Our client seeks a Workday Security Architect Consultant to assess a mature Workday HCM security environment, identify gaps and best-practice opportunities, and deliver actionable recommendations for a future-state security model. This role will serve as a subject matter expert responsible for analyzing the current state, benchmarking against leading practices, prioritizing enhancements, and creating a practical roadmap for improvement. This is a consultative, client-facing engagement focused on assessment and strategy rather than hands-on configuration.
We can facilitate w2 and corp-to-corp consultants. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
Rate: $90.00 to $100.00/hr. w2
Responsibilities:
- Assess the current Workday HCM security design, roles, and policies.
- Benchmark security posture against leading practices and compliance expectations.
- Identify risk areas, access gaps, and opportunities to simplify role design.
- Define a future-state security model aligned to business needs and least-privilege principles.
- Prioritize enhancements and develop a practical, phased roadmap.
- Advise stakeholders and present findings with clear recommendations.
- Collaborate with Workday and security teams to validate feasibility and impacts.
- Produce documentation including assessment summary, gap analysis, and target-state design guidance.
Experience Requirements:
- Proven experience as a Workday Security Architect or senior Workday security consultant.
- Deep knowledge of Workday HCM security domains, role-based access, and segregation of duties.
- Track record delivering security assessments and strategy roadmaps.
- Experience with best practices for tenant security, governance, and audit readiness.
- Strong communication skills for client-facing presentations and stakeholder alignment.
- Ability to translate complex security concepts into actionable recommendations.
Education Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Human Resources Technology, Business, or a related field.
- Workday certifications are preferred.
- Advanced certifications in Security, Identity and Access Management (IAM), or Governance are a plus.
Skills, experience, and other compensable factors will be considered when determining pay rate. The pay range provided in this posting reflects a W2 hourly rate; other employment options may be available that may result in pay outside of the provided range.
W2 employees of Eliassen Group who are regularly scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week are eligible for the following benefits: medical (choice of 3 plans), dental, vision, pre-tax accounts, other voluntary benefits including life and disability insurance, 401(k) with match, and sick time if required by law in the worked-in state/locality.
