Workday Implementation Consultant

Position Overview - Workday Implementation Consultant

Optomi is seeking a Workday Strategic Sourcing Implementation Consultant to support a major transformation of its contracting and sourcing processes.

The organization is preparing to implement three integrated Workday solutions:

• Workday Contract Intelligence (Evisort)
• Workday Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM)
• Workday Strategic Sourcing (WSS)

The implementation is expected to span approximately 20–25 weeks and will modernize contracting processes, strengthen its contract repository, streamline sourcing workflows, and introduce a more integrated, AI-enabled approach to contract management.

This individual will serve as an extension of the sourcing and contracting team, providing hands-on functional and operational support throughout the implementation. This is not a traditional Project Manager or IT role; the ideal candidate combines strong Workday product knowledge with an understanding of how sourcing and contracting organizations operate.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the implementation of Workday Contract Intelligence/Evisort, CLM, and Strategic Sourcing.
• Partner with sourcing, contracting, Workday, IT, and implementation teams throughout the project.
• Assist with front-end Workday configuration, workflow development, and functional implementation decisions.
• Help design and document contracting and sourcing workflows, including process maps and Visio diagrams.
• Support contract and sourcing processes involving terms and conditions, payment terms, approvals, workflows, and related documentation.
• Prepare and organize implementation documents, files, and data.
• Assist with data and document movement into the new Workday environment.
• Complete weekly implementation requirements and project deliverables.
• Participate in implementation meetings and help drive follow-up activities to completion.
• Provide hands-on operational support to ensure the new processes and systems align with the needs of the sourcing and contracting organization.

Required Qualifications

• Strong understanding of how a sourcing and/or contracting department operates.
• Hands-on experience working in sourcing, procurement, contracting, or a closely related function strongly preferred.
• Experience with Workday Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM).
• Experience with Workday Strategic Sourcing (WSS).
• Experience with Evisort / Workday Contract Intelligence (CI).
• Understanding of contract processes, including terms and conditions, payment terms, approvals, workflows, and contract documentation.
• Ability to navigate Workday from a functional perspective and contribute to configuration and workflow decisions.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage documents, data, deliverables, and implementation activities.

Preferred Background

A few years of relevant sourcing, contracting, procurement, or Workday implementation experience is preferred; however, depth of hands-on experience with Workday Contract Intelligence, CLM, and Strategic Sourcing is more important than a specific number of years of experience.

The strongest candidate will be comfortable operating between the business and technology sides of the implementation—understanding sourcing and contracting processes while also being technically capable enough to work directly within Workday and support configuration, workflows, and implementation activities.
