Job description

We are looking for a hardworking, innovative, and collaborative Senior HCM Functional Consultant to join our team. In this role you will ensure the successful implementation of the Workday HCM solution with customers through product and implementation expertise. The ideal candidate for this position should have extensive experience implementing or supporting HRIS systems, requirements capturing, configuration, data conversion, and testing. You should be detail oriented, self-motivated, proactive, results-oriented and able to successfully partner with customers and your project team. Be ready to be challenged and have fun!

  • Master HCM Core and at least one other product in the HCM product suite (Compensation, Benefits, Recruiting, Paradox, HiredScore, Talent Management, or Learning)
  • Perform the following on an engagement: understand client business requirements, configure the Workday solution, demonstrate the configurations through the development of prototype systems, assist the client in testing the Workday solution
  • Work with the client to help convert legacy data into Workday
  • Assist the Integration team in helping to configure and test integrations between Workday and third party/custom solutions
  • Understand Workday’s Implementation Methodology and use it on all engagements
  • Ensure the client takes advantage of Workday’s proven solutions
  • Mentor and share product knowledge with other consultants, With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you’ll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote “home office” roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.

Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
