Workday Techno-Functional Implementation Consultant

We are seeking a Workday Techno-Functional Implementation Consultant who possesses deep Workday functional knowledge of business processes (such as HR, benefits, payroll) combined with the technical skills needed to build, configure, and integrate solutions within the Workday platform. The consultant will be a vital link between business stakeholders and technical teams throughout the implementation lifecycle. This role requires the ability to understand complex business requirements and translate them into effective system designs, configurations, and integrations using Workday's proprietary tools and technologies.

Key Responsibilities

Requirements gathering and analysis: participate with business stakeholders to understand, document, and analyze current business processes and future-state requirements across various Workday modules (e.g., HCM, Benefits, Compensation, Payroll, Absence).

Workday configuration: Translate business requirements into Workday configurations, including setting up business processes, security policies, and organization structures in the Workday tenant.

Integration development and management: Design, develop, test, and deploy integrations between Workday and third-party systems using a range of Workday tools (EIB, Core Connectors, Workday Studio, Report as a Service).

Custom report and calculated field creation: Develop and maintain simple, advanced, and composite reports using Workday's report writer. Create complex calculated fields to support reporting and business process logic.

Data conversion and migration: Facilitate and execute the data conversion strategy from legacy systems to Workday, including data extraction, transformation, validation, and loading via EIBs and other Workday tools.

System testing and quality assurance: Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, including unit, system, integration, parallel, and user acceptance testing (UAT). Work with business users to resolve defects and obtain sign‑off.

Documentation and knowledge transfer: Create and maintain documentation (business requirements, functional design documents, technical specifications, and end‑user training materials). Conduct workshops and training sessions for clients.

Post‑production support: Provide ongoing support to resolve technical issues, troubleshoot system configurations, and support bi‑annual Workday updates to ensure system integrity.

Client and vendor management: Act as a liaison between client internal teams (HR, Finance, IT) and third‑party vendors involved in the project.

Best practices and guidance: Advise clients on Workday best practices to optimize their system, improve efficiency, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., SOX, GDPR).
