Lead Workday HCM Architect

Workday HCM Solution Architect

We are hiring a hands-on Workday Solution Architect to own platform design as the organization grows. This person sets design direction across HCM modules, leads priority projects from requirements through go-live, and makes sure the tenant is built to scale.

• Set and document standards for configuration, security, and design decisions

• Review Workday releases and new functionality, including AI features, and recommend what to adopt

• Advise HR, Compensation, Talent, Payroll, and Benefits leaders, and mentor the HRIS analyst team

• Simplify existing configuration and reduce technical debt

What you'll bring

• 6+ years of Workday experience with hands-on configuration across multiple HCM modules (Core HCM, Compensation, Talent and Performance, Absence, Benefits, Recruiting, Payroll)

• A track record of architecting or redesigning Workday for scale, beyond maintaining what exists
