About the Team

Employees are our #1 value. We’re an agile organisation that’s constantly looking for ways to improve, with a sharp focus on the value we deliver to our customers — working closely with people to get fast feedback and reach the right outcomes.

You’ll be joining the APAC Technical Services team, part of Workday’s Global Services organization dedicated to implementing our cloud-based software. We own the Data Conversion, Integration, and Extend workstreams on Workday implementation projects. As a diverse group driven by a passion for our customers’ success, we provide the leadership and technical expertise that guides customers efficiently through their deployments — it’s an exciting, fast-paced, and rewarding place to grow your career!

About the Role

As a Senior Integration Consultant, you’ll play a key role in delivering successful Workday Student deployments, leading integration architecture and providing advisory support to implementation partners across the full project lifecycle. You’ll work closely with customers, partners, project managers, functional consultants, technical teams, architects, and third-party vendors to define the integration strategy, shape scalable solution designs, and connect Workday Student with the wider higher education technology landscape.

You’ll bring strong technical problem-solving skills, a solid grasp of integration architecture and delivery methods, and the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. You’ll help partners and customers understand integration requirements, weigh up design options, resolve technical challenges, and adopt Workday implementation best practices.

You’ll support integrations across key Workday Student areas, including:

• Student records, admissions, curriculum, registration, and enrolment
• Academic advising, student success, progression, completion, and graduation
• Student financials, financial aid, scholarships, payments, and sponsorships
• Identity management, learning management systems, reporting, analytics, and compliance platforms
• Third-party higher education applications, including timetabling, exams, document management, campus services, and partner solutions

As a senior member of the team, you’ll lead design discussions, provide technical assurance, contribute reusable integration patterns, and help drive high-quality outcomes for our higher education customers. Success in this role comes from being self-motivated, customer-focused, organized, and reliable, with strong follow-through and consulting skills.

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you’ll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote “home office” roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
