Sr. Workday Financials Analyst

Sr. Workday Financials Analyst
Our client, a national multi-site organization, is strengthening the finance functional team inside its Workday Center of Excellence and needs a genuinely senior hands-on analyst. This is a build-and-fix role, not a management seat: you'll spend your days in the tenant configuring, troubleshooting, testing, and delivering across the Financials platform, working within the design standards and priorities set by the Workday Financial Systems Director.
There's a steady ticket volume, an active optimization backlog, and upcoming projects including a systems consolidation and acquisition onboarding so the team needs someone with real breadth across modules, not just depth in one.
Responsibilities Financial Management
Configure and maintain the financial management suite day to day: GL, payables, receivables, fixed assets, projects, expenses, allocations, and banking and treasury
Build and troubleshoot Accounting Center automation — journal rules, accounting event definitions, and book configuration
Set up and maintain allocation pools, bases, targets, and rules, working with accounting and FP&A to keep close running smoothly
Configure banking and treasury: bank account setup, transaction matching, payment processing, and reconciliations
Maintain projects configuration for capital and facilities work so costs, POs, and expenses land against the right projects
Spend Management
Configure procure-to-pay across indirect and direct tracks: requisitions, purchase orders, change orders, supplier accounts, expenses, and contracts
Maintain supplier catalogs and punchout connections, and process supplier onboarding setups with procurement and AP
Work invoice, PO/PR, and AP processing issues to resolution, digging into root cause so the same tickets stop coming back
Apply updates to spend thresholds, purchasing policies, and approval hierarchies as directed by policy and governance decisions
Planning, Reporting & Data
Build and maintain Adaptive Planning models across financial, workforce, and operational planning, plus close and consolidation
Turn FP&A requirements into working planning configurations
Build Workday reports, dashboards, and composite reporting from gathered requirements
Support the finance BI team with data extraction, field mapping, and data integrity questions feeding downstream SQL-based analytics
Support & Delivery
Work the functional queue: resolve escalated end-user issues, business process errors, and transaction questions across supported modules
Execute UAT for enhancements and semi-annual Workday releases; document results and flag issues for the Director's sign-off
Maintain org and hierarchy configuration supporting field operations, and help stand up newly acquired entities in existing structures
Share knowledge with junior analysts and follow established governance and change control on every change
What We're Looking For
7+ years in financial systems or senior finance technology roles, with substantial hands-on Workday Financials configuration experience
Multiple full implementation or optimization cycles across Workday Financial Management and Adaptive Planning
Fluency in enterprise finance processes: full accounting cycle, procure-to-pay, FP&A, and financial reporting
Self-sufficient in the tenant: able to take a requirement, assess the options, and deliver a clean configuration without hand-holding
Clear communicator who is comfortable working directly with finance, accounting, and procurement stakeholders
Certifications
Workday Pro: Financial Management — required and current
Workday Pro: Platform Administrator — required or attainable within six months of hire
Workday Pro: Adaptive Planning — preferred
