Job description
A Workday HCM Lead is required to join an organisation working in the Public Sector to play a pivotal role in a major greenfield transformation programme , helping to build and deliver a modern cloud-based HR platform that will support thousands of users across the UK public sector (hybrid).

Read the overview of this opportunity to understand what skills, including and relevant soft skills and software package proficiencies, are required.
This is far more than a BAU support role. You'll be at the forefront of designing, configuring and optimising a brand-new Workday environment, influencing architecture, driving best practice and acting as the technical authority for HCM across the programme.
Working within a collaborative Digital & Information function, you'll combine hands-on expertise with strategic leadership, mentoring colleagues while partnering with senior stakeholders to deliver an enterprise platform that makes a genuine difference.
What you'll be doing
As the Workday HCM Lead, you'll take ownership of the design, configuration and ongoing evolution of the Workday HCM platform, playing a key role in a major greenfield transformation programme. Working closely with business stakeholders, architects and delivery partners, you'll lead workshops to understand complex requirements and translate them into scalable, best-practice solutions across Core HCM, Organisations, Staffing Models, Job Architecture and Business Processes.
Alongside providing hands-on technical expertise, you'll act as the senior point of escalation for configuration and support issues, oversee enhancements and releases, champion continuous improvement, and ensure the platform remains robust, compliant and fit for the future. You'll also mentor colleagues within the team, provide technical assurance across Workday developments, and help shape the long-term strategy for one of the organisation's most critical enterprise systems.
You'll ideally have most of the following
You'll bring significant experience delivering or supporting Workday HCM within complex organisations and be comfortable operating as both a technical specialist and leader.
** Extensive hands-on Workday HCM configuration experience.
** Strong knowledge of end-to-end HR processes and operating models.
** Experience leading implementations, optimisations or enterprise-scale support functions.
** A track record of mentoring teams and providing technical oversight.
** Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence at senior level.
** Experience working within Agile, SAFe or hybrid delivery environments.
Why join?
This is an opportunity to join a business investing heavily in digital transformation and cloud technology, where you'll have genuine influence over the future direction of the Workday platform.
The Offer
They are offering a salary of up to £66,000 alongside amazing benefits such as 26% employer pension contribution and many others!
The role is ideally hybrid in either Swindon, Stockton or Newport (1 day onsite), however, they may consider fully remote UK based candidates.
If you're looking for a role where you can leave your mark on a flagship Workday programme and help shape the future of enterprise HR technology, we'd love to hear from you.
