Consultant, HR Accelerator Team

Your work days are brighter here.

At Workday, it all began with a conversation over breakfast. When our founders met at a sunny California diner, they came up with an idea to revolutionize the enterprise software market. And when we began to rise, one thing that really set us apart was our culture. A culture which was driven by our value of putting our people first. And ever since, the happiness, development, and contribution of every Workmate is central to who we are. Our Workmates believe a healthy employee-centric, collaborative culture is the essential mix of ingredients for success in business. That’s why we look after our people, communities and the planet while still being profitable. Feel encouraged to shine, however that manifests: you don’t need to hide who you are. You can feel the energy and the passion, it's what makes us unique. Inspired to make a brighter work day for all and transform with us to the next stage of our growth journey? Bring your brightest version of you and have a brighter work day here.

About the Team

Our People and Purpose(HR) Accelerator Team is a project-based team passionate about delivering solutions and insights to business leaders that will help innovate, drive functional performance, accelerate decision making, and increase the speed of execution. The Accelerator Team (AT), is an agile talent model within Workday’s People & Purpose team–we operate globally and without a functional alignment. In partnership with other People & Purpose functions, we will work on global, cross-functional projects that are central to P&P’s strategy. In short, we’re an internal consulting team supporting P&P’s biggest priorities and initiatives. The Accelerator Team is looking for individuals that are comfortable operating in a fast-paced, often ambiguous, project environment that have a bias for action. We need team members who are collaborative, able to move with speed, and balance both strategic thinking and execution (we don’t create value with ideas we can’t deliver). This is an exciting opportunity for people who want to make a big impact and work on cool projects.

About the Role

• The AT Consultant operates as part of a team, in a collaborative manner with the broader Accelerator Team, and with key stakeholders at Workday.

• The AT Consultant instills a focused and execution mindset when supporting projects, specifically how it relates to allocate resources, timelines, project management, working with constituents, and consulting methodology.

• The AT Consultant will support and advise on strategy, problem solving, and execution of solutions that are core to P&P’s priority focus areas.

• Accelerator Team projects are P&P (HR) focused with an expected duration of six to nine months. Selection will vary based on the needs of the business. 

• The AT Consultant will craft and delivery quality solutions in human resources areas

• They will conduct external research and assess current state documentation to prepare recommendations for improvements

• Experience drafting slide share and communications materials, preferably with G-Suite

• Highly organized with the ability to prioritize tasks

• An ability to handle adversity and navigate ambiguous environments

• A desire to learn, grow, and operate as a generalist–we’re not looking to replace the World-class talent in our P&P Centers of Excellence (E.g. Compensation, Talent Experience, Talent Acquisition, etc.)
