Job Description

Agilysis is looking for a seasoned Workday Functional Architect to join our delivery team in Pune.

In this role, you will lead functional workstreams across complex Workday implementations, serve as the primary point of contact for clients, and mentor and manage a team of functional consultants. The ideal candidate will bring deep hands-on expertise across multiple Workday functional areas and drive conversations with both client and internal teams at the business and technical levels.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end Workday functional delivery across at least three modules, including HCM, Compensation, Advanced Compensation, Payroll, Absence, Time Tracking, Talent & Performance.
• Act as the functional design authority — translating complex business requirements into scalable, best-practice Workday configurations.
• Own client relationships through the full project lifecycle, facilitating workshops, presenting solutions, managing expectations, and handling escalations.
• Manage and mentor a team of 8–10 functional consultants, providing oversight on task allocation, quality assurance, and professional development.
• Design and govern Workday Business Process Frameworks, security models, and reporting structures across project workstreams.
• Collaborate with integration and technical teams to ensure functional and technical design decisions are aligned.
• Lead Workday release readiness activities — assessing impact, coordinating testing, and driving adoption of new features.
• Contribute to pre-sales and scoping efforts including effort estimation, solution design, and SOW inputs where required.
• Ensure data integrity, compliance, and audit readiness across all functional areas in scope.
• Produce and maintain high-quality documentation including design specifications, configuration workbooks, and knowledge transfer materials.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Human Resources, Information Systems, Business, or a related field.
• 7–10 years of overall Workday experience, with hands-on configuration expertise across a minimum of three functional areas: Core HCM, Compensation, Advanced Compensation, Payroll, Absence, Time Tracking, Talent & Performance.
• Workday Pro certification in at least one functional area is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience managing functional teams of 8+ consultants in a delivery or implementation setting.
• Proven track record of direct client engagement — including requirement gathering, solutioning, and stakeholder management at senior levels.
• Strong command of Workday Business Process Framework, reporting, calculated fields, and security configuration.
• Experience working on full-cycle Workday implementations; AMS or managed services experience is a plus.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and impact assessment capabilities.
• Excellent communication skills — able to present complex ideas clearly to both business and technical audiences.
