Workday Technology Consulting Senior Manager

Attain Partners is an innovative consulting firm dedicated to disrupting the status quo to change the world and improve the lives of those we touch. From strategy to technology and everywhere in between, our experts use their unique skills to advance the important missions of education, nonprofit, healthcare, and state and local government clients.
People are at the center of all we do, and that’s why we empower career growth, provide industry-leading benefits packages, encourage a flexible work environment, and foster a culture of inclusion to support the needs of our team. We share a collective passion for our mission and our people. Guided by our seven core values, The Attain Way, our vision is the foundation of our culture—to be and attain the best.
We are seeking a strategic thinker and consultant with experience in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and IT transformation to lead engagements across business process assessment, technology strategy, organizational readiness, Workday implementation advisory, and post-production support.

This is not an implementer role, it’s about shaping the vision and guiding the journey. As such, your Workday implementation and support experience is valued, but your broader strategic thinking, and ability to cultivate strong client relationships is what drives success.
