Workday Implementation Lead / SME (Public Sector, Contract)

Temporary

AlphaX

AlphaGov (Casa Moon LLC d/b/a AlphaGov) delivers public-sector consulting for cities, counties, school systems, special districts, utilities, and related agencies. Our work spans classification and compensation, organizational and operational studies, research and program evaluation, economic and workforce analysis, surveys and community research, and applied data and infrastructure research.

We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with occasional client travel. When you authorize it, AlphaGov may name you as an expert collaborator or key personnel on proposals that match your expertise. We build ready teams for live pursuits — not speculative staffing banks.

This opportunity is contingent upon contract award and final staffing approval. Permission will be requested before including a candidate's name or resume in a proposal.

AlphaGov is seeking an experienced Workday Implementation Lead / SME to support city, county, and state Workday ERP pursuits, whether AlphaGov is subcontracting under a Workday system integrator or teaming with partners. You would bring hands-on Workday HCM, Financials, Procurement, Payroll, and Integrations delivery experience to proposals and, upon award, to implementation workstreams.

What you'll do:

Lead or support Workday implementation workstreams (HCM, Financials, Procurement, Payroll) from plan and architect through configure, test, deploy, and post-production stabilization
Serve as Workday PM or functional lead, coordinating agency stakeholders, the prime Workday system integrator, and IT and finance teams
Design and oversee integrations (EIB, Workday Studio, Core Connectors) and data migration from PeopleSoft and other legacy systems
Plan and deliver organizational change management, end-user training, and go-live readiness
Contribute Workday qualifications, staffing approach, and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when permissioned

Requirements

Required:

Hands-on Workday implementation experience as a project manager, functional lead, or senior consultant on at least one full lifecycle deployment
Deep functional expertise in one or more of Workday HCM, Financials, Procurement, or Payroll
Experience with Workday integrations (EIB, Studio, Core Connectors) and data conversion from PeopleSoft or other legacy systems
Experience with testing, cutover, organizational change management, and end-user training
Comfortable as a 1099 / project-based collaborator with travel as needed for client on-sites

Nice to have:

Public-sector Workday implementations for cities, counties, states, or higher education
Prior work at a Workday partner or system integrator (e.g., Deloitte, Accenture, Collaborative Solutions/Cognizant, Alight, Huron, Sierra-Cedar, Kainos)
Current or prior Workday certifications (HCM, Financials, Payroll, Integrations, or related)
