Role Summary

UT Medicine is undertaking a multi-phase Workday ERP implementation. Phase Two expands the platform to Human Capital Management (HCM), Payroll, and workforce systems, migrating employees from UT Austin's Workday environment into a new, independent UT Medicine instance. We are seeking experienced Workday consultants to support design, configuration, integration, and deployment of HCM and Payroll capabilities for a fast-growing academic medical center — scaling from roughly 1,731 employees today to approximately 6,000 at hospital activation in 2030.

Design HR operating model architecture and data models that scale across multiple growth phases of the organization.
Configure and support integrations between Workday and adjacent systems, including UKG Pro Workforce Management (time & attendance) and the live Epic EHR environment.
Support integration with UT System benefits and voluntary retirement programs, and with the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) mandatory retirement programs.
Accommodate academic governance requirements for faculty appointments, including hiring, promotion, tenure review, and academic-year salary structures, in coordination with UT Austin's Office of Faculty Affairs.
Configure HCM and Payroll to support clinical investigators with blended clinical, education, and research time allocations, including effort certification and sponsored research payroll compliance.
Support stand-up of net-new HR functions, including Talent Development, Learning & Development, expanded Benefits and Leave Administration, and a tiered HR Operations/Service Center model.
Manage cross-company data flows and seamless processing for employees holding concurrent roles at UT Austin and UT Medicine.
Partner with client stakeholders, Accenture project leadership, and other subcontractor teams to deliver configuration, testing, data conversion, and deployment activities on schedule.

Experience with large-scale Workday implementations, ideally in higher education, academic medicine, or healthcare environments.
Working knowledge of Workday business process configuration, supervisory organizations, position management, and security frameworks.
Experience designing or supporting payroll operations from the ground up, including policy, controls, and compliance.
Familiarity with integrating Workday to third-party systems such as UKG Pro WFM, Epic, or similar EHR/time-and-attendance platforms.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to work within a multi-vendor delivery team.
Ability to work onsite or hybrid in the Austin, Texas market.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

Experience with academic governance structures, faculty affairs processes, or tenure/promotion workflows.
