Role details
Workday HCM lead role, greenfield Kinetic implementation, shaping how a business runs its people processes from the ground up.
You'll own the Workday HCM workstream within a Kinetic implementation, working across core HR, absence, and related modules to configure, test, and deliver a solution that actually fits how the business operates. Day-to-day you'll be the bridge between HR stakeholders and the technical team, translating business requirements into Workday configuration and keeping the delivery on track.
This is a lead role, so you'll have real ownership over your workstream. You won't be handed a rigid playbook and told to follow it. The team wants someone who can bring their own experience to the table and make considered decisions about how things get built. If you've led Workday HCM workstreams before, you'll know the kind of autonomy that comes with that, and this role offers it.
Kinetic implementations move at pace and there's genuine complexity here. You'll need to be comfortable managing competing priorities and keeping stakeholders aligned without losing momentum on delivery. The upside is that greenfield work like this is where you get to set the standard, not inherit someone else's decisions.
What You'll Do
- Lead the Workday HCM workstream across a Kinetic implementation, covering configuration, testing, and go-live.
- Gather and translate HR business requirements into Workday design and configuration decisions.
- Manage relationships with HR stakeholders, keeping them informed and engaged throughout delivery.
- Support testing cycles including SIT and UAT, resolving issues and documenting outcomes clearly.
What You'll Need
- Proven experience leading Workday HCM workstreams on end-to-end implementations, ideally within a Kinetic context.
- Strong configuration experience across core Workday HCM modules such as core HR, absence, and compensation.
- Experience running stakeholder workshops and translating business requirements into system design.
