• Architect Solutions: Design, configure, and deploy Workday Student in a way that actually solve the unique headaches of higher-ed institutions.
• Be the Expert in the Room: Lead client sessions to dig into their true needs. You'll advise on best practices while being flexible enough to pivot when their needs change.
• Lead & Mentor: You'll manage project scope and quality while coaching less experienced team members. Your success is measured by the growth of the people around you.
• Innovate the Practice: We don't want "the way it's always been done." We want your "lessons learned" to become our new standard operating procedure.
• Problem Solve: Identify the "why" behind the "what." You'll perform deep-dive research into complex issues and present corrective measures that stick.
