Workday Master Architect (Tenant Health & Process Transformation)

Key Responsibilities ● Conduct a comprehensive, end-to-end technical audit of the live Workday tenant configuration to map legacy technical debt and identify systemic points of failure. ● Review all current worker data mappings, duplicate job profiles, and reporting gaps that currently restrict accurate workforce tracking and cross-functional reporting. ● Evaluate existing Workday Business Processes BPs and notification frameworks to distinguish between minor process gaps and fundamentally flawed architectures. ● Systematically dismantle and rebuild "clogged," overly rigid, or non-standard workflows (such as over-engineered, multi-level approval matrices). ● Streamline cross-functional security group assignments, permission hierarchies, and collaborative intersections between different HR modules. ● Distinguish where the engagement should remain advisory vs. where hands-on configuration/reconfiguration support is required to address technical debt. ● Support stakeholder alignment across HR leaders, Finance executives, People Service Center PSC, and GTS Service Owners to translate technical system limitations into clear strategic choices. Expected Deliverables in First 36 Months ● Comprehensive end-to-end technical audit of the live Workday tenant configuration mapping technical debt. ● Detailed Remediation Plan outlining critical configurations that must be optimized, modernized, or decommissioned. ● Standardized "Acquisition Profile Template" to build repeatable, plug-and-play scaling for future M&A onboarding workstreams. ● Strategic Audit Report containing comprehensive tenant findings and a definitive technical recommendation advising leadership whether to proceed on an iterative Reconfiguration path or execute a Greenfield Reimplementation. ● Re-engineered, streamlined Workday Business Process BP workflows and security-group permission hierarchies. Required Experience ● Proven track record acting as a Workday Master Architect, Solution Architect, or Principal Consultant, with deep hands-on configuration expertise across Core HCM, Compensation, Benefits, Absence, and Time Tracking modules. ● Extensive background leading multi-market Workday tenant audits, data-cleansing strategies, and complex instance remediation for technology enterprises scaling beyond 10,000 workers. ● Demonstrated capacity to evaluate enterprise-scale instances and deliver comprehensive cost-benefit/risk analyses comparing complex reconfiguration options against full greenfield reimplementations. ● Expert-level knowledge of Workday Business Process BP architecture, configuration dependencies, security-group modeling, and custom conditional routing rules. ● Ability to operate as a consultative partner, working across business, HR, IT, and architecture stakeholders to translate highly technical system limitations into clear strategic choices. Preferred Experience ● Strong technical comprehension of how core Workday data transformations impact downstream enterprise applications (such as Oracle ERP, Oracle EPM, SmartRecruiters, and custom middleware layers). ● Experience moving from strategy and comprehensive health audits to complex tenant remediation or full greenfield reimplementation delivery in complex environments. ● Familiarity with building robust data foundations for future enterprise AI/automation adoption and Agentic AI capabilities. leadership.
