The Workday Adaptive Planning Senior Candidate is a hands-on configuration and build role within our EPM delivery practice. Working closely with an Engagement Lead, this candidate owns the technical construction of client Adaptive environments - from security and tenant setup through integrations and testing - and contributes to design decisions and solution quality throughout the project lifecycle.
This role is ideal for a practitioner who has built and configured Adaptive Planning environments end-to-end and is ready to deepen their expertise across a variety of client contexts, including public sector and higher education engagements.
Key Responsibilities - Configure and build Workday Adaptive Planning environments per approved design specifications, covering security, model structure, dimensions, sheets, and formulas.
- Own security configuration end-to-end - design and implement role-based access, troubleshoot access issues, and maintain security documentation.
- Administer and manage tenant environments, including environment provisioning, deployment support, and coordination of release tasks.
- Build and support integrations - construct data loads and mappings, configure scheduling and monitoring, and lead troubleshooting of integration failures.
- Execute structured testing cycles (SIT and UAT) - author and execute test scripts, log defects, manage retest cycles, and produce reconciliation evidence.
- Support the Engagement Lead on solution design, client workshops, and delivery planning as needed.
- Maintain clear, thorough documentation throughout the engagement, including configuration workbooks, test evidence packages, and operational runbooks.
