle Management: Manage the Workday release cycle, ensuring IonQ is leveraging new features effectively while maintaining detailed process and configuration documentation.

You’d be a good fit with:

5+ years of hands-on experience in Workday HCM (Configuration, Benefits, Compensation, and Advanced Reporting).
Strong understanding of job architecture, company/cost center hierarchies, and experience navigating HRIS integration during M&A activities.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Advanced Excel is a must) and familiarity with third-party integrations and data privacy regulations.
Proven track record operating in an Agile environment using tools like Jira and Confluence.
Expertise in project planning, developing functional specifications, building business cases, and executing rigorous test plans.

You’d be a great fit with:

Workday Pro HCM or Reporting Certification is highly preferred.
While remote, you must have the ability to perform work on-site as needed for specific projects or team intensives.
Ability to translate "system-speak" into clear, actionable insights for diverse teams and senior leadership.
High-level time management skills with the ability to pivot quickly in a high-growth, fast-paced tech environment.
A deep understanding of security controls, audit requirements, and internal control adherence.

IonQ's HQ is located in College Park, Maryland, just outside of Washington DC. We are actively building out our recently opened manufacturing and production facility in Bothell, WA (near Seattle). Depending on the position, you may be required to be near one of our offices in College Park, Seattle, Toronto, Canada, and Basel, Switzerland. However, IonQ will expand into additional domestic and international geographies, so don’t let this stop you from applying!

At IonQ, we believe in fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all while striving to identify and eliminate barriers. We empower employees to thrive by fostering a culture of autonomy, productivity, and respect. We are dedicated to creating an environment where individuals can feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued.

We are committed to equity and justice. We welcome different voices and viewpoints and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, ancestry, physical and/or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, transgender status, age, sexual orientation, military or veteran status, or any other basis protected by law. We are proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.

US Technical Jobs. The position you are applying for will require access to technology that is subject to U.S. export control and government contract restrictions. Employment with IonQ is contingent on either verifying “U.S. Person” (e.g., U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum) status for export controls and government contracts work, obtaining any necessary license, and/or confirming the availability of a license exception under U.S. export controls. Please note that in the absence of confirming you are a U.S. Person for export control and government contracts work purposes, IonQ may choose not to apply for a license or decline to use a license exception (if available) for you to access export-controlled technology that may require authorization, and similarly, you may not qualify for government contracts work that requires U.S. Persons, and IonQ may decline to proceed with your application on those bases alone. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.

US Non-Technical Jobs. Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.
