Job Description
As a Workday Payroll Consulting Manager , you will serve as a delivery leader and trusted advisor, responsible for driving high-quality Workday Payroll implementations while developing the consultants around you. This is a player/coach role you will lead complex client engagements end-to-end while mentoring teams, strengthening delivery rigor, and contributing to the continued growth of client's Workday practice. Job Responsibilities Lead end-to-end Workday Payroll implementations, including U.S. Payroll with Time Tracking, Scheduling, or Absence. Own the full project lifecycle from discovery through deployment, architecting solutions and proactively identifying delivery risks to ensure predictable, high-quality outcomes. Serve as a workstream and project lead, guiding cross-functional delivery teams through configuration, testing, and deployment. Manage timelines, dependencies, and resources to maintain delivery excellence across multiple concurrent engagements. Bring rigor to requirements definition and project scoping. Proactively manage scope, mitigate risk, and uphold project boundaries to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery without compromising client relationships. Build trusted client partnerships by translating complex Workday functionality into clear business outcomes. Facilitate workshops, gather requirements, and provide strategic guidance that positions Armanino as a long-term advisory partner rather than a transactional vendor. Mentor and develop junior and mid-level consultants through hands-on coaching, delivery reviews, and knowledge sharing. Strengthen team capability and confidence, enabling consultants to grow into independent project leaders. Support pre-sales efforts by contributing to project scoping, proposals, and client presentations. Apply delivery experience to help win the right work and set engagements up for success from day one. Provide ongoing support to Managed Services clients post go-live, including system optimization, audits, and enhancements. Extend client value beyond implementation and cultivate long-term advisory relationships.
