Senior Workday HCM Consultant

We’re looking for a Senior Workday Functional HCM Consultant who thrives on collaboration, drives delivery excellence, and knows how to bring cross-functional teams together for success. This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal leadership role — working across functional workstreams, guiding the delivery team, and ensuring the program aligns with business goals. This is a full-time position.

You’ll work closely with the Project Manager, offshore leads, and key stakeholders to drive quality outcomes — without being tied to day-to-day configuration. But when things get complex, you're not afraid to dive in, problem-solve, and lead by example. This is a role for someone who loves owning the big picture while staying close enough to the details to make a real impact.

Responsibilities

• Partner with clients to understand HR requirements and deliver tailored Workday HCM solutions from design through implementation.
• Configure and customize multiple Workday HCM modules to align with unique business processes and goals.
• Lead full lifecycle Workday implementations, including Phase X projects and post-production support.
• Provide strategic guidance on Workday best practices and optimize system usage for long-term value.
• Manage project delivery, including risk identification, mitigation planning, and removal of roadblocks.
• Advise clients on system impacts, integration considerations, and process interdependencies.
• Conduct knowledge transfer sessions to educate clients and ensure effective system adoption.
• Set and manage client expectations while maintaining alignment with project scope and timelines.
• Take ownership of issue resolution and follow through on assignments to completion.

Skills & Qualifications

• Active Workday Certification (in HCM or relevant modules) required.
• Strong understanding of end-to-end HR functional processes across the employee lifecycle.
• In-depth knowledge of how Workday configuration impacts cross-functional systems and workflows.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence and engage stakeholders at all levels.
• Quick decision-making capabilities in fast-paced environments, with a strong focus on business outcomes.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a structured and logical approach to troubleshooting.
• Proven experience independently leading Workday projects and resolving implementation challenges.
• Ability to manage testing cycles and support the deployment of software and technical solutions.
• A mindset of continuous improvement, driving innovation and contributing to operational excellence.
