Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You are the technical owner of Workday Financials at AMBOSS: you take over the tenant from our implementation partner and operate it. Some days that means a configuration fix before the close, other days the design of a new integration or the assessment of a new module.
- You are the expert and advisor for everything Workday. Our Business Systems Manager owns the roadmap, stakeholder coordination and partner management and works with you day to day.
- This is a senior individual contributor role: you build and own Workday the way a senior engineer owns a production system. It is not an administrator role with a ticket queue.
- Workday Financials goes live in November 2026 as our ERP for three entities in Germany, the US and Italy. Around twelve integrations connect it to the rest of the landscape, and they are the most demanding part of it. You join during hypercare and the first closes in Workday, with the first year-end close and statutory audit ahead.
- Own the tenant technically. Configuration and business processes across record-to-report (General Ledger), procure-to-pay (Accounts Payable), order-to-cash (Accounts Receivable) and bank connectivity (Banking & Settlement), the security model and the financial data model.
- Take over from the implementation partner. Review, document and harden what was delivered, close the gaps and bring run responsibility in-house as early as possible after go-live. Where we still use consultants, you set the technical standard and review their work.
- Own the Workday side of every integration. Design and build the EIBs, Core Connectors, Studio integrations, web services, and RaaS reports behind each interface, and agree on the interface contracts with our Data Platform engineers, who build and run the pipelines around the tenant.
- Advise Accounting and Finance. Translate requirements into system design, say clearly what Workday can and cannot do and advise where in the landscape a problem is best solved.
- Operate it like a production system. Tier 2/3 support with root cause fixes, testing discipline (unit, regression, UAT), the two Workday releases per year, and a change log with configuration documentation. You enable the accounting stream leads who handle first-line questions.
- Build the reports, dashboards and calculated fields that Finance and leadership rely on, and make them self-serve where possible.
- Be the technical expert on expansions. HCM, treasury, automated VAT reporting and global payroll off DATEV: assess feasibility, design the solution and configure it.
