Job Summary

We are hiring an experienced Workday Technical and Functional Consultant to act as the single point of contact between our HR, Finance, IT and business stakeholders and the Workday delivery team. This is a hands-on configuration role, not a program management role: the successful candidate will have spent the last 10 years working inside Workday tenants, configuring solutions, building and troubleshooting integrations, and producing reporting that leaders actually use.

The role sits at the center of demand and delivery. Requests arrive from many directions and in many forms, from a one-line question about an eligibility rule to a multi-quarter programme of work.

Part of that judgement is deciding at the point of intake which items should sit with the consultant from the start rather than being picked up internally and handed over later.



Equally key is the ability to explain the resulting design back to the requesting team in plain business language, and to the delivery group in configuration terms.

- Maintain a single prioritized demand backlog, agree sequencing with stakeholders, and communicate trade-offs when capacity is constrained.
- Run design walkthroughs, imp
