Allura Partners

Workday Data Lead / Permanent / Workday / $190,000 package Australia wide
About The Company
Our client is a major Australian financial services organisation. They're undertaking a full Workday transformation across HR, Payroll and Finance, with a strong AI-first agenda shaping how the business operates going forward.
About The Role
As the Workday Data Lead, you'll own the data workstream for a full Workday implementation end to end, from source extraction through to migration, transformation, validation and cutover. You'll work closely with the Systems Integrator, internal data team and business stakeholders, and this role has a clear path into a broader Data and AI remit once migration lands.
Benefits
Salary up to $190,000 package. Location is flexible anywhere in Australia, with hybrid working supported. This is a genuinely foundational role. You'll own the data strategy for a major HRIS transformation and be first in line for an expanded Data and AI role once the migration is complete. You'll work in a lean, hands-on team with real autonomy and senior stakeholder exposure, at an organisation that's serious about putting AI to work.
