The posting

Whether you’re an experienced professional or just getting started, your contributions matter at Fortra. If you’re passionate about tackling meaningful challenges alongside talented team members committed to helping each other succeed, all while having lots of fun, we want to hear from you. We offer competitive benefits and salaries, personal and professional development opportunities, flexibility, and much more!

While our company operates remotely, our current hiring strategy is focused on building talent communities in Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Eden Prairie, and the New York–New Jersey–Connecticut tri-state area.

We are seeking an experienced Workday Architect with deep expertise across Workday HCM and Workday Financials to lead the design, governance, and optimization of our Workday ecosystem. This role operates at the intersection of technology strategy, enterprise architecture, and delivery leadership—partnering with HR, Finance, IT, Security, and Data/Analytics stakeholders to ensure Workday remains a secure, scalable, and resilient system of record. The Workday Architect sets platform guardrails, defines secure integration and data patterns, and guides engineers and administrators to deliver high-quality outcomes.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Solution Architecture & Design

  • Lead end-to-end architecture and solution design across Workday HCM and Financials, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and business strategy.
  • Translate complex business requirements into scalable Workday designs (configuration, business processes, reporting approach, and integration patterns).
  • Define and maintain architecture roadmaps, reference architectures, and design patterns that enable consistent delivery and reduce technical debt.

Security & Identity Architecture

  • Define and govern Workday security architecture, including role frameworks, domain/business process security, and least-privilege access models.
  • Partner with IAM and Security teams to ensure SSO, identity lifecycle (joiner/mover/leaver), and access reviews are correctly integrated and auditable.
  • Establish and enforce segregation-of-duties (SoD) principles and controls; support audit evidence and remediation activities related to Workday access and process controls.

Integration & Data Strategy

  • Architect and oversee integrations and data flows between Workday and connected enterprise platforms (e.g., IAM, payroll, finance, CRM, ITSM, data warehouse).
  • Set standards for integration reliability (monitoring, error handling, reconciliation, and recovery) and ensure integrations remain supportable through releases.
  • Define data governance patterns for Workday extracts/feeds, including secure handling of sensitive data (PII/financial data) and alignment with enterprise analytics standards.

Release, Environment & Change Governance

  • Own or co-own Workday tenant strategy (prod/sandbox/preview), migration approach, and controls for configuration promotion to production.
  • Lead bi-annual Workday release impact assessments and coordinate technical readiness (regression/integration testing strategy, cutover validation, and stabilization).
  • Establish change governance for Workday platform changes, including standards for documentation, approvals, and operational handoff.

Platform Leadership & Optimization

  • Serve as the technical authority for Workday platform decisions; provide architectural oversight across projects, enhancements, and incident/problem remediation.
  • Drive platform optimization efforts (performance, configuration rationalization, data quality, and reliability improvements).
  • Evaluate new Workday features, modules, and capabilities; recommend adoption strategies and roadmap enhancements based on business value and risk.

Stakeholder Engagement & Delivery Leadership

  • Partner with HR, Finance, IT, and cross-functional leaders to align priorities, scope solutions, and communicate trade-offs and risks.
  • Guide and mentor Workday engineers, administrators, and analysts; promote consistent engineering practices, testing discipline, and knowledge sharing.
  • Collaborate with external partners and vendors to ensure high-quality delivery and adherence to architecture and security standards.

Scope / Boundaries

  • This role provides architectural leadership and governance; day-to-day administration, provisioning, and routine operational requests are handled by Workday Administrators and IAM Operations.
  • Business process ownership and policy decisions remain with HR and Finance Product Owners; the architect ensures designs are implementable, secure, and supportable.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 7+ years of hands-on Workday experience with strong expertise in both HCM and Financials.
  • Proven experience architecting Workday solutions in complex enterprise environments, including security, business processes, integrations, and reporting patterns.
  • Deep understanding of Workday security model, business process framework, and integration technologies (e.g., EIB, Core Connectors, Studio, PECI).
  • Experience with Workday release management, tenant strategy, and platform governance.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and guide cross-functional teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree preferred (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
  • Typically requires five or more years of progressive experience in enterprise applications, architecture, or platform engineering roles, including Workday.
  • Architecture & design: ability to define patterns, standards, and roadmaps that scale.
  • Security & compliance: least privilege, access governance, SoD, audit readiness, and data protection.
  • Integration & data: API/integration patterns, monitoring/reliability, and secure data delivery to downstream platforms.
  • Communication: able to translate technical concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Leadership: mentoring, decision facilitation, and cross-team coordination in project and operational contexts.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Workday certifications in HCM, Financials, Integrations, or Architecture.
  • Experience with large-scale Workday implementations, multi-phase rollouts, or post-merger harmonization.
  • Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks and integration middleware/API-based patterns.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
