• Troubleshoot complex production issues across Workday FINS, integrations, and upstream/downstream systems (e.g., CRM, data warehouse, cash collection application), performing root cause analysis and implementing durable fixes.
• Define and monitor key success metrics (e.g., invoice accuracy and timeliness, close-cycle duration, manual journal volume, exception rework) and use these insights to prioritize and validate enhancements.
• Lead and/or participate in cross-functional projects (such as new product offerings, pricing changes, and global expansions) to ensure Workday C2C design supports scalable, compliant operations.

• Build a culture of continuous improvement, using metrics and stakeholder feedback to identify high‑impact enhancements and reduce technical and process debt in C2C.
• Incorporate AI and ML‑driven insights into dashboards and metrics so Finance and GTM leaders can proactively manage DSO, billing quality, and revenue leakage risks.
• Experiment with AI‑based automation (e.g., intelligent workflows, smart routing, summarization of defects/incidents) to reduce manual touch points across the quote‑to‑cash lifecycle.

About you:

• 3+ years of hands‑on experience as a Workday Administrator or consultant, with deep expertise in Contract to Cash‑related modules (e.g., Customer Contracts, Billing, Receivables, Revenue).
• You are deeply curious about how systems, data, and business processes work, and you naturally dig into configuration details rather than treating tools as black boxes.
• You are hungry to learn and a true lifelong learner—you actively seek out new Workday features, product updates, and best practices, and you enjoy sharing what you learn with others.
• You are a go‑getter who takes ownership of problems end‑to‑end, follows through on commitments, and is comfortable driving work forward without needing constant direction.
• You are an experimenter who prototypes, tests, and iterates; you’re comfortable trying new approaches, measuring outcomes, and quickly adjusting based on what you learn.
• You are systems‑minded and enjoy thinking in terms of processes, dependencies, and edge cases; you naturally anticipate downstream impacts before making changes in production.
• You are detail‑oriented and disciplined, especially when it comes to documentation, testing, and change control, and you understand that small configuration changes can have big consequences.
• You are a strong collaborator and communicator, able to translate between business language and system behavior so that stakeholders understand both the “why” and the “how” of proposed solutions.
• You are calm under pressure and comfortable troubleshooting ambiguous or complex issues, methodically working through hypotheses until you find and fix the root cause.
• You are service‑oriented, finding energy in helping Finance, HR, and business partners be successful through reliable systems, high‑quality data, and thoughtful support.
• Curious about AI and automation and comfortable learning new tools (e.g., copilots, code assistants, or analytics platforms) to boost your impact even if you haven’t used them formally before.
• Confident in asking questions, running small experiments, and using data/AI‑generated insights to challenge the status quo and propose better ways of working.

• Experience integrating Workday FINS with CRM, billing, data warehouse, or other upstream/downstream systems supporting quote‑to‑cash.
• Background working in a public or pre‑IPO company with SOX and financial control requirements.
• Familiarity with SaaS revenue recognition concepts (e.g., ASC 606) and how they are operationalized in Workday.
• Experience with reporting and analytics tools (e.g., Tableau, Workday Discovery Boards, or BI platforms) used by Finance and Accounting teams.
• Prior experience in a Business Applications, Enterprise Systems, or Finance Systems team working as a bridge between technical and business stakeholders.
• Has used AI tools to streamline Contract to Cash work (e.g., generating Workday C2C test cases, drafting billing/collections process documentation, summarizing defects or incidents), reducing manual effort and cycle time for releases.
• Regularly leverages AI to improve C2C decision quality (e.g., quickly analyzing invoice, collections, or revenue data patterns, comparing configuration options, or pressure‑testing proposed changes) and then validates results against Workday data, controls, and finance policies.
