Here at Focus Cloud, we are working with a Toronto-based organization embarking on a major finance transformation programme centred around the implementation of Workday Financials and Workday Adaptive Planning. They are looking for a hands‑on Workday Adaptive & Finance Lead to act as a trusted advisor to the business, providing independent oversight of the implementation while partnering with Finance, Technology, and delivery teams to ensure successful outcomes.

  • Champion a "test early, test often" approach throughout the programme lifecycle
  • Review defects, challenge assumptions, and help drive effective resolution of issues
  • Provide independent advice and recommendations to business stakeholders
  • Support business readiness, adoption, and go-live activities

What We're Looking For

  • Strong experience with Workday Adaptive Planning
  • Background in FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, General Ledger, and finance operations
  • Experience working on large-scale finance transformation programmes
  • Strong testing, QA, UAT, or test governance experience
  • Ability to challenge delivery partners and provide objective recommendations
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills

Additional Information

  • Hybrid role based in Toronto (2-3 days onsite)
  • Initial engagement expected to run for approximately 20-24 months
  • Adaptive Planning go-live targeted for March 2027
  • Workday Financials go-live targeted for May 2028
