Senior Workday HCM Consultant

We are building a community of people you have always wanted to work with again.Most career paths in Workday land you in one of two places. Either you are embedded in a single organization, doing good work but limited by one environment, one roadmap, one team. Or you are consulting independently, with variety and autonomy but often without the community, stability, or shared purpose that makes work meaningful. Brillect's Workday Talent Practice is built for the people who want both. Senior advisors who share a standard, support each other, and are genuinely invested in doing great work together. If you have ever finished an engagement or a chapter of your career and thought, "I wish I could bottle that team," this is the answer to that.This is not a traditional Workday configuration role.We're looking for someone who can facilitate conversations, challenge assumptions, connect dots across functions, and help clients think beyond today's requirements.The ideal candidate understands Workday configuration and design deeply but doesn't stop there. They can translate business goals into scalable solutions, identify downstream impacts before they become problems, and provide thoughtful recommendations—not simply execute requests.This person is equally comfortable leading a strategic discussion with HR leadership as they are reviewing a business process, testing a configuration, or troubleshooting a complex issue.
