We are seeking a full-time Workday Security Lead who is eager to grow with Truist and take ownership of Workday Security processes across the Bank. This role is hands‑on and focused on maintaining and enhancing Workday access and security controls that impact every teammate and the bank. The ideal candidate is not a consultant, but a dedicated team member who wants to contribute long‑term and be part of a fast‑paced collaborative environment.

In this role, you will serve as the primary point of contact for all Workday security‑related activities, including remediation of critical issues. The Workday Security Lead works closely with technology teams and HR partners to manage and implement security changes, grant tenant access, and ensure compliance with established business controls and policies. You will analyze project requirements and design security modifications to support business needs while maintaining proper governance and control.

The ideal candidate will have strong, hands‑on experience with Workday security and access management—ideally within a financial institution—and an understanding of broader Workday functional areas. This knowledge will help them effectively collaborate with functional and technical teams across the enterprise. The candidate will need to have experience with Agile processes, since the position will be part of a Scrum team.

A desired skill would be experience with AI or business process automation which will bring long‑term value to the Bank.
