About the Role

xAmplify is building its Workday capability and this role is the first hire on our Workday team.

We’re looking for a senior, hands‑on Workday Functional Consultant who wants more than just another implementation role. This is a unique opportunity to design, own, and scale our internal Workday environment across Finance and HR, then play a key role as we gradually expand into external consulting services.

If you enjoy autonomy, influence, and building something meaningful from scratch, this role was created for you.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

As our founding Workday consultant, you will:

  • Lead end‑to‑end Workday implementations and optimisation across Workday HCM and Workday Financials
  • Act as the internal subject matter expert for Workday, partnering closely with HR, Finance, IT, and senior stakeholders
  • Gather business requirements and translate them into scalable Workday configurations
  • Configure, test, deploy, and support Workday modules across HR and Finance
  • Own functional design decisions, system documentation, training materials, and governance
  • Support data validation, testing cycles, and user adoption activities
  • Advise leaders on best practices, system enhancements, and roadmap planning
  • Help establish the foundations for a future Workday consulting practice, including mentoring and capability building as the team grows
  • Over time, support external client implementations and advisory work

What We’re Looking For

Essential Experience

  • 7+ years of Workday implementation experience
  • Proven experience implementing both Workday HCM and Workday Financials
  • Active Workday certifications in HCM and Financials
  • Experience leading full lifecycle implementations (requirements through post go‑live support)
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
  • Ability to operate autonomously and make senior‑level design decisions

Highly Regarded

  • Experience building or leading a Workday function or team
  • Consulting or client‑facing Workday experience
  • Knowledge of integrations, security, reporting, or analytics
  • A builder mindset — comfortable with ambiguity and growth
