About the Role

Serve as a delivery leader and trusted advisor, responsible for driving high-quality Workday Payroll implementations while developing the consultants around you. This is a player-coach role where you will lead complex client engagements end-to-end while mentoring teams, strengthening delivery rigor, and contributing to the continued growth of Armanino’s Workday practice.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end Workday Payroll implementations, including U.S. Payroll with Time Tracking, Scheduling, or Absence.
• Own the full project lifecycle from discovery through deployment, architecting solutions and proactively identifying delivery risks to ensure predictable, high-quality outcomes.
• Serve as a workstream and project lead, guiding cross-functional delivery teams through configuration, testing, and deployment.
• Manage timelines, dependencies, and resources to maintain delivery excellence across multiple concurrent engagements.
• Bring rigor to requirements definition and project scoping.
• Proactively manage scope, mitigate risk, and uphold project boundaries to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery without compromising client relationships.
• Build trusted client partnerships by translating complex Workday functionality into clear business outcomes.
• Facilitate workshops, gather requirements, and provide strategic guidance that positions Armanino as a long-term advisory partner rather than a transactional vendor.
• Mentor and develop junior and mid-level consultants through hands-on coaching, delivery reviews, and knowledge sharing.
• Strengthen team capability and confidence, enabling consultants to grow into independent project leaders.
• Support pre-sales efforts by contributing to project scoping, proposals, and client presentations.
• Apply delivery experience to help win the right work and set engagements up for success from day one.
• Provide ongoing support to Managed Services clients post go-live, including system optimization, audits, and enhancements.
• Extend client value beyond implementation and cultivate long-term advisory relationships.

Requirements

• Active certification in Workday Payroll and either Workday Time Tracking or Absence
• Minimum of 5 years architecting and delivering Workday implementations with a proven record of on-time, on-scope delivery
• Deep understanding of Workday deployment methodologies, including Launch, Launch Express, or partner-adjacent approaches
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects without compromising delivery quality
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage executive stakeholders while effectively coaching delivery teams
• Proven leadership capability and genuine investment in developing other consultants
• Comfort operating in fast-paced, evolving environments where structure and clarity must be created
• Experience in Managed Services, Advisory, or client-side roles, in addition to implementation delivery
