Workday HR IT Project Consultant

Role Purpose

Acts as a bridge between TA stakeholders and IT delivery teams, ensuring functional requirements translate into effective technology delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate TA needs into delivery-ready requirements
• Support solution design across Workday, AI and automation
• Partner with Product Owners and agile squads

Programme Context

This role supports a large-scale Talent Acquisition technology transformation delivered within the enterprise IT portfolio.

The programme focuses on modernising TA platforms, processes and operating models through a combination of Workday Recruiting optimisation, AI-enabled capabilities and digital automation.

Delivery is organised around a product- and squad-based agile model, with work structured across multiple, interdependent workstreams.

Teams operate at the intersection of Talent Acquisition, HR Technology and IT, translating functional TA outcomes into scalable, secure and compliant technology solutions.

The work involves close collaboration with TA leaders, HR stakeholders, IT delivery teams and external technology vendors.

All roles require experience operating in complex IT delivery environments, with a strong understanding of Talent Acquisition or wider Talent functions, and the ability to balance pace, quality, risk and enterprise governance.

While functional TA knowledge is essential, these roles require experience delivering IT-led HR or Talent technology projects, such as system implementations, platform optimisation, AI-enabled solutions or automation initiatives.

Roles are not suitable for individuals with purely functional Talent Acquisition experience and no exposure to technology delivery or IT transformation environments.
