Workday Adaptive Consultant

The Workday Adaptive Planning Senior Candidate is a hands-on configuration and build role within our EPM delivery practice. Working closely with an Engagement Lead, this candidate owns the technical construction of client Adaptive environments — from security and tenant setup through integrations and testing — and contributes to design decisions and solution quality throughout the project lifecycle.

This role is ideal for a practitioner who has built and configured Adaptive Planning environments end-to-end and is ready to deepen their expertise across a variety of client contexts, including public sector and higher education engagements.

Key Responsibilities

• Configure and build Workday Adaptive Planning environments per approved design specifications, covering security, model structure, dimensions, sheets, and formulas.
• Own security configuration end-to-end — design and implement role-based access, troubleshoot access issues, and maintain security documentation.
• Administer and manage tenant environments, including environment provisioning, deployment support, and coordination of release tasks.
• Build and support integrations — construct data loads and mappings, configure scheduling and monitoring, and lead troubleshooting of integration failures.
• Execute structured testing cycles (SIT and UAT) — author and execute test scripts, log defects, manage retest cycles, and produce reconciliation evidence.
• Support the Engagement Lead on solution design, client workshops, and delivery planning as needed.
• Maintain clear, thorough documentation throughout the engagement, including configuration workbooks, test evidence packages, and operational runbooks.

Required Qualifications Candidates must demonstrate direct, hands-on experience in all of the following areas:

Workday Adaptive Planning Implementation

• Prior implementation experience with hands-on build and configuration (not advisory-only)
• Ability to independently configure model components — dimensions, levels, sheets, cube sheets, and formulas

Security Configuration

• Proven experience designing and implementing role-based access and security structures
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot access and permission issues independently

Tenant Administration & Management

• Experience supporting multi-environment deployments (development, staging, production)
• Familiarity with tenant release coordination and basic platform administration tasks

Integration Build & Support

• Hands-on experience building data loads, field mappings, and scheduled integration jobs
• Proficiency troubleshooting integration failures — including data quality, mapping errors, and scheduling issues

Testing Execution

• Experience authoring and executing SIT and UAT test scripts
• Skilled in defect logging, retest cycle management, and producing reconciliation documentation

Preferred Qualifications

• Public Sector or Higher Education implementation exposure — familiarity with the compliance, governance, and structural nuances of these markets
• Experience with workforce planning constructs such as positions and compensation drivers, and/or FP&A modules (capital planning, revenue planning, etc.)
• Strong documentation habits — a track record of producing clear configuration workbooks, test evidence packages, and operational runbooks without being prompted
