We are building a community of people you have always wanted to work with again.
Most career paths in Workday land you in one of two places. Either you are embedded in a single organization, doing good work but limited by one environment, one roadmap, one team. Or you are consulting independently, with variety and autonomy but often without the community, stability, or shared purpose that makes work meaningful. Brillect's Workday Talent Practice is built for the people who want both. Senior advisors who share a standard, support each other, and are genuinely invested in doing great work together. If you have ever finished an engagement or a chapter of your career and thought, "I wish I could bottle that team," this is the answer to that.
This is not a traditional Workday configuration role.
We're looking for someone who can facilitate conversations, challenge assumptions, connect dots across functions, and help clients think beyond today's requirements.
The ideal candidate understands Workday configuration and design deeply but doesn't stop there. They can translate business goals into scalable solutions, identify downstream impacts before they become problems, and provide thoughtful recommendations—not simply execute requests.
This person is equally comfortable leading a strategic discussion with HR leadership as they are reviewing a business process, testing a configuration, or troubleshooting a complex issue.
What You'll Do
Consult and Advise
- Lead discovery and requirement sessions with HR and business leaders
- Help clients uncover what they truly need — not just what they initially ask for
- Offer thoughtful guidance on solution options, tradeoffs, and best practices
- Build trusted advisor relationships that go well beyond the project — because at Brillect, we're connected for life
Design and Solution
- Translate business requirements into scalable Workday solutions
- Lead design discussions across Core HCM, Talent, Recruiting, Security, Reporting, and related areas
- Think beyond immediate needs to ensure solutions support long-term growth
- Identify downstream impacts and potential pitfalls before they become problems
Configure and Deliver
- Lead and support Workday configuration activities
- Participate in testing strategy, test execution, defect resolution, and deployment readiness
- Validate that system designs meet business requirements and deliver the intended employee experience
- Troubleshoot issues and recommend practical improvements
- Support clients through implementation, optimization, and transformation efforts
Connect the Dots
- Partner across HR, IT, Finance, Payroll, and external vendors
- Translate between business, Workday, and implementation partner language
- Keep decisions are aligned across workstreams and stakeholders
- Help clients balance what they need now with what will serve them well later
What We're Looking For
Experience
- 5-7+ years of Workday functional consulting or concentrated HR technology experience
- Deep understanding of Workday Core HCM and related functional areas
- Experience leading requirements, design, configuration, testing, and deployment activities
- Ability to understand configuration impacts and cross-functional dependencies
- Exposure to integrations, reporting, security, or additional Workday modules is a plus
Traits That Matter
- Genuinely cares about the people they work with — clients, teammates, and end users alike
- Naturally curious, analytically sharp, and comfortable navigating ambiguity
- A clear, confident communicator — equally comfortable with executives and end users
- Confident providing recommendations and respectfully challenging assumptions when it matters
- Anticipates challenges before others notice them
- Balances big-picture thinking with sleeves-rolled-up execution
- Self-directed and ownership-oriented — you don't need a detailed playbook
- Committed to doing the right thing, even when no one is watching
What This Role Is Not
This is not a ticket-processing role. It's not a heads-down configuration seat. And it's not a place where success is measured by technical expertise alone.
This role is for someone who wants to influence outcomes, solve meaningful business problems, and build lasting relationships — while delivering exceptional Workday solutions.
