We are seeking a senior Workday consultant to help lead an ongoing Workday HCM and Financials implementation. The consultant will coordinate stakeholders across IT, Finance, HR, implementation partners, and vendors to ensure successful deployment and post-go-live stabilization.

This individual must be comfortable driving timelines, managing risks, and operating in a fast-paced environment with executive visibility.
Scope Confirmed on Intake
- Implementing Workday HCM and Financials with a hard January 1 go-live.
- Payroll will be outsourced, but Workday will integrate with the payroll provider
- Financials side has unique / complex integrations; HCM remains important.
- Ideal profile: strongest on Workday Financials + complex integrations, with solid HCM go-live experience (financial services / multi-entity preferred).
Must-Haves (Candidate Profile)
- Proven Workday implementation PM experience (not HRIS support-only).
- HCM go-live experience AND Financials experience (Financials + complex integrations weighted higher).

Nice-to-Haves
- Prior go-live of HCM + Financials in the same rollout.
