Practice Leader – Adaptive from Workday

Revelwood, a premier FP&A technology consultancy with over 30 years of industry leadership, is seeking an experienced, entrepreneurial Practice Leader to spearhead the next chapter of our Adaptive from Workday practice.

For the past eight years, Revelwood has partnered with finance teams across North America to deploy and optimize Adaptive from Workday. As market dynamics shift and FP&A demands evolve, we are positioning the practice for its next phase of scale and impact. This high-visibility, "player-coach" role is designed for an experienced practitioner who wants the strategic autonomy to revitalize delivery methodologies, mentor a dedicated team, and partner directly with executive leadership and business development to drive practice growth.

• Innovate Delivery Methodologies: Continuously refine Revelwood’s implementation frameworks, proprietary models, and reusable assets to reduce time-to-value for clients and scale service delivery.

Delivery Excellence & Client Advisory

• Executive Project Oversight: Serve as the strategic advisor and escalation lead across client engagements, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and to the highest standard of client satisfaction.
• Hands-on Solution Architecture: Maintain player-coach involvement on complex or flagship implementations, translating complex financial planning and reporting requirements into scalable Adaptive models.
• Executive Engagement: Build trusted relationships with CFOs, VPs of Finance, and enterprise project sponsors, acting as a credible advisor on financial planning transformation.
