  • Serve as the technical architect for Workday Student implementations, providing leadership and guidance on integrations strategy and solution design.

  • Lead the integrations workstream on Workday Student projects, managing technical deliverables, coordinating with functional teams, and ensuring successful execution from design through deployment.

  • Translate functional requirements into detailed technical specifications and interface designs.

  • Review and validate integrations designs and technical approach to ensure compliance with Workday standards and best practices.

  • Conduct technical design reviews and provide direction on coding standards, error handling, and performance optimization.

  • Support sales pursuits by reviewing estimates, scoping integrations work, and attending orals and prospect meetings.

  • Review Statements of Work (SOWs) for technical accuracy and alignment with proposed solutions.

  • Collaborate with client technical leadership to define technical roadmaps and resolve complex architecture challenges.

  • Contribute to practice innovation by developing reusable assets, templates, and accelerators for Workday Student integrations.

  • Mentor technical resources and promote knowledge sharing within the integrations practice
