If so, apply now for this new permanent role.

This role could be based in either central London or Sunderland and will require 3 days per week onsite in your base location.

The Senior Functional Consultant for Workday Talent and Performance will be joining at a time of significant investment and transformation in the way that the organisation uses Workday. You'll be the SME for Workday Talent & Performance and will be key in driving its adoption by the business as well as continuous enhancements to its functionality. You will also act as an escalation point for queries relating to other modules including Core HCM, Recruitment, Time and Absence, Comp and Advanced Comp etc.

This strategic role is responsible for the delivery and continuous improvement of Talent and Performance processes within Workday, ensuring optimal configuration, security, and business process alignment.

Although your core focus will be the Talent & Performance module, the Senior Workday Functional Consultant will support junior analysts with other modules where possible, as well as partnering with stakeholders to maximise the value add to the business.

• Lead and maintain Workday Talent and Performance modules, including upgrades and change requests
• Develop and deliver a roadmap for Talent and Performance enhancements
• Facilitate workshops and demos to promote understanding and adoption of Workday, reducing off‑system processes
• Own communications across relevant workstreams, gathering feedback and driving engagement
• Partner with stakeholders to identify and implement continuous improvements
• Configure and maintain reports, business processes, and security policies
• Test new functionality and manage incident resolution within SLA guidelines
• Leverage Workday Community and Success Plans to stay aligned with best practices
• Support training activities and maintain user documentation

To be successful in this role, the Senior Functional Consultant will ideally have completed 1-2 cycles using Workday Talent & Performance.

This is an exceptional opportunity to make a real impact at a time when the business is supercharging its use of Workday. There is a shared ambition internally to make full use of the systems capabilities and you'll be supported in achieving this.

The salary and package is flexible depending on experience and this can be discussed directly. Please apply to be considered and we will be in touch if the opportunity is a good fit.
