A Day in the Life

As a Workday Financials Administrator, you'll serve as a hands-on functional and technical expert responsible for the configuration, administration, and continuous improvement of Workday Financials. Workday remains our system of record, but this role is not siloed to

it, you'll partner with business leaders, end users, and the owners of adjacent enterprise applications (e.g., Coupa for procurement, HighRadius for accounts receivable/cash application, and Salesforce for CRM) to design end-to-end business processes that make sense across the broader systems landscape, not just within Workday.

We welcome candidates based in both the United States and Canada; compensation for Canada-based hires will be aligned to the local market.
