JOB OVERVIEW

We are seeking a Senior ADP Payroll and Workday HCM Consultant with deep, hands-on expertise in ADP SmartCompliance integrations and end-to-end Workday Payroll implementations.

The ideal candidate operates confidently at the intersection of Payroll, Finance, and Tax — advising stakeholders across HR, FP&A, and Accounting while delivering technically sound, scalable solutions.
