Workday Architect

Hi. We’re Hummingbird.

We’re elevating patient access so patients can get healthcare how, when, and where they need it. We partner with healthcare systems to transform how patients access care, enabling their providers to focus on what matters most – caring for patients. By managing patient access as a technology-enabled service, we help health systems stabilize costs and improve patient experience while creating good jobs that attract and retain talent in the industry. Our team of experts is obsessed with the connection between the people, processes, and technology that make healthcare organizations hum. Join us and help build the healthcare experience we want for our communities, our families, and ourselves.

Summary

Be the architect behind a Workday ecosystem that stays stable and keeps getting better.

As our Workday Architect, you’ll design and govern the strategy for our Workday instance, so it remains secure, scalable, and easy to use as Hummingbird grows. You’ll think at the highest level of our Workday environment: what we should adopt next, what we should standardize, what we should keep stable, and how we can help teams work faster by simplifying workflows and automating the right things.

On a typical day, you’ll be partnering with business and technical teams to translate messy, real-world needs into clear architectural decisions. You’ll review designs, set standards, guide integrations and reporting patterns, and help teams make smart tradeoffs—so we don’t create fragmentation over time.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you lead through expertise, judgment, and enablement (not people management).

What You’ll Do

Design and evolve the end-to-end architecture for Workday and adjacent enterprise platforms, keeping systems coherent, scalable, and secure
Define and socialize standards for configuration, security, reporting, and integrations so teams can build consistently
Translate ambiguous or competing cross-functional requirements into clear decisions, documented tradeoffs, and durable architecture patterns
Establish governance guardrails (and decision frameworks) that prevent technical debt while still supporting delivery speed
Own integration patterns and data design standards across systems, including APIs, middleware, and third-party connectors
Set expectations for system-of-record decisions, master data ownership, and “golden record” definitions across the enterprise
Define release and change-management approaches, including impact analysis and readiness planning for major Workday updates
Build reusable documentation (diagrams, rationale, reference architectures) that both technical and non-technical partners can actually use
Act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders—from technical teams to executive leaders—on platform strategy and architectural direction
Mentor and enable teammates by modeling strong systems thinking and helping others navigate high-ambiguity decisions

Required & Desired Skills

What You’ll Bring

5+ years as a Workday Solutions Architect or Product Owner, covering configuration, security, reporting, and integrations (or Workday Admin experience paired with Solutions Architect/Product Owner experience on another HRIS)
8–10+ years of advanced impact in enterprise applications, including at least one HRIS (Workday strongly preferred), with consistent multi-team influence
Strong experience in Workday reporting and analytics across modules
Experience building reusable standards, frameworks, tools, or programs adopted beyond your home team
Deep systems thinking and sound judgment in high-risk, high-uncertainty work; able to guide others through ambiguity
Expertise in integration methods, middleware, and secure data sharing standards
Strong communication skills: you can turn complex technical problems into clear decisions and adoption paths
Comfort working with both technical teams and executive stakeholders
Familiarity with audit, compliance, and platform governance (including SOX environments, risk management, and access control best practices)

Nice to Have

Workday Pro or Architect certification(s)

What Helps You Shine

Please note that we use both your resume and your written and oral communication throughout the hiring process to understand your fit for this role.
Thoughtful, clear responses help us see your attention to detail, your professionalism, and your ability to communicate with care — all skills that are essential for success on our team.

Expectations for Focus & Presence

To support patients and each other, this role requires your full attention during scheduled work hours. Our Outside Employment Policy doesn’t allow overlapping work or “job stacking,” so any outside work must happen fully outside your Hummingbird schedule.
We’re a camera-ready team, and you’ll need to be on camera during training and when needed during the workday after training ends.
We value connection, teamwork, and being present, which is what keeps our patients safe and our team supported. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll feel at home here. If you’re hoping to hold another job during the same hours, this job won’t be the best match.

Please Note: The seniority level of this position may be adjusted during the recruitment process based on candidate skills and experience.
