The Role

We're looking for a Workday Practice Lead to own and grow our Workday proposition. This is a senior, high-impact role with two equally important remits: leading our Workday delivery team, and being the face of Team Wheel in our relationship with Workday itself.

The right person will be as comfortable building trust with Workday's partner and alliances teams as they are mentoring a consultant, scoping a project, or sitting in a client boardroom.

We believe in paying fairly and being upfront about it. For this role, we're offering a base salary of £90,000–£110,000 depending on experience, with an stretch-target earnings potential of up to £180,000 through a performance bonus tied to practice growth and partnership outcomes. For the right candidate we are open to building a creative package.

What You'll Do

Lead the Practice

• Own the end-to-end performance of Team Wheel's Workday practice — revenue, utilisation, quality, and team morale

• Manage, mentor and develop a growing team of Workday consultants and functional leads

• Define and continuously improve delivery standards, methodologies and toolkits

• Act as escalation point and senior advisor on complex or high-stakes client engagements

• Work closely with Sales and Account Management to scope, price and win new Workday work

• Contribute to the overall Team Wheel leadership team and wider company strategy

Own the Workday Relationship

• Serve as Team Wheel's primary relationship owner with Workday — across partner management, alliances, and field teams

• Proactively nurture and develop the partnership, increasing our tier, certifications, and access to Workday programmes

• Stay close to Workday's product roadmap, go-to-market priorities and partner incentives, translating these into opportunities for Team Wheel

• Represent Team Wheel at Workday events, Rising, and partner forums

• Identify and pursue co-selling and referral opportunities with Workday account executives

• Ensure Team Wheel maintains and grows its Workday-badged credentials and certifications

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Excellent relationship-builder — you earn trust with partners, clients and internal teams alike

• Significant hands-on experience implementing or consulting on Workday (HCM, Financials, or both)

• A track record of managing or leading a team of consultants or functional specialists

• Prior experience managing a vendor or partner relationship — ideally with Workday directly, or a comparable enterprise software vendor

• Strong commercial acumen: you understand how a practice P&L works and how to grow one

• Experience in a consulting firm or boutique HR tech services business

• Existing network within Workday's UK partner or alliances organisation

Desirable

• Experience growing a practice from an early stage

• Workday Pro certification(s) in at least one functional area

Why Join Team Wheel

• A senior, visible role with genuine influence over company direction

• The chance to shape a practice — not just run it

• A collaborative, people-first culture where good work is recognised

• Competitive salary, performance bonus, and benefits package

• Flexibility in how and where you work
