Finance Lead - Workday

Job Description:

Workday Finance Lead The Opportunity

A major public sector body is undergoing a massive ERP transformation and needs a heavyweight Workday Finance Lead to provide the technical authority and strategic direction for their Workday Financial Management platform.

This isn't just about hands-on configuration; it's a high-profile, senior role sitting at the heart of a complex shared services environment, where you will shape solutions, steer senior stakeholders, and elevate the team's delivery capability.

If you are looking for a role where you can move away from just closing tickets and instead take true ownership of a massive, business-critical system architecture, this is it.

What You'll Be Doing

You will act as the ultimate subject matter authority across the full Workday Financials suite (GL, AP, AR, Expenses, Assets, and Reporting). On any given day, you will be providing technical assurance and peer-reviewing designs from third-party partners, leading complex workshops to translate business needs into robust system blueprints, and mentoring a team of consultants and analysts. It is a fast-paced blend of high-level solution design, release governance, and acting as the senior escalation point for complex issues that require deep architectural insight.

What We Need From You

• Senior Workday Expertise: Significant experience configuring, implementing, or supporting Workday Financial Management at a senior or lead level.
• Technical Assurance and Leadership: A proven track record of overseeing system designs, managing ticket queues/SLAs, and supervising or coaching other consultants and analysts.
• Process Mastery: A deep, end-to-end understanding of finance operations inside massive, highly complex organisations.
• Senior Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence finance leaders, architects, and system integrators.

Nice to Have (But Not Essential)

• Experience navigating central government or large-scale public sector shared services.
• Exposure to Legacy platforms like Oracle Suite or Fusion to support the transformation and data migration mindset.
• Strong knowledge of Workday reporting, analytics, or complex integrations.
