The Role

We're looking for a Senior Workday Consultant to lead the technical design and delivery of our Workday platform across SEEK's Asia-Pacific operations. You'll be the Workday expert our People & Culture team relies on to architect scalable solutions, drive implementation excellence, and unlock the full potential of our HR tech stack.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you'll spend your days designing business processes, configuring modules end-to-end, and partnering with stakeholders across HR, IT, and the business to translate complex requirements into elegant Workday solutions.
