Role: Workday Integration Architect
Location: Remote
senior Workday consultant to diagnose, not build — audit their existing Workday config and integrations, find what''s broken or inefficient, and hand back a prioritized fix-it roadmap.
The real problem behind it: They''re likely living with data inconsistencies, manual workarounds, integration failures, and reporting gaps across HR/Payroll/Finance, and want an outside expert to name the root causes (config vs. design vs. governance vs. technical debt) without internal politics.
The actual deliverable is a decision, not code: Six artifacts (health assessment → friction analysis → root-cause summary → future-state principles → phased roadmap → exec presentation) that let leadership decide where to invest — so the value is diagnosis, business-impact framing, and trade-offs, not hands-on configuration.
What "wins" the engagement: A consultant who can interview stakeholders, quantify impact (time/cost/risk/compliance, plus AI-enablement upside), and translate technical findings into an executive narrative — strong problem-structuring matters more than build skills here.
Bottom line / staffing read: They want a seasoned advisory-grade Workday integrations architect (global-enterprise experience,) for a fixed-scope strategic assessment — essentially a "Workday optimization health-check" with a CFO/CHRO-ready roadmap at the end.
