Workday HCM Consultant | 2 Month Contract (Fully Remote)
Hale International is seeking an experienced Workday HCM Consultant to support a busy HRIS team at a critical time.
This is a hands-on, broad functional role for someone who can quickly assess issues, troubleshoot existing configuration and integrations, and independently manage work from requirements through to testing and deployment.
The initial focus will sit across Core HCM, Recruiting, Talent, Performance and Compensation, with upcoming work including job-definition consolidation, Merit support, an onboarding/Journeys project and ongoing Workday improvements.
Key Responsibilities:
- Troubleshoot and resolve Workday configuration issues across Core HCM, Recruiting, Talent, Performance and Compensation.
- Support the consolidation and standardisation of job definitions.
- Provide hands-on support ahead of Merit season.
- Support a forthcoming onboarding project, with a focus on Workday Journeys.
- Gather requirements, recommend practical solutions and manage configuration changes through testing and deployment.
- Work directly with stakeholders to understand issues, advise on Workday best practice and communicate clear next steps.
- Assess Security and Business Process impacts across functional changes.
- Investigate integration issues, identify the likely cause and coordinate resolution; net-new integration development is not required.
- Support wider HRIS improvements and react to urgent BAU issues as priorities change.
- Provide technical guidance and help reduce pressure on the internal HRIS team.
Qualifications:
- Strong hands-on Workday configuration experience across Core HCM, Recruiting, Talent, Performance and Compensation.
- Broad functional experience is essential; this is not a role for someone focused solely on one or two modules.
- Strong understanding of Workday Security and Business Processes.
- Experience troubleshooting existing Workday integrations, including identifying data, configuration, security, or process-related causes.
- Proven experience gathering requirements, configuring solutions, testing changes, and supporting production deployment.
- Exposure to Workday Journeys and onboarding configuration is highly beneficial.
- Data-management, reporting, auditing, or Snowflake experience would be advantageous, but is not essential.
- Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities.
Contract Details:
- Fully remote.
- 40 hours per week.
- Initial 6–8-week contract, with potential to extend.
- Immediate start required.
If you are a hands-on Workday HCM Consultant who can independently troubleshoot, advise, and deliver across a broad functional landscape, we would love to hear from you.
