This position is ideal for someone who brings a broad HR technology consulting background, enjoys working in a client-facing environment, and is passionate about enabling HR transformation through technology.  What truly sets this opportunity apart is working on impactful, global HR transformation initiatives, exposure to a wide range of HR processes and technologies and working in a collaborative, consulting-oriented environment with room for growth. 

The key responsibilities of the role include:
· Consult on HR Technology projects, supporting the design, configuration, and optimization of Workday HCM and related functionality.

· Advise on HR process design and system best practices across core HCM areas such as worker data, business processes, security, and reporting.
· Analyze system impacts and data dependencies to ensure integrated, sustainable solutions.
· Support change management, user adoption, and post-deployment stabilization efforts.
· Collaborate with cross-functional teams (integration, reporting, data, and change) to deliver high-quality HR technology outcomes.

Skills/Qualifications:
· Experience consulting on HR Technology implementations or enhancements in a client-facing or advisory role.
· Hands-on experience with Workday HCM, including configuration and business process framework.
· Exposure to additional Workday modules (e.g., Talent, Recruiting, Time, or Compensation) is a plus but not required.
· Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
· Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, project-based environment.
