JOB REQUIREMENTS: Workday Business Analyst Summary This is an opportunity to play a highly visible, business-facing role in a major enterprise Workday transformation. You\'ll help business leaders turn complex workforce and financial needs into practical processes and scalable Workday solutions, while serving as a bridge between stakeholders and implementation teams. The role blends business analysis, functional Workday expertise, process redesign, and facilitation rather than focusing primarily on technical development. You\'ll have meaningful influence over how decisions are made and how the platform operates long after implementation. About the Opportunity Join a large organization undertaking a multi-phase modernization of its workforce and financial operations. The transformation spans Human Capital Management, payroll, benefits, recruiting, financial management, projects, procurement, reporting, analytics, security, integrations, and related enterprise capabilities. You\'ll work alongside business leaders, functional specialists, and experienced Workday implementation partners. Rather than simply documenting existing processes, you\'ll help teams rethink how work should happen, identify where standard Workday capabilities can simplify operations, and guide stakeholders toward decisions that balance usability, scalability, and long-term maintainability. This is a hands-on advisory role with significant stakeholder exposure and ownership across the transformation lifecycle. What You\'ll Do Business Process & Solution Design Help teams translate business objectives into effective Workday-enabled processes. * Lead discovery and design conversations across workforce and financial functions. * Map how work happens today and shape simpler, more scalable future-state processes. * Help stakeholders distinguish essential business needs from legacy practices that can be modernized. * Evaluate Workday functionality and configuration approaches, explaining benefits, tradeoffs, and downstream impacts. * Connect decisions across areas such as HCM, payroll, time, projects, billing, expenses, procurement, and accounting. Stakeholder & Partner Leadership Create alignment among business teams, functional specialists, and implementation partners. * Facilitate workshops that move groups from open questions to clear decisions and actionable outcomes. * Translate between business stakeholders and Workday specialists without requiring either audience to speak the other\'s language. * Provide an informed perspective on proposed solutions and surface viable alternatives when they better support the business. * Navigate competing priorities and identify decisions that need program-level attention. * Keep stakeholders aligned as requirements and implementation decisions evolve. Requirements, Processes & Governance Build the practical foundation that helps the transformation remain understandable and manageable. * Develop business requirements, process models, user stories, decision records, and functional guidance. * Maintain traceability between business needs, solution decisions, and implementation outcomes. * Capture the reasoning behind important design choices so future teams understand both what was decided and why. * Incorporate reporting, data, security, analytics, and role considerations into process discussions rather than treating them as afterthoughts. * Use visual process-mapping and collaboration tools to make complex workflows easier for stakeholders to understand. Validation, Readiness & Knowledge Transfer Help ensure designs work effectively outside the workshop room. * Participate in solution demonstrations, prototype reviews, and configur To view the full job description please use the link below. https://www.aplitrak.com/?adid=YmJnZW5lcmljLjMyNTUwLjg3NzBAYmVhY29uaGlsbGNvbXAuYXBsaXRyYWsuY29t ***** APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Apply Online: https://www.ap itrak.com/?adid=YmJnZW5lcmljLjMyNTUwLjg3NzBAYmVhY29uaGlsbGNvbXAuYXBsaXRyYWsuY29t
