About the engagement

A regulated financial institution is looking for a seasoned Workday consultant to conduct a structured assessment of their current environment and build a clear optimization roadmap. This is a strategic advisory role you'll interview stakeholders across HR, Finance, IT, and Internal Audit, identify gaps between how the system is configured and how it should be operating, and deliver a prioritized plan with quick wins and longer-term improvements.

The organization implemented Workday across all major modules but has not meaningfully evolved the system since go-live. Significant opportunity exists to reduce manual workarounds, rationalize business processes, strengthen access controls, and build internal capability. You'll report directly to the CHRO.

Scope of work

Full configuration review across Payroll, Benefits, Compensation, Talent, Recruiting, and Learning modules
Security roles, segregation of duties, and access controls — including a flagged super-admin concentration risk
Business process, approval workflow, and notification rationalization
Reporting, dashboards, and data integrity assessment
Stakeholder interviews and governance / ownership model redesign
Delivery of a prioritized implementation roadmap with training and knowledge transfer

What we're looking for

Deep hands-on Workday HCM expertise across multiple modules you've seen what "good" looks like at scale and can translate that for a lean 250-person shop
Experience in highly regulated environments (financial services, healthcare, or similar) sensitivity to audit and compliance expectations is non-negotiable
Background in Workday implementations, optimizations, or post-go-live assessments ideally with mid-market or smaller organizations
Strong project management skills you can own a workstream, communicate progress clearly, and keep stakeholders aligned without hand-holding
Executive presence you'll present findings and recommendations directly to CHRO-level leadership
Change management experience helping teams adopt new ways of working, not just documenting gaps
