Job Description

Sr. Manager, Application Development (Workday)
Location: Chicago, IL - 5 days on site ( but will have 50 remote days to choose from +  every federal holiday off and the week of Christmas/new year's employees are completely remote.)
Duration: Long term contract
The biggest focus should be finding someone with the combination of deep Workday HR + Finance experience, technical credibility, AWS exposure, and strong senior leadership experience.
Role Overview
This person will support the HR and Finance space within the Workday ecosystem. They need to be both highly technical and a strong leader.
The role itself will not be hands-on day-to-day, but they need to have been hands-on with Workday throughout their career and stayed close enough to the technology to lead technical teams, challenge decisions, and speak confidently with senior leadership.
They will report to Steve and work closely with leaders across HR, Finance, IT, and potentially the CIO around deliverables, progress, and any issues impacting delivery.
Top Must-Haves
  • 8–10+ years of deep Workday experience preferred; 6–8 may work depending on depth
  • Experience across both Workday HR/HCM and Finance
  • Needs broad Workday ecosystem knowledge — not just one module
  • Should understand core HR areas such as HCM, payroll, recruiting, time tracking, etc., in addition to the Finance side
  • Strong technical/application development background
  • AWS is very important
  • Java/application development exposure
  • Strong leadership experience in addition to technical experience
  • Comfortable working directly with senior executives and business leaders
Workday Experience – Important Distinction
Someone who has only:
  • Administered Workday
  • Participated in one Workday implementation
  • Specialized in one module
  • Worked for a client that happens to use Workdaywill likely not have enough depth.
Consulting experience can work, but ideally, they have been consulting specifically within the Workday ecosystem and have had broad exposure across the platform.
