Complete your application on guidehouse.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com. The employer’s form will show what is required.

Applying through Workday

  • You create an account with each employer before you can upload anything. Every Workday employer has its own account, so one sign-up doesn’t carry over.
  • “Autofill with Resume” comes right after sign-in, before the My Information and My Experience steps. Check every field it fills in those steps, since that’s what recruiters see.
  • Your application status lives in that employer’s Candidate Home, under the same sign-in.

About the role

We file this job under Analyst, by the work the posting describes.

Analysts answer business questions with data. They pull numbers with SQL, build reports and dashboards, and explain what changed and why to the people making decisions.

Most postings ask for SQL, spreadsheets, a dashboard tool such as Tableau or Power BI, and clear writing.

Unlike a data scientist, an analyst mostly explains what happened rather than building models that predict what will.
