Workday Data Conversion- Senior Application Consultant

About the Role

As a Workday Data Conversion Consultant, you will play a critical role in Workday implementation and transformation programs by ensuring the accurate migration of HR, payroll, finance, and talent data from legacy systems into Workday. You will work closely with business stakeholders, functional consultants, and technical teams to design and execute data conversion strategies that support successful testing, deployment, and go-live activities.

Application Consultants understand the client business process, current and future, and map it to the technologies being used, giving a demarcation of what can be achieved through a standard implementation and what would need customizations or extensions. You may functionally customize the application, partner with application developers to design application enhancements and extensions, and work with business users to implement process changes.

This role requires the ability to conceptualize business or technical solutions by leveraging colleagues and partners. You must have mastered at least one methodology in depth and possess advanced knowledge of one or more business domains and SaaS or package software solutions. The role involves wide knowledge of industry innovations and competitor activity, active engagement in internal and external knowledge development, and the ability to lead process improvements or IT analysis while advising clients on package module implementations.
