Workday Financials Administrator
About The Position
The Workday Financials Administrator is a hands-on functional and technical expert responsible for configuring, administering, and continuously improving Workday Financials. Workday remains the system of record, while the administrator partners with business leaders, end users, and owners of adjacent enterprise applications—including Coupa, HighRadius, and Salesforce—to design end-to-end business processes across the broader systems landscape. Reporting to the Director, Workday & Financial Systems, this high-impact role leads small to mid-sized projects independently and coordinates across cross-functional teams. The role can be based remotely, with preference for candidates near Onterris locations in Irvine, California; Denver, Colorado; Little Rock, Arkansas; or Calgary, Alberta. Candidates in the United States and Canada are welcome. The stated U.S. compensation range is $130,000–$160,000 USD plus an annual bonus of 5%, commensurate with experience, skills, and geographic location; compensation for Canada-based hires will be aligned to the local market.
