Job Description
Workday Finance Lead
The Opportunity
A major public sector body is undergoing a massive ERP transformation and needs a heavyweight Workday Finance Lead to provide the technical authority and strategic direction for their Workday Financial Management platform.
This isn't just about hands-on configuration; it's a high-profile, senior role sitting at the heart of a complex shared services environment, where you will shape solutions, steer senior stakeholders, and elevate the team's delivery capability.
If you are looking for a role where you can move away from just closing tickets and instead take true ownership of a massive, business-critical system architecture, this is it.
What You'll Be Doing
You will act as the ultimate subject matter authority across the full Workday Financials suite (GL, AP, AR, Expenses, Assets, and Reporting). On any given day, you will be providing technical assurance and peer-reviewing designs from third-party partners, leading complex workshops to translate business needs into robust system blueprints, and mentoring a team of consultants and analysts. It is a fast-paced blend of high-level solution design, release governance, and acting as the senior escalation point for complex issues that require deep architectural insight.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We Need From You
Senior Workday Expertise: Significant experience configuring, implementing, or supporting Workday Financial Management at a senior or lead level. Technical Assurance and Leadership: A proven track record of overseeing system designs, managing ticket queues/SLAs, and supervising or coaching other consultants and analysts. Process Mastery: A deep, end-to-end understanding of finance operations inside massive, highly complex organisations. Senior Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence finance leaders, architects, and system integrators.
