Overview

Palo Alto, California | Onsite Monday through Friday | Immediate Consulting Opportunity

IntegraTouch is seeking an experienced Senior Workday Advanced Compensation Consultant to support a high growth technology organization in Palo Alto.

This is a senior, hands on People Technology consulting role with a primary focus on Workday Advanced Compensation and enterprise compensation programs. The consultant will also contribute to broader initiatives across Core HCM, Performance Management, Security, Reporting, Talent Acquisition technology, and emerging AI enabled People Technology solutions.

We are looking for someone who understands much more than how Workday works. The right consultant can sit with HR, Total Rewards, People Technology, and IT leaders, understand complex business requirements, translate those needs into clear functional requirements, develop comprehensive testing strategies, audit complex data, and help drive critical projects through successful delivery.

Deep, hands on Workday Advanced Compensation experience is required.

Location and Schedule

This position requires working onsite in Palo Alto, California, Monday through Friday.

Candidates should live within a reasonable commuting distance of Palo Alto or be prepared to independently relocate to the area.

The consultant must also have some flexibility to occasionally work earlier mornings or later evenings when collaboration with international teams is required.

What You Will Do

Your primary responsibility will be supporting major compensation programs and People Technology initiatives involving Workday Advanced Compensation.

Responsibilities may include:

• Support major annual compensation review cycles using Workday Advanced Compensation
• Partner with Total Rewards, HR, People Technology, and IT stakeholders
• Gather, analyze, and document complex business and functional requirements
• Translate HR and compensation requirements into detailed specifications for technical configuration teams
• Develop detailed requirements documentation for large People Technology initiatives
• Build comprehensive User Acceptance Testing strategies and plans
• Develop test cases, expected outcomes, timelines, and execution processes
• Lead and coordinate UAT activities across business and technical teams
• Conduct complex data audits to validate compensation, employee, and HR data
• Identify discrepancies, risks, and process improvement opportunities
• Develop Workday reports and support reporting requirements
• Manage smaller Workday enhancements and project requests
• Partner with IT on root cause analysis and validate solutions before production release
• Support project planning, timelines, communications, training, and documentation
• Review incoming People Technology demand and provide prioritization recommendations
• Evaluate current technology capabilities against emerging business requirements
• Support the implementation and ongoing operation of Talent Acquisition and People Technology platforms

Workday Expertise

We are seeking candidates with deep functional expertise in Workday Advanced Compensation combined with broad knowledge across the Workday ecosystem.

The strongest candidates will have experience with several of the following:

• Workday Advanced Compensation
• Enterprise compensation review cycles
• Core HCM
• Performance Management
• Workday Security
• Workday Reporting
• Business process analysis
• Requirements gathering and functional design
• User Acceptance Testing
• Data auditing and reconciliation
• Workday enhancement projects
• Cross functional Workday implementations

Because system configuration is owned by a separate technical team, this role is particularly well suited for a senior functional consultant who excels at bridging the gap between HR and business requirements and technical execution.

You must be able to understand what the business needs, document it clearly, anticipate potential issues, thoroughly test the resulting solution, and help ensure successful delivery.

AI First People Technology

We are particularly interested in professionals who are actively exploring how AI can improve the way People Technology teams operate.

You should be comfortable using tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar technologies to improve productivity and quality across areas such as:

• Test script and test case development
• Process analysis and improvement
• Data review and auditing
• Requirements documentation
• Workflow development
• Repetitive task automation
• Knowledge management
• Development of lightweight tools that leverage Workday data

You do not need to be an AI engineer.

We are looking for someone who understands how to use modern AI tools thoughtfully and practically to work smarter, improve processes, and help a People Technology organization continue to evolve.

Talent Acquisition Technology

Experience supporting modern Talent Acquisition technology is highly desirable.

Experience with Gem is strongly preferred. Candidates with significant experience implementing or supporting other enterprise ATS, recruiting CRM, or Talent Acquisition platforms will also be considered.

• A bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant professional experience

Additional Experience That Will Set You Apart

Experience with any of the following would be valuable:

• Gem
• Enterprise ATS or recruiting technology platforms
• Jira
• Recognition or employee engagement platforms
• AI enabled workflow automation
• Workday reporting
• Complex HR data analysis
• Global People Technology environments

The Person We Are Looking For
