The Role

Your Role:

As a Workday Risk & Controls Consultant, you will support governance, risk, compliance, and controls activities across Workday and related enterprise systems. You will work closely with business stakeholders, risk teams, auditors, cyber security teams, and technology delivery functions to ensure effective control execution, audit readiness, regulatory compliance, and continuous process improvement. The role focuses on strengthening ERP governance, improving control effectiveness, supporting risk mitigation activities, and driving sustainable compliance across both project delivery and business-as-usual operations.

What Will You Do :

• Perform compliance assurance, control testing, monitoring, and governance activities across Workday, IT, operational, and regulatory control environments.
• Support audit readiness by validating evidence, maintaining documentation, tracking issues, and coordinating remediation activities across technology and business teams.
• Partner with internal and external auditors, compliance teams, and stakeholders to support audits, certification activities, customer reviews, and regulatory assessments.
• Develop and maintain risk, control, governance, and compliance artefacts supporting ERP platforms, SDLC processes, operational controls, and business functions.
• Execute and support User Access Reviews (UAR), Segregation of Duties (SoD) assessments, privileged access monitoring, Joiner-Mover-Leaver processes, and change compliance reviews.
• Monitor and assess controls related to SDLC, change management, cyber resilience, disaster recovery, access management, and ongoing operational activities.
• Develop management reports, dashboards, metrics, and compliance insights while identifying control gaps, root causes, and improvement opportunities.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives and support the implementation of automation, machine learning, robotic process automation (RPA), and AI-enabled control monitoring solutions.

The career path ahead is full of exciting opportunities to grow and advance within the job family. With dedication and hard work, you can climb the ladder to higher bands, achieving coveted positions such as Principal Engineer or Vice President of Software. These roles not only offer the chance to inspire and innovate, but also bring with them a sense of pride and accomplishment for having reached the pinnacle of your career in the software industry.

Who You Are

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

Required Technical and Professional Experience :

• 3+ years of experience in risk, controls, compliance, governance, audit, ERP controls, or related functions within complex global organizations.

• Strong understanding of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance, internal control frameworks, audit methodologies, risk management, and governance practices.
• Experience supporting User Access Reviews (UAR), Segregation of Duties (SoD), privileged access monitoring, Joiner-Mover-Leaver processes, and change management controls.
• Experience supporting SDLC controls, evidence collection, compliance monitoring, remediation management, and audit readiness activities.
• Strong analytical and reporting capabilities with advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, data analysis, control testing, and compliance reporting.
• Strong stakeholder management, communication, organizational, documentation, and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently across cross-functional teams.

Preferred Professional and Technical Expertise :

• CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) or equivalent audit, governance, risk, or compliance certification preferred.
• Experience supporting governance, risk, and controls activities within Workday environments, including ERP transformation and operational governance initiatives.
