IT Solution Architect – Workday

Want to bring ideas to life? 

You’re in the right place. If you’re looking for a fresh challenge, why choose Aurecon? It comes down to one, crucial question. What kind of world do you want to create for the next generation? Truth is, the decisions being made right now will determine the future of everything – from the local community to the entire planet. One of those decisions is: who do you decide to work for? 

How will your ideas contribute to shaping what’s next? 

We are seeking a Solution Architect to join our Applications and Data team and contribute to the design and delivery of a fit-for-purpose future-ready Workday Architecture for Aurecon. This role extends beyond the scope of a traditional solution architect and assumes a pivotal position in designing, architecting, and implementing Workday solutions that align with Aurecon's IT and business strategies. You will collaborate closely with senior stakeholders, cross-functional teams and projects to optimise processes, guide system enhancements, and elevate the user experience. Additionally, you will create, own and drive the Workday suite strategy and roadmaps, and effectively communicate and advocate strategic outcomes to stakeholders. 

What will you do to "bring ideas to life"? 

• Architecting a well-integrated landscape by designing optimal Workday solutions in relation to best practice, functional and non-functional requirements. 

• Creating, owning and driving strategy and roadmaps for the Workday suite and clearly communicating and championing strategic outcomes to stakeholders.  

• Collaborate with a diverse set of stakeholders, including executives, to deliver the Workday suite roadmap that supports transitioning to a target state, while also providing guidance and recommendations for optimal Workday usage. 

• Producing high-level and detailed architecture artefacts for a solution and achieving their endorsement through the architecture review process, while ensuring that the endorsed design is adhered to during implementation and build, and that there is no deviation by delivery teams or vendors. 

• Ensuring that solutions complement technologies defined on strategic roadmaps and align with existing design and architecture principles and standards. 

• Focusing on architectural decisions and analysis of their impact on the existing IT environment while avoiding unnecessary technical debt. 

• Provision of Workday technical guidance to the Application Development, Integration, Support and Project Delivery Teams.
