About The Position

The Workday Finance Systems Consultant plays a key role in shaping how our financial systems support and enable the business. This role goes beyond day-to-day system administration; it's about partnering with Finance and cross-functional teams to design, challenge, and deliver scalable solutions that grow with the organization. Wilson went live with Workday in 2019 to modernize and streamline core financial processes. As the platform continues to evolve, we are looking for someone who can think strategically about how Workday should be used, advise stakeholders on best practices, and help optimize the system for long-term scalability and efficiency, including a 3-year roadmap that expands the Workday footprint within Finance and beyond. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys consulting with the business, translating complex needs into practical solutions, and influencing how systems and processes mature over time.
