We are seeking a
Workday SME / HR Systems Lead
for a 12-month contract engagement. This is not an implementation-focused role. Rather, we are looking for a true Workday subject matter expert with deep hands-on knowledge of Workday HCM and Recruitment, and the ability to assess issues, troubleshoot effectively, and recommend practical solutions within a tenant-based environment.
This position serves as a critical bridge between the business and the parent company, which retains ownership of Workday configuration. The successful candidate will act as the primary liaison to evaluate system-related issues, identify workarounds, recommend enhancements, and help guide change requests through the appropriate channels.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as the Workday subject matter expert and primary point of triage for HR systems-related issues.
Diagnose system challenges and recommend appropriate workarounds, improvements, or enhancements.
Translate business needs and system requirements to the parent company and external Workday support team.
Support the optimization and effective use of the HCM,



Total Rewards, and Recruitment modules.
Partner closely with internal stakeholders and provide leadership to a small team, including two direct reports.
Qualifications
Deep, hands-on expertise in Workday, with strong knowledge of HCM, Total Rewards and Recruitment
Transparent understanding of a tenant-based model where configuration is owned externally
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot issues, assess business needs, and guide solutions without direct configuration access
Experience working with external, shared-service, or parent-company Workday teams
Strong communication, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills
This is an excellent opportunity for a highly knowledgeable Workday professional who can effectively navigate system limitations, influence change, and serve as the key link between business needs and technical delivery.
