About the Role

As an Adaptive Planning Consultant, you will work within a team or independently to help clients transform their business planning needs—including budgeting, revenue, personnel, KPIs, quotas, capacity, territories, and reporting & analytics—using the Workday Adaptive Planning Business Planning Cloud. You will be part of a delivery team responsible for implementations for customers of all sizes across multiple industries.

In this role, you will act as a specialist, providing mentoring and oversight to junior team members while leading all phases of Workday Adaptive Planning implementation projects. Your day-to-day involves taking a consultative approach to move legacy models into Workday Adaptive Planning, leveraging your expertise to recommend the best solutions based on client requirements, budget, and timeframe. You will guide clients through facilitated design sessions and configuration decisions, ensuring rapid time to value by delivering engagements on time and budget. Additionally, you will develop and configure accurate forecasting models, conduct training sessions, and document the planning models and reporting delivered to clients.

Beyond delivery, you will serve as the go-to resource for project-related inquiries, communicating regularly and clearly to set proper expectations and ensure client success. You will also support business development activities, including producing estimates for the delivery of work, and actively share learnings and problem-solving strategies with colleagues.
