Senior Technical Integration Consultant - AI HCM Solutions

About the Role

Core Objective: As a Sr. Technical Consultant, you will serve as the primary technical architect and lead developer for the HCM integration workstream. You will drive end-to-end project implementation and delivery, balancing hands‑on technical execution—coding and configuring within the Workday ecosystem—with high‑level strategic advisory. You are responsible for the full delivery lifecycle, from initial technical discovery and architectural design to final deployment, while guiding customers on long‑term technical strategy and the adoption of AI‑driven orchestration.

System Interaction: You will architect integrations between Workday’s full HCM suite and external platforms to deliver seamless experiences for our customers. By leveraging agentic AI and automation, you will optimize the flow of sensitive employee data, ensuring that technical touchpoints are high‑integrity and designed to significantly reduce manual intervention while maintaining 100% data accuracy.

Customer/Stakeholder Interaction: You serve as a Strategic Technical Advisor to customer IT leadership and their HRMS teams. Internally, you act as the Technical Consulting bridge for HCM Functional Consultants, translating our product‑based business requirements into robust, agentic technical architectures.
