ABOUT THE ROLE

The Workday HCM Functional Lead is a customer-facing subject-matter expert who supports multiple Operators across Core HCM, security, compensation, benefits, payroll, and recruiting. This is a full-time, individual-contributor role based in Dallas, TX. The role is split roughly 50/50 between delivering new implementation projects and providing ongoing production support and maintenance. Serving as a trusted partner to each Operator, the Workday HCM Functional Lead will lead requirements‑gathering sessions, configure and test Workday, guide Operators through go‑live, and provide hands‑on post‑go‑live support and troubleshooting while driving adoption of best practices.
