Senior Workday HCM Consultant

  • Workday
  • Contract
  • Full-time
  • Remote (United States)
  • Full-time: $130k–$170k / year

About the role

You will lead HCM design on new deployments and on tenants that are already live, working with HR leaders and HRIS teams to set up the organization, the core processes and the security around them. See how we deliver Workday Human Capital Management.

What you will do

  • Design supervisory, cost center and company organizations, job architecture and positions.
  • Configure core HCM business processes: hire, change job, terminate, and their approvals.
  • Set up recruiting, onboarding, absence, time tracking, compensation or talent, depending on the engagement.
  • Design role-based security and test it with the client’s HR and IT teams.
  • Lead worker data conversion and reconciliation.
  • Train HRIS administrators to run and extend the configuration after go-live.

What you bring

  • Five or more years of hands-on Workday HCM work, including at least two full-cycle implementations.
  • A current Workday HCM certification.
  • Depth in at least one of recruiting, absence and time, compensation or talent.
  • Clear communication with HR leaders who aren’t technical.

Nice to have

  • Workday Payroll or Benefits.
  • Workday security and business process audits.
  • Experience in healthcare, higher education or professional services.

How we work

  • Direct client work. You work with the client’s finance, HR and IT teams yourself, with no layers of account managers in between.
  • Small, senior teams. The consultants who scope the work deliver it, with a senior Cogleus lead on every engagement.
  • Remote across the United States. If an engagement needs time on site, we tell you before you start.
  • Room to grow. Our projects span Workday, Oracle EPM and ERP, and Google Cloud, so your work doesn’t have to stop at one module.
