Location: UK (remote with travel as needed)

Type: Full-Time

About the Role:

Our client is a global consultancy looking for a Workday Solutions Architect with deep expertise in Workday Financials. In this role, you’ll act as the strategic link between pre-sales and delivery, helping shape tailored Workday Financials solutions that align with client objectives, delivery best practices, and platform scalability.

You’ll be responsible for translating commercial opportunities into viable solution designs and ensuring a smooth transition into delivery. This role is ideal for someone who can balance functional understanding with architectural thinking, and who thrives in a client-facing, consultative environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the bridge between business development and delivery teams, supporting pre-sales efforts, solution design, and project estimation for Workday Financials.
• Lead and facilitate early-stage discovery workshops with clients to understand financial transformation needs.
• Define end-to-end Workday Financials architectures, covering modules such as Core Finance, Procurement, Projects, Expenses, and Reporting.
• Translate business goals into scalable solution designs, integration approaches, and delivery plans.
• Develop and validate solution documentation, high-level effort estimates, and delivery approaches as part of bids, RFPs, and proposals.
• Collaborate with delivery teams to ensure smooth hand-off from pre-sales into implementation, staying involved through initial project stages as the solution lead.
• Guide internal teams and clients on Workday best practices, innovation areas, and common pitfalls in finance transformations.
• Contribute to internal frameworks, accelerators, and solution templates to improve consistency and scale across future implementations.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 4+ years of hands-on Workday experience, with a primary focus on Workday Financials (2+ end-to-end implementations).
• Strong functional understanding of Workday modules such as Procurement, Projects, Supplier Accounts, Expenses, and Reporting.
• Proven track record supporting pre-sales or early-stage solutioning within a consulting or Workday partner environment.
• Strong communication and consulting skills - able to simplify complex financial and technical concepts for business stakeholders.
• Experience developing solution blueprints, architecture overviews, and integration strategy documents.
• Familiarity with Workday integration methods (EIB, Studio, Core Connectors) and data migration principles.
• Ability to work collaboratively with sales, finance leaders, solution consultants, and delivery teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Workday Financials Pro Certification or module-specific training.
• Experience in client-facing consultancy roles within Finance, Shared Services, or ERP transformations.
• Background in Finance or Accounting (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) is highly advantageous.
• Exposure to Adaptive Planning, Prism Analytics, or integrations with SAP, Concur, ADP, or legacy ERP systems.
