Job Title Workday Accounting Centre/Prism Lead
Location Remote (UK)
Overview / Role Summary Our Client is looking for a Workday Accounting Center & Prism Analytics Lead to take ownership of the end-to-end pipeline that turns high-volume business events into posted accounting in Workday Financials. This is a delivery-focused role spanning Prism ingestion + data modelling, Accounting Center rules/enrichment, and balanced journal generation into the ledger, working directly with Finance stakeholders.
Benefits / Value Proposition
- Contract: 6–12 months (with delivery runway through May 31, 2027)
- High-impact work on one of the rarest Workday Financials skill sets
- Autonomy to lead a critical workstream end-to-end (not “ticket execution”)
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the Accounting Center design and build: rules, rule sets, transformations, and enrichment to FDM/worktags.
- Ensure balanced journal generation, posting cadence, exception handling, and reprocessing approach.
- Own traceability and audit-ready lineage from source event through to ledger lines.
- Architect Workday Prism Analytics pipelines: ingestion (file/SFTP/API/WDL), staged tables, derived datasets, publishing.
- Implement dataset governance including security (incl. row-level security where required) and performance at scale.
- Translate Finance/Group Reporting needs into platform design, including reconciliation vs source control totals.
- Produce handover documentation/runbooks and build capability within the client team.

- Required: Proven delivery of at least one Workday Accounting Center implementation through to production (end-to-end).
- Must: Strong Workday Prism Analytics (ingestion, staged/derived datasets, transformations, publishing, security).
- Must: Solid Workday Financials Core knowledge (FDM, worktags, ledgers, journal sources, book codes).
- Necessary: Strong accounting literacy (double-entry, subledger concepts, cut-off, reconciliation).
- Required: Experience handling high-volume transactional data and scaling data pipelines.
- Must: Ability to lead a workstream and engage confidently with Finance stakeholders.
Dealbreakers (Non-Negotiable Requirements)
- You must have delivered Workday Accounting Center to production (not POC, not “exposure”).
- You must have strong hands-on Workday Prism Analytics delivery capability.
- You must be eligible to work in the UK and operate Outside IR35 on a contract basis.
- You must be able to work remotely in UK time zones and start immediately / short notice.
