The Opportunity
We're looking for experienced Advanced Compensation Consultants and Architects to partner with our global clients, ensuring they maximize their Workday investment. If you thrive on solving high-complexity problems, mentoring others, and delivering flawless customer service, we want you to Act Like an Owner on our team.
This role is for a self-starter who can confidently lead projects from design through deployment across multiple, concurrent clients. You’ll be the trusted expert responsible for turning client requirements into best-in-class Workday solutions.
What You'll Own
- Implementation & Configuration: Design, configure, test, and deploy Workday solutions for global customers, adapting flexibly to their evolving needs across various HCM module(s).
- Strategic Consulting: Conduct detailed working sessions to gather and analyze business requirements. You’ll assess needs, propose alternative solutions, and advise clients on Workday best practices and process improvements.
- Project Leadership: Lead medium to high-complexity projects (like acquisitions or Phase X rollouts) through the full lifecycle, managing scope, quality, and timelines with no supervision.
- Delivery Excellence: Drive high client satisfaction by building strong relationships and consistently delivering impeccable service, meeting key performance indicators (KPIs) like utilization and CSAT scores.
- Mentorship & Knowledge: Act as a mentor, coach, and reviewer for less experienced team members. You'll contribute actively to our knowledge repository, sharing best practices and innovative deployment approaches.
- Deep Troubleshooting: Perform root cause analysis on client issues and implement effective, well-researched corrective measures.
