JOB SUMMARY
Vaco is currently seeking a Workday HCM / CWR Consultant for a 6M+ Contract (w/ likely extensions) that is remote-based. The Workday HCM / CWR Consultant must possess strong, hands-on expertise across Learning (LMS), Talent, Organizational Development, Recruiting, Security, and Reporting. The Workday HCM / CWR Consultant is a critical role supporting a major global transformation: a PeopleSoft to Workday HCM implementation spanning approximately 30 countries (United States / Canada / Europe / the Caribbean). The Workday HCM / CWR Consultant will play a key role in configuring, optimizing, and supporting Workday HCM functionality with a strong focus on contingent workforce (CWR) processes while ensuring multi-country compliance and global consistency.

Workday HCM Module Configuration / Testing / Support (hands-on) – Emphasizing Learning / LMS (integrations / compliance training) / Talent Management / Organizational Development / Recruiting / Security (Domain Security / Role-based Security / Access Management) / Reporting (Advanced Reporting / Calculated Fields / Dashboards / Analytics)
Workday Migration / Lifecycle Support – Supporting End-to-End PeopleSoft-to-Workday Migration | Requirements Gathering / Design / Configuration / Data Conversion / Testing / Training / Post-Go-Live Hypercare
Global Configuration / Compliance – Leading and/or Contributing to Multi-Country Workday Configurations | Localized Business Processes / Country-Specific Compliance (Labor Laws / Data Privacy / Reporting / Global Template Standardization)
Stakeholder Coordination – Partnering with HR / IT / Business Leaders / Global Teams | Driving Adoption / Alignment Across Regions
Contingent Workforce Management (CWR) – Managing Workday CWR Processes | Onboarding / Contracting / Conversions / Supplier Integrations / Data Integrity
Integrations / LMS Support (expertise) – System Integrations / Supporting LMS Platforms | Cornerstone / Retail / Operator Qualification (OQ) / Compliance-Focused Solutions

About the Project: This is a senior-level, multi-module functional consultant / SME (Subject Matter Expert) role with a heavy emphasis on global implementation leadership and contingent workforce (CWR) expertise. It's positioned as a hands-on configurator and lead, not just an advisor or support resource. There will be a strong focus on Contingent Workforce processes in Workday, including onboarding contractors, contract management, conversions to employee, supplier integrations, avoiding overlaps with employees / POIs, data integrity, etc. However, the bulk of the day-to-day work spans multiple HCM modules beyond just CWR. The ideal candidate will have been involved in 3+ full-lifecycle Workday HCM implementations with 1+ being global / multi-country.

This role is closer to a Senior Functional Lead or Multi-Module SME than a standard HCM Consultant, focusing on Multi-Modules (hands-on) / Advanced Modules / Global Scale/Complexity (Multi-Country) / CWR Specialization + Broader HCM / Product Lifecycle Involvement / Stakeholder/Leadership Engagement
