The Role As Montrose continues to grow and evolve, so does the need for platforms that enable our people, processes, and performance.

You’ll step into a widely adopted Workday environment with under-leveraged integrations and significant opportunity to elevate efficiency, simplify complexity, and drive best-in-class platform maturity. This role is designed for someone who is opinionated, decisive, and pragmatic, comfortable challenging legacy configurations and translating business needs into scalable technical solutions. In addition to hands-on architectural leadership, you’ll lead a small team of Workday developers, setting technical standards, prioritizing delivery, and shaping the future of the Workday ecosystem at Montrose. If you’re passionate about building platforms that empower people, enable change, and support meaningful work at scale—this is a role where your impact will be felt every day.
