As a Workday Integration Engineer in the WPP Enterprise Data Group, you will design, develop, and maintain REST API-based integrations between Workday and the Work Management Data Spine platform. Workday is the strategic solution for both HCM and Financials across WPP, and this role is critical to ensuring reliable, secure, and performant data flows for employee, financial, absence, and organisational data across the enterprise.
You will leverage deep expertise in the Workday data model and REST APIs to build integration pipelines that extract and synchronise data across both HCM and Financial domains. Your work will ensure that employee profiles, organisational hierarchies, project accounting, client billing, and journal data is delivered accurately to the Data Spine for consumption by WPP Open Work Management Platform.
This role requires expert-level understanding of Workday's REST API surfaces, the underlying HCM and Financial data models, and how business objects relate across modules. You will also support the transition from the interim GPDS (Global People Data Solution) to Workday HCM as agencies are progressively onboarded.
You will be joining a team delivering a critical data integration platform that connects WPP agencies to a centralised Work Management solution, with the opportunity to become the subject matter expert for Workday integrations across the programme.
