Our Sr Director, Workday Finance Solutions Architect is a temporary senior leadership role within the Finance Transformation Office. This is not a consulting engagement in the traditional sense — it is a long-term platform ownership and strategic leadership role, held to the same accountability standard as a Kelly Finance senior leader.

This person serves as Kelly's highest-authority internal voice on Workday Finance — the executive-level bridge between IT delivery, system integration partners, and Finance operations. They are accountable for ensuring the platform is built right, governed well, and continuously aligned to Finance's evolving operational and strategic needs across a multi-year, multi-phase transformation.

The role follows a deliberate arc: guide Finance through the active phases of a multi-wave, enterprise-wide Workday implementation, architect the future-state Finance operating model within the platform and institutionalize a governance model that outlasts any single program cycle — building something durable, not just delivering a go-live. The right person brings firsthand Workday implementation experience, Finance leadership credibility, and the executive presence to operate as a peer to Kelly's Chief Accounting Officer and VP, Global Finance & Business Services — not as a vendor resource reporting upward.

Responsibilities:

Platform Stabilization & Deployment Readiness

• Leads Finance readiness strategy across all Workday deployment milestones — assessing configuration state, Finance process readiness, and risk exposure with the authority to escalate and drive resolution

• Owns Finance-specific testing strategy and execution: scenario-based, workflow-driven, and reflective of how Finance actually operates — not a checkbox exercise

• Defines and governs Finance hypercare coverage aligned to operational calendars; serves as the primary escalation point for Finance functional issues post-deployment

• Brings implementation-phase credibility to design reviews, integration sessions, and governance forums — capable of challenging SI recommendations and holding Workday partners accountable

Future-State Architecture & Platform Strategy

• Defines the future-state Finance operating model within Workday — FDM evolution, process standardization across R2R, P2P, and QTC, reporting architecture, and integration optimization

• Maintains a prioritized Workday Finance enhancement backlog and release calendar; ensures Finance-driven changes are sequenced, governed, and executed in a controlled manner

• Partners with Finance and IT leadership to make platform design decisions with full awareness of downstream Finance risk — architectural choices that will serve Kelly through 2029 and beyond

• Contributes to functional strategy as a senior Finance Transformation leader, not merely as a technical resource

Workday Finance Domain Ownership

• Leads Finance's requirements, configuration validation, and integration readiness across the full Workday Finance suite, with priority depth in:

• Financial Data Model (FDM) — reporting hierarchies, worktags, cost structures, and profitability definitions

• Consolidation — a priority depth area given the complexity of Kelly's current-state environment

• AP, Banking & Treasury — payment connectivity, bank reconciliation, and cash management workflows

• AR — automation use cases, data flows, and end-to-end receivables processes

• Close, Reporting & Compliance — period-end processes, financial reporting outputs, and SOX control documentation

Executive Stakeholder Engagement & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Operates as a Finance peer in executive-level discussions — able to present platform risk, architectural tradeoffs, and investment recommendations to the CFO, CAO, and Finance leadership without a translator layer

• Represents Finance with credibility and authority in all program governance forums, steering committees, and SI design sessions

• Translates IT decisions into clear operational implications for Finance leadership; translates Finance requirements into technical specifications for IT — with the implementation-phase experience to make both translations credible

• Builds and sustains trust-based relationships with Finance leaders, IT partners, and Workday SIs; holds partners accountable without creating adversarial dynamics

• Proactively surfaces risks, blockers, and architectural tradeoffs before they become program-level issues

Knowledge, Standards & Institutional Capability

• Produces and maintains transfer-ready artifacts: design standards, process runbooks, reporting catalogs, SOX controls documentation, and training materials

• Builds internal Finance capability to understand, use, and own the Workday platform over time — reducing dependence on external consulting resources

• Ensures institutional knowledge is documented and durable — not resident in any one person, including this role

Knowledge, Skills, and Experiences:

• 12+ years of relevant experience, consistent with Sr. Director-level accountability in a complex Finance environment

• 5+ years of hands-on Workday Financials experience across the full Finance module suite; Core Financials is the expected foundation, with Consolidation as a priority depth area; breadth across AP, AR, Banking, Expenses, and Financial Reporting is required

• Active CPA license or equivalent credential is preferred

• Firsthand experience navigating active Workday implementations — understanding how design decisions are made under timeline pressure and where configuration choices create downstream Finance risk

• Prior Finance or Accounting leadership experience — Controller, CFO, CAO, or equivalent operational roles that establish peer-level credibility with Kelly's Finance executives

• Demonstrated ability to operate as a senior leader across IT and Finance — equally effective in a Workday configuration session and a C-suite Finance discussion

• Executive presence and communication skills: able to present complex technical and financial tradeoffs to senior leadership with clarity, confidence, and appropriate brevity

• Experience in complex, multi-phase program environments with evolving scope and milestone-driven delivery

• Track record of producing durable, transfer-ready artifacts — not just delivering projects, but leaving teams better equipped than before

Additional Preferred:

• End-to-end Workday implementation experience as a Solution Architect or Finance domain lead

• Experience with Workday integration partners across treasury, AR automation, and banking connectivity platforms

• Familiarity with SOX control environments and IT general controls in a Workday context

• Background in Finance Transformation, shared services, or program management

• Experience with Record-to-Report, Procure-to-Pay, or Contract-to-Cash process redesign in a Workday environment

• Prior experience migrating from a legacy ERP to Workday

• Professional services staffing or workforce solutions industry experience a plus

• Exposure to Workday Billing, PSA (Professional Services Automation), or Projects — particularly relevant given Kelly's solutions billing design

• Bullhorn One platform experience is a meaningful differentiator given Kelly's QTC environment

• Workday Tax or Treasury module experience a plus

Locations and Travel:

• Eastern time zone availability is required

• Primarily remote with onsite travel as requested, with reasonable advance notice

Base pay range for this position is $100 – $125 per hour. Final hourly compensation will be based on experience and may vary by geographic location.
