• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

• Mentor junior consultants on integration best practices, client communication, and technical problem‑solving.
• Contribute to and maintain the team's repository of technical solutions, design guidelines, and reusable assets.
• Participate in team knowledge‑sharing sessions and help elevate the overall technical bar of the integration practice.
• Surface recurring patterns or gaps to the Integrations Team Lead and Manager to inform tooling, process, and product improvements.

• Deep, hands‑on expertise with Workday integrations, including Workday Studio and Workday Orchestrate.

• Demonstrated experience leading complex, multi‑workstream client implementations end‑to‑end.
• Experience mentoring and providing technical guidance to junior and mid‑level consultants.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex client business needs and translate them into scalable application and integration designs.
