As a trusted Workday partner, Skillcentrix advises leading organizations-including Fortune 500 clients-on adopting skills-based operating models across talent, learning, and workforce planning. Our work sits at the intersection of strategy, technology, and execution, with a sharp focus on measurable value realization.

We are growing our Advisory Practice and are seeking a Principal, Workday Advisory Services to lead complex client engagements, partner with senior executives, contribute to business development, and deliver high-impact advisory services. This role is ideal for a senior, client-facing leader with deep experience in HR transformation, skills strategy, and enterprise change. As a result, this role requires comfort operating in ambiguity, helping clients make decisions while strategies are still forming, and translating executive intent into practical, actionable paths forward. Success in this role depends as much on judgment and influence as it does on certification with formal change frameworks.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the evolution of Skillcentrix Advisory Services, shaping offerings across skills strategy, governance, learning, and change
• Design and lead end-to-end HR and skills transformations, delivering measurable, value-based outcomes
• Lead complex, multi-workstream transformation programs, including:
  • HR strategy and governance
  • Change management and communications
  • Organization and talent readiness
  • HR service delivery, technology, data, and analytics
• Advise Fortune 500 clients on Workday Skills Cloud, Learning, and Talent strategies
• Partner with C-suite and senior leaders to align talent strategies with business priorities and improve workforce agility
• Influence senior stakeholders and drive engagement across client and internal teams
• Support business development through proposal development, client conversations, and executive presentations
• Provide thought leadership on skills-based workforce practices across industries, including healthcare and financial services

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in HR Strategy, HR Transformation, HR Operating Models, and HR Technology
• Experience in a Workday consulting or advisory environment, advising clients on skills-based and HR transformation initiatives
• Familiarity with formal change management methodologies (e.g., Prosci, ADKAR) is expected; ability to apply them pragmatically in dynamic, ambiguous environments is essential
• Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity, influence senior leaders, and drive clarity in fast-moving, high-change environments
• Proven success leading large, complex transformation programs with multiple workstreams
• Strong executive presence, communication, and influencing skills
