About the Team

The Workday VNDLY Functional Consulting Team are all about our customers and configuring Workday VNDLY to solve their day to day problems. We are true consultants who care about our customers goals and how best to use our technology to meet their goals. Our team of professionals have a broad and deep understanding of the Contingent Labor landscape (Staffing or Managed Services Provider MSP) and Vendor Management System (VMS) industries by working in this space or working with other VMS software directly or indirectly. The team is responsible for delivery to our clients such as performing live demonstrations, requirement gathering, and all aspects of the deployment.

We help our customers make the most of Workday VNDLY and how we interact with other Workday core products.

About the Role

As a Functional Consultant, you will provide full life-cycle deployment expertise to our customers from gathering requirements, configuring Workday VNDLY, and testing various modules to align with their business requirements.

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.

At Workday, we are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive hiring experience where all candidates can fully demonstrate their skills. If you require assistance or an accommodation at any point, please email accommodations@workday.com.
