Following Are The Must Have Skills
<ul>
<li>5-8 years of total experience in enterprise applications / HR technology, including at least 3 years of direct hands-on Workday HCM configuration, implementation and/or production-support experience.</li>
<li>Mandatory Workday experience: the candidate must have personally configured Workday. Profiles limited to Workday end-user usage, HR operations, PMO/project coordination, UAT-only, reporting-only or vendor coordination without hands-on configuration should not be shortlisted.</li>
<li>Hands-on participation in at least one end-to-end Workday implementation or major rollout, preferably followed by post-go-live support, enhancement or AMS/application-management responsibility.</li>
<li>Strong Workday functional knowledge in Core HCM and employee lifecycle processes. Practical exposure to additional areas such as Recruiting, Onboarding, Absence, Talent/Performance, Learning or Compensation is desirable depending on project scope. Payroll processing itself is outside the core role; understanding Workday-to-payroll interfaces is sufficient.</li>
<li>Strong hands-on Workday Business Process configuration capability: BP definitions, approval/action/review steps, routing, condition rules, validations, notifications, alerts, exception paths and troubleshooting of stuck/incorrectly routed events.</li>
<li>Strong Workday security knowledge including security groups, role assignments, domain security policies, Business Process security policies, View/Modify and integration permissions, least-privilege principles and security troubleshooting.</li>
<li>Strong Workday reporting capability including custom reports, advanced reporting concepts, calculated fields, dashboards/audit reports, scheduled outputs and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) where appropriate.</li>
<li>Strong Workday integration knowledge with hands-on exposure to Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) inbound/outbound integrations and delivered/Core Connectors, plus working knowledge of Workday Web Services/APIs (REST/SOAP), RaaS, SFTP/file-based interfaces and integration-system security.</li>
<li>Ability to monitor and troubleshoot Workday integrations: review integration events, schedules, source/target data, mappings, error messages, authentication/security issues and failed loads; coordinate effectively with Workday Studio/integration developers when advanced development is required.</li>
<li>Experience with Workday data migration, mass-load or conversion activities including data mapping, data cleansing, EIB/template preparation, reconciliation, exception handling and cutover validation.</li>
<li>Strong Workday testing capability covering SIT, UAT, regression testing, Business Process scenarios, security-role testing, integration testing, defect reproduction, retesting and evidence-based closure.</li>
<li>Experience supporting Workday release/update cycles, including impact review, testing in available non-production/preview environments, regression of critical Business Processes/integrations and post-release validation.</li>
<li>Ability to diagnose whether a Workday issue is caused by Business Process configuration, condition logic, security, data, calculated fields/report logic, integration, tenant configuration or product behavior before escalating it.</li>
<li>Ability to create and maintain Workday configuration workbooks, BP inventory, security matrix, report/calculated-field catalogue, integration catalogue, SOPs, support runbooks and knowledge articles.</li>
<li>Good technical understanding of XML/JSON, REST/SOAP concepts, SFTP, authentication/SSO and API troubleshooting. Familiarity with tools such as Postman or equivalent is desirable; coding is not mandatory for the core role.</li>
<li>Strong stakeholder and vendor-management skills with the confidence to work directly with HR process owners, challenge poor design, validate Workday partner solutions, obtain knowledge transfer and avoid unnecessary external dependency.</li>
</ul>
Good to have skills and will be considered a plus:
<ul>
<li>Hands-on Workday Studio experience for complex integrations; exposure to Workday Orchestrate or other advanced Workday integration tooling will be a strong advantage.</li>
<li>Workday certification, Workday Pro/accreditation or formal Workday training in HCM, Business Process, Security, Reporting or Integration areas, where available to the candidate.</li>
<li>Experience integrating Workday with SAP S/4HANA, Odoo or other ERP platforms, Microsoft Entra ID/Microsoft 365, SSO/provisioning solutions and enterprise identity platforms.</li>
<li>Experience with biometric/time-attendance systems and Workday inbound/outbound interfaces supporting distributed-site attendance or workforce data.</li>
<li>Experience using Power BI or similar analytics tools for validating Workday data, reconciliation and management dashboards beyond standard Workday reporting.</li>
<li>Workday experience in a multi-company / multi-country environment, particularly manufacturing, mining, FMCG, logistics, engineering or another distributed-workforce industry.</li>
<li>Experience supporting Africa/MEA operations or working with geographically distributed teams is an advantage; basic French would be useful for DRC coordination but is not mandatory.</li>
</ul>
