What you'll do

• Lead discovery sessions to capture absence and time tracking requirements across client organisations
• Configure Workday Absence Management: accrual rules, eligibility rules, absence plans, and calendars
• Configure Workday Time Tracking: time entry templates, time calculations, overtime rules, and scheduling

• Produce functional specifications, configuration workbooks, and test scripts
• Troubleshoot production issues and recommend fixes within Workday best practice

• 3+ years' hands-on Workday configuration experience in Absence Management and/or Time Tracking
• At least one full lifecycle implementation (design through go-live)
• Strong understanding of accrual calculations, overtime rules, and complex scheduling patterns
• Experience gathering requirements directly from client stakeholders, not just internal teams
• Comfortable working across multiple concurrent client engagements
• Clear written and verbal communication — you'll be presenting to executive sponsors
• Workday Pro Certification in Absence Management and/or Time Tracking preferred

If you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us!
