Join Kainos and Shape the Future At Kainos, we’re problem solvers, innovators, and collaborators - driven by a shared mission to create real impact. Whether we’re transforming digital services for millions, delivering cutting-edge Workday solutions, or pushing the boundaries of technology, we do it together.We believe in a people-first culture, where your ideas are valued, your growth is supported, and your contributions truly make a difference. Here, you’ll be part of a diverse, ambitious team that celebrates creativity and collaboration.Ready to make your mark? Join us and be part of something bigger.Main Purpose of role:As a Workday EDM Forward Deployed Engineer (HCM Consultant) at Kainos, you will operate as an embedded EDM Workday configuration specialist working directly within customer environments, driving hands-on adoption, optimisation, and deep business integration of EDM from go live onwards. You will be the technical bridge between Kainos and the customer; functioning as an extension of the client's internal team while maintaining close alignment with Kainos's Customer Success, Support, Onboarding, and Product functions. The Workday HCM Forward Deployed Engineer exists at the intersection of Workday Configuration, technical delivery and customer success. You will remove friction, resolve configuration blockers, enable client teams, and guide the client from go live through to high maturity usage — the point at which adoption is self-sustaining, and churn risk is minimal. You will be embedded across several Employee Document Management accounts concurrently, working in close partnership with the assigned Customer Success Manager on each account. The CSM owns the client relationship; you own the technical enablement and adoption. Key Responsibilities:Design, configure, and optimise EDM & Workday configuration within live customer environments, working as a trusted technical peer to client IT, HR, and operations teams. Proactively identify and remediate configuration debt, performance constraints, and architectural limitations before they require escalation. Resolve complex technical blockers and support the escalation process by providing rich environment context to accelerate case resolution. Ensure technical continuity from implementation into the FDE engagement, working closely with the Onboarding team at go live. Enable client administrators through direct knowledge transfer, producing configuration guides, integration documentation, and reusable templates to build sustainable internal capability. Identify technical signals of adoption risk and provide the CSM with regular technical health summaries to enable informed account reviews and early intervention. Guide clients through the three-stage maturity model, removing technical friction such as configuration gaps, integration failures, admin capability shortfalls, that prevents progression between levels. Define and track account-specific maturity milestones jointly with the Customer Success Manager, using adoption metrics and usage data as evidence. Feed structured product insight back to the Product team, surfacing recurring configuration constraints, missing capabilities, and underserved enterprise use cases. Document account-level technical history and contribute to the broader Foward Deployed function by sharing reusable assets, resolved issues, and deployment patterns with fellow FDEs. What we are looking for: Essential HCM Workday certification with demonstrable hands-on experience in leading Workday deployments and configuring live Workday environments. Proven ability to work directly inside enterprise customer environments, building trusted technical relationships with client IT and HR operations teams. Proven experience of managing complex stakeholder environments. Experience resolving complex integration and configuration challenges independently, with a bias toward pragmatic, well-documented solutions. Strong communication skills — able to translate technical detail clearly for non-technical stakeholders. Ability to manage concurrent work across multiple accounts, balancing responsiveness with structured prioritisation. Awareness of how technical adoption drives customer retention and long-term platform value. Collaborative working style with a genuine commitment to knowledge sharing and team capability development. Desirable Practical working knowledge of Kainos EDM — configuration, document management, template design, workflow automation, and version management. Experience in a forward deploy, embedded engineering, or technical account management role, ideally within a SaaS or enterprise software environment. Familiarity with adjacent Workday modules (Recruiting, Learning, Talent, Adv Compensation) that intersect with EDM document workflows. Exposure to customer success metrics, adoption health scoring, or maturity frameworks. Embracing our differences At Kainos, we believe in the power of diversity, equity and inclusion. We are committed to building a team that is as diverse as the world we live in, where everyone is valued, respected, and given an equal chance to thrive. We actively seek out talented people from all backgrounds, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other characteristic that makes them who they are. We also believe every candidate deserves a level playing field. Our friendly talent acquisition team is here to support you every step of the way, so if you require any accommodations or adjustments, we encourage you to reach out.
