UTA seeks a Coordinator to serve as the operational engine of the People Data team, responsible for high-volume, high-accuracy data entry across the full employee lifecycle in Workday. The Coordinator owns the day-to-day execution of lifecycle transactions, manages the shared email and ticketing queue, and administers records for both regular and contract employees.

Workday Data Entry — Employee Lifecycle

• Enter and maintain data for both regular and contract/contingent employees, ensuring correct worker types, positions, cost centers, business units, and supervisory organizations.


• Perform Workday EIB (Enterprise Interface Builder) data loads and mass updates for bulk transactions, following established templates, validation steps, and audit controls.


• Reconcile position and worker data, correcting discrepancies and preventing downstream errors in benefits, payroll, and reporting.


• Maintain confidentiality and privacy of all personal and sensitive employee data.

Email & Ticketing Queue Management

• Own and monitor the shared People Data email inbox and ticketing queue, triaging incoming requests, routing appropriately, and acknowledging/resolving within defined SLAs (e.g., 1–2 business days).


• Track request status end-to-end, follow up on open items, and escalate blockers to the manager or cross-functional partners as needed.


• Provide clear, professional written responses to employees, managers, and People Business Partners across email, ticketing, and Slack on the status of data requests.

Recruitment & Onboarding Data

• Manage the handoff of candidate and new-hire data from Ashby (recruitment/ATS) into Workday, validating field accuracy at the point of entry.


• Support onboarding data readiness, ensuring new hires and contract workers are set up completely and on time.


• Coordinate with Talent Acquisition and Systems to resolve integration or data-sync issues between Ashby and Workday.

Data Integrity & Process

• Run routine data audits and quality checks; identify error trends and recurring issues and flag them for remediation.


• Follow and help improve SOPs, checklists, and reference materials for lifecycle transactions and queue management.


• Support user acceptance testing (UAT) for Workday configuration changes, upgrades, and enhancements.

• 1-3+ years of hands-on HR operations / HRIS data entry experience, with a track record of managing high transaction volume accurately.
• Strong hands-on Workday HCM experience across the employee lifecycle (hires, changes, terminations, position management).
• Direct experience with Workday EIB data loads and mass updates.
• Experience administering data for contract/contingent workers alongside regular employees.
• Familiarity with Ashby (or a comparable ATS) and recruitment-to-HRIS data handoffs.
• Demonstrated experience managing a shared email inbox and/or ticketing queue against defined SLAs.
• Meticulous attention to detail and a strong sense of ownership over data accuracy.
• Strong written communication skills and comfort working with cross-functional partners (Payroll, Legal, Systems, People Business Partners).
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; familiarity with ticketing tools (e.g., JIRA, Asana) and collaboration/communication tools (e.g., Slack).

• Bachelor’s degree in human resources, business, or a related field preferred.
• Experience supporting employees on fixed-term or other employment contracts, including tracking contract terms, start/end dates, extensions, renewals, and related Workday updates.
• Reporting knowledge is a plus — including Workday advanced/custom report writing, matrix reports, and pulling data to answer stakeholder questions.
• Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth, or entertainment/agency environment.
• Prior work supporting data governance or audit frameworks.

• The unique and exciting opportunity to work at one of a leading global entertainment companies
