About the role

Join one of the most respected alternative asset management firms in the country as a Senior Workday Integration Architect / Lead. This high-visibility role focuses on integration following a recent Workday implementation. You'll step into a hands-on architect/lead position with real ownership—designing, building, and supporting mission-critical integrations across payroll, benefits, finance, and security. This is an opportunity to work alongside sharp, driven colleagues in a firm recognized for developing talent into future leaders.

If you have strong Workday Studio experience and exposure to Extend or Prism, this role allows you to leverage those skills in a challenging, high-impact environment with excellent long-term growth potential.

Responsibilities

• Design scalable Workday integration solutions across HCM, Payroll, Benefits, Compensation, Security, Recruiting, Time Tracking, and Absence, as well as downstream third-party systems.
• Build and maintain integrations using Workday Studio, EIB, Core Connector, Cloud Connect, PECI, PICOF, RaaS, SOAP, REST, XML, XSLT, and calculated fields.
• Develop integrations for downstream payroll providers, benefits carriers, finance/ERP platforms, banking partners, tax systems, and reporting platforms.
• Configure integration security, including system users, security groups, authentication, OAuth, certificates, and SFTP/API connectivity.
• Design, build, or support Workday Extend applications and Prism Analytics datasets, pipelines, and dashboards.
• Monitor scheduled integrations, troubleshoot failures, perform root cause analysis, and coordinate vendor fixes.
• Own integration regression testing for Workday releases, configuration changes, and tenant refreshes.
• Create support documentation, technical specs, runbooks, and controls documentation for audit and operational sustainability.
• Partner closely with People Operations, HRIS, Payroll, Benefits, IT, Security, and external vendors to ensure secure, accurate, and scalable data flow.

Requirements

• 8+ years of Workday experience, with deep hands-on delivery experience in Workday integrations.
• Proven ownership of Workday Studio custom integrations from requirements through production support.
• Strong experience with EIB, Core Connector, Cloud Connect, PECI/PICOF, RaaS, XML, XSLT, SOAP, REST, and SFTP/API-based data exchange.
• Strong understanding of Workday integration security, including ISUs, domain security, authentication, and OAuth.
• Experience troubleshooting complex production integration failures and vendor handoff defects.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on Workday Extend application design or development.
• Hands-on Workday Prism Analytics experience (data blending, dashboards, datasets).
• Experience with global payroll integrations and effective-dated transactions.
• Workday certifications in Integrations, Custom Integrations, Studio, Extend, or Prism.
• Experience in high-control environments with SOX, audit, and data privacy requirements.

Benefits

• Strong compensation and benefits package, consistently highlighted as a strength by current employees.
• Hybrid work schedule based out of a Fort Worth office.
• Collaborative, team-oriented culture that rewards innovation and curiosity over rigid hierarchy.
• Firm culture emphasizes developing talent into future leaders, with real upward mobility.
• Opportunity to deepen expertise in Workday Extend and Prism Analytics, two of the most in-demand differentiators in the Workday ecosystem.
