Workday Solution Architect – Workday Financial Systems Implementation

Job Summary
We are seeking a domain-experienced Workday Solution Architect to own and lead the
end-to-end technical solution architecture for Workday Financial Management
implementation (with already implemented Human Capital Management) across a large,
multi-business enterprise.
This role requires deep, hands-on experience designing, configuring, and governing
Workday Financials (and HCM) in complex enterprise environments. The ideal
candidate has progressed from technical Workday roles (e.g., Workday Technical
Architect, Integration Lead) into enterprise architecture ownership. This is not a
conceptual or advisory architecture role.
The Workday Solutions Architect is accountable for defining and building scalable,
secure, integrated and compliant Workday architecture that aligns business
requirements, system configuration, integrations, data, security, and controls—while
ensuring consistency across Finance and HCM domains.
What Makes This Role Different
This role demands first-hand experience building and operating Workday at enterprise
scale. Evaluate trade-offs between standard Workday capabilities and enterprise-
specific needs. Challenge system integrator designs using deep Workday knowledge,
and balance configurability, compliance, security, and long-term maintainability. The
Architect serves as the authoritative owner of the Workday platform architecture, not
simply an advisor or reviewer.
Key Responsibilities:
Workday Platform Architecture Ownership
 Define and own the end-to-end architecture for Workday Financials (and HCM),
including tenant management, security, BP Frameworks, integrations, reporting,
and data strategy.
 Define and maintain architectural standards, design principles, and configuration
guardrails across Workday modules.
 Ensure architectural alignment across Financials, Procurement, Accounting
Center, Prism, HCM, etc.
Solution Design and Governance

• Lead solution design for new integrations, enhancements, and releases across
Finance and HCM ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture.
• Lead design reviews and validate architecture decisions across modules and
integrations (including Accounting Center).
• Govern configuration decisions to eliminate technical debt and ensure long-term
platform scalability.
Integration, API, and Automation
• Build, and deploy integrations required for go-live, including Bank files
(payments, statements), Upstream/downstream financial systems, Payroll, tax,
expense, and reporting platforms leveraging Workday Orchestrate, Studio, Core
Connectors, EIBs, REST/SOAP APIs, etc.
• Design integrations between Workday Financials and surrounding enterprise
systems by defining API and microservices-based integration patterns.
• Establish standards for error handling, monitoring, reconciliation, and
automation.
• Design job scheduling and batch processing for financial operations and
reporting.
Compliance, Controls & Risk Management
• Ensure Workday architecture supports SOX, audit, privacy, and regulatory
requirements across Finance.
• Assess architectural risks and recommend mitigation strategies.
• Partner with Internal Audit, Security, and Risk teams to validate controls and
resolve findings.
Data and Analytics
• Define and execute data conversion strategy, including legacy data mapping,
historical and open balance loads, data validation, reconciliation, and sign-off
• Ensure secure handling of financial data and support audit and compliance
requirements.
• Support analytics and reporting solutions through enterprise data platforms and
BI tools.
Delivery & Implementation Partnership
• Partner closely with Program Managers, Product Owners, and Finance and HR
leadership during implementations and enhancements.
• Provide hands-on guidance with configuration, data migration, testing, and
deployment activities from a solution architecture perspective.
• Ensure data quality, reconciliation, and auditability across systems.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience delivering enterprise finance systems, including deep
hands-on Workday Financials experience (GL, AP, AR, Assets, Procurement,
Accounting Center/Prism, Reporting, etc.) and Workday HCM.
• 5+ years in a Workday Architect or senior technical leadership role, owning
cross-domain Finance and HCM architecture and integrations.
• Deep expertise in Workday integrations (Orchestrate, Studio, Core Connectors,
EIBs, APIs) and Accounting Center/Prism
• Proven experience designing and building integrations, APIs, and data solutions.
• Strong expertise in Workday security, business process frameworks,
integrations, and reporting.
• Experience supporting SOX, audit, data privacy, and internal control
requirements.
• Proven experience leading and governing system integrators and third-party
vendors.
• Strong executive communication skills with the ability to influence architectural
decisions.
• Workday certifications in Financials, Integrations, or Architecture.
