About the Team

You'll be joining the Technical Consulting team. We own the end-to-end build of the technical connections between a customer's Workday system and the other systems in their business. Using Workday's own enterprise integration technology, we turn a customer's integration needs into a working design, then build, test, and launch it in production.

Beyond individual projects, our team also guides customers through broader conversations about integration architecture, system security, and how systems safely confirm who is accessing them. Each consultant typically supports several customer projects at once and has a lot of say in how they plan and run that work week to week. It's a team that blends deep technical problem-solving with real ownership over how the work gets done - and right now, we're rethinking what that work looks like as AI changes it.

About the Role

The work of an integration consultant is changing fast. AI is reshaping how integrations get designed, built, and delivered, and we're looking for someone to help lead that shift for our team. As a Senior Principal Technical Consultant, you won't just keep up with that change - you'll help define it, shaping what a modern, AI-supported integration practice looks like and bringing that model to life in how projects are run day to day.

In this role, you will:

• Help the team rethink how integration work gets delivered, bringing new AI-era tools and approaches into everyday project work
• Lead the design, build, test, and deployment of complex integrations between a customer's Workday system and their other enterprise systems
• Convert a customer's integration requirements into sound architectural decisions within Workday
• Guide project discussions on integration architecture, application security, and system authentication
• Act as a technical guide to other consultants on your projects, sharing knowledge on architecture and ways of working
• Partner with engagement managers and integration leads, keeping them informed of project status and surfacing risks early
• Cooperate with management and other teams in applying new technologies and methodologies in real projects

About You

Basic Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in technical consulting, systems integration, or enterprise software delivery, including designing and deploying integration solutions in a customer-facing setting

Other Qualifications

• Strong technical acumen: you can learn complex technical concepts quickly and apply them to real integration problems, and you've done this across more than one platform or project
• Skilled in solutions design: you've turned business requirements into workable technical designs, weighing trade-offs and building solutions that hold up in production
• Experienced in requirements gathering: you know how to draw out what a customer actually needs, even when their ask starts out unclear, and turn that into a clear set of documented requirements
• Comfortable with influencing skills: you can bring technical and non-technical people around to a shared plan, including when there's disagreement about the right approach
• Practiced in relationship management: you've built and maintained trust with customers and internal teams over the life of a project, not just at the start
• Quick to show learning agility: you pick up new tools, methods, and ways of working and apply them to unfamiliar situations, including the kind of change this role is about

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
