Workday Integration Lead

This is a remote position.
Why this role, why now

INNOOVA is a Montreal-based boutique consulting firm founded in 2019 and the only certified Workday partner headquartered in Canada. We deliver end-to-end HRIS implementations and transformations across the public sector, healthcare, finance, technology, and education. Our team offers the rigour of a recognized firm without the weight of large corporate structures which means faster decisions, direct impact, and real ownership from day one.

As our next Workday Integration Lead, you won't just configure you'll architect. You'll run client workshops, own integration strategy across HCM and Finance builds spanning EIB, Core Connectors, and Studio, and turn technical complexity into clarity for non-technical stakeholders. It's a hands-on lead role: you set the direction, and you still build. We're looking for someone who advises, influences, and transforms not just someone who configures. Less bureaucracy, more impact.

RequirementsYour day-to-day impact

• Lead client workshops to shape Workday integration strategy and architecture across HCM and Finance modules.
• Design, build, and troubleshoot integrations using EIB, Core Connectors, and Studio from routine syncs to complex, custom builds.
• Translate technical integration concepts into clear, actionable updates for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Own project status communication with proactive and structured updates that keep clients and internal teams aligned.
• Stay hands-on: this is a lead role that still builds, not one that only directs.
• Contribute across multi-sector mandates (government, healthcare, finance, and beyond), building a track record across industries.
