Overview

Palo Alto, California | Onsite Monday through Friday | Immediate Consulting Opportunity

IntegraTouch is seeking an experienced Senior Workday Advanced Compensation Consultant to support a high growth technology organization in Palo Alto.

This is a senior, hands on People Technology consulting role with a primary focus on Workday Advanced Compensation and enterprise compensation programs. The consultant will also contribute to broader initiatives across Core HCM, Performance Management, Security, Reporting, Talent Acquisition technology, and emerging AI enabled People Technology solutions.

We are looking for someone who understands much more than how Workday works. The right consultant can sit with HR, Total Rewards, People Technology, and IT leaders, understand complex business requirements, translate those needs into clear functional requirements, develop comprehensive testing strategies, audit complex data, and help drive critical projects through successful delivery.

Deep, hands on Workday Advanced Compensation experience is required.

Location and Schedule

This position requires working onsite in Palo Alto, California, Monday through Friday.

Candidates should live within a reasonable commuting distance of Palo Alto or be prepared to independently relocate to the area.

The consultant must also have some flexibility to occasionally work earlier mornings or later evenings when collaboration with international teams is required.

What You Will Do

Your primary responsibility will be supporting major compensation programs and People Technology initiatives involving Workday Advanced Compensation.

Responsibilities may include:

Support major annual compensation review cycles using Workday Advanced Compensation
Partner with Total Rewards, HR, People Technology, and IT stakeholders
Gather, analyze, and document complex business and functional requirements
Translate HR and compensation requirements into detailed specifications for technical configuration teams
Develop detailed requirements documentation for large People Technology initiatives
Build comprehensive User Acceptance Testing strategies and plans
Develop test cases, expected outcomes, timelines, and execution processes
Lead and coordinate UAT activities across business and technical teams
Conduct complex data audits to validate compensation, employee, and HR data
Identify discrepancies, risks, and process improvement opportunities
Develop Workday reports and support reporting requirements
Manage smaller Workday enhancements and project requests
Partner with IT on root cause analysis and validate solutions before production release
Support project planning, timelines, communications, training, and documentation
Review incoming People Technology demand and provide prioritization recommendations
Evaluate current technology capabilities against emerging business requirements
Support the implementation and ongoing operation of Talent Acquisition and People Technology platforms

Workday Expertise

We are seeking candidates with deep functional expertise in Workday Advanced Compensation combined with broad knowledge across the Workday ecosystem.

The strongest candidates will have experience with several of the following:

Workday Advanced Compensation
Enterprise compensation review cycles
Core HCM
Performance Management
Workday Security
Workday Reporting
Business process analysis
Requirements gathering and functional design
User Acceptance Testing
Data auditing and reconciliation
Workday enhancement projects
Cross functional Workday implementations

Because system configuration is owned by a separate technical team, this role is particularly well suited for a senior functional consultant who excels at bridging the gap between HR and business requirements and technical execution.

You must be able to understand what the business needs, document it clearly, anticipate potential issues, thoroughly test the resulting solution, and help ensure successful delivery.

AI First People Technology

We are particularly interested in professionals who are actively exploring how AI can improve the way People Technology teams operate.

You should be comfortable using tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar technologies to improve productivity and quality across areas such as:

Test script and test case development
Process analysis and improvement
Data review and auditing
Requirements documentation
Workflow development
Repetitive task automation
Knowledge management
Development of lightweight tools that leverage Workday data

You do not need to be an AI engineer.

We are looking for someone who understands how to use modern AI tools thoughtfully and practically to work smarter, improve processes, and help a People Technology organization continue to evolve.

Talent Acquisition Technology

Experience supporting modern Talent Acquisition technology is highly desirable.

Experience with Gem is strongly preferred. Candidates with significant experience implementing or supporting other enterprise ATS, recruiting CRM, or Talent Acquisition platforms will also be considered.

Recognition or employee engagement platforms
AI enabled workflow automation
Workday reporting
Complex HR data analysis
Global People Technology environments
Collaboration with international technical teams

The Person We Are Looking For

This opportunity is best suited for someone who combines deep Workday expertise with business judgment, curiosity, and strong communication skills.

You should be comfortable working independently while building trusted relationships across HR, Total Rewards, People Technology, and IT.
