Job description

Overview

Your work days are brighter here. At Workday, it all began with a conversation over breakfast. When our founders met at a sunny California diner, they came up with an idea to revolutionize the enterprise software market. We are guided by a culture that puts people first and values a healthy, employee-centric environment where happiness, development, and contribution of every Workmate are central. We encourage you to shine and bring your brightest version of you for a brighter work day.

At Workday, we value candidates’ privacy and data security. Workday will never ask candidates to apply to jobs through websites that are not Workday Careers. Be aware of sites asking you to input data for a Workday posting that is not from Workday. Workday will never ask candidates to pay a recruiting fee or pay for consulting or coaching services to apply for a job at Workday.

About the Team

We place great value on career growth, learning and collaboration. Employees are our #1 value! We are an agile organization focused on improving the value we deliver to customers with fast feedback and the right outcomes. The Workday Extend Services team focuses on the implementation of custom business applications or application extensions using the Workday Extend platform and tooling. Extend Services sits within Workday’s Global Technical Services organization dedicated to the implementation of Workday Extend applications across all Industries and Geographies. We help customers make the most of the Workday platform!

About the Role

The Workday Extend Services Consultant designs, develops, and deploys Workday Extend applications for Workday customers. These applications run alongside Workday’s Human Resources, Financial Management, and Student Information Systems.

We are looking for hardworking professionals with Workday or similar experience who are passionate about customer success, deployment breakthroughs, and delivering inspired applications.

You will work directly with our customers to craft and develop innovative solutions to business challenges. You’ll lead discovery sessions with customer domain specialists across various technical and product areas to assemble requirements and deliver accurate design documentation. You will build and review technical designs that are consistent, maintainable, flexible and efficient.

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.
