About Mathtech
Mathtech, Inc. is a strategy and consulting services firm with offices in New Jersey, Virginia, and Arizona, serving state and local government agencies for more than 50 years. Our practice spans Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V), project oversight, PMO operations, procurement support, and enterprise system modernization across finance, taxation, transportation, labor, motor vehicles, and human services domains. Over the last decade Mathtech has delivered more than $147 million in professional services across 27 states and the District of Columbia, including long-term IV&V engagements on enterprise financial system modernizations of comparable scale and complexity to current Workday EFM deployments in state government.
The Engagement Opportunity
Mathtech is building IV&V capability for state government Workday enterprise financial management (EFM) modernization engagements. We are seeking an experienced Workday-credentialed independent contractor to serve as the Senior Workday Lead on current and upcoming pursuits, including multi-year engagements supporting state-level Workday EFS deployments. Engagement scope is platform-specific Workday oversight within a broader IV&V scope-of-work governed by RFP-defined Critical Components, milestone reporting cadence, and deliverable acceptance criteria.
This is an independent contractor role. The selected Workday Lead will work alongside Mathtech's IV&V Project Manager and IV&V analyst pods to deliver IV&V oversight on the implementation vendor's Workday configuration, integration, data conversion, testing, and go-live activities. The Workday Lead does not perform implementation work — strict independence from the implementation vendor is required throughout the engagement.
Scope of Work
Responsibilities on a typical Workday IV&V engagement include:
Lead Workday-specific IV&V assessments. Review the implementation vendor's Workday configuration decisions, tenant architecture, business-process configurations, integration patterns, and security model against Workday best practices and the State's defined requirements.
Architecture and design oversight. Conduct independent reviews of the Workday solution architecture across the full SKU footprint — Core Financials (FIN), Grants Management (GM), Accounting Center (ACC), Prism Analytics (PRA), Projects (PRJT), Inventory (INV), Procurement (PRO), Extend (XTND), Expense Management (EXPM), Workday Success Plan (WSP), and Core HCM (CHCM, where applicable) — and document findings in formal assessment reports.
Integration assessment. Evaluate integrations between Workday and surrounding systems (e.g., PeopleSoft / HRIS, eProcurement platforms, budget management solutions, Workiva, Euna Grants, Sympro) for design soundness, data integrity, and risk.
Data conversion oversight. Provide independent review of conversion plans, source-to-target mapping, ETL specifications, mock conversion results, reconciliation reports, and cutover rehearsals for legacy-to-Workday data migrations (often involving decades of mainframe-resident financial data).
Deliverable acceptance. Apply documented acceptance criteria to implementation-vendor deliverables, document findings on the Comments/Resolution Recording Form, and contribute to deliverable acceptance recommendations.
Status reporting. Contribute Workday-specific content to Weekly Status Reports, Monthly Status Reports (including the visual dashboard and OCM page where required), Pre- and Post-Go-Live Milestone Reports, and Executive Sponsor Briefings.
Risk identification and corrective action. Identify Workday-specific risks early, contribute to the IV&V Risk Log, and recommend practical corrective actions with named owners, target dates, and success criteria.
Sprint and release-readiness oversight. Observe sprint demos, retrospectives, and release-readiness reviews; assess velocity, defect leakage, and adherence to Workday delivery methodology.
Independence. Maintain strict independence from the implementation vendor and any of its subcontractors throughout the engagement, consistent with state IV&V conflict-of-interest requirements.
Required Qualifications
- Hands-on Workday implementation experience on at least one enterprise financial management modernization project of $10 million or greater total implementation cost, with multi-department or multi-entity scope.
- Active Workday Pro certification(s) in Financials, with additional certifications in at least one adjacent module (e.g., Grants Management, Procurement, Adaptive Planning, Projects, Prism Analytics, Extend) strongly preferred.
- 8+ years of total professional experience in enterprise systems implementation, configuration, or oversight.
- Demonstrated ability to assess Workday architecture, configuration, and integration decisions against industry best practices and contract requirements — not as an implementer, but as an independent reviewer.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of producing executive-grade reports, briefings, and findings documentation.
- Comfort operating in an IV&V / oversight role and willingness to maintain strict independence from the implementation vendor and any of its subcontractors.
- Willingness to work majority on-site at client locations as engagement requirements dictate, with the understanding that state government Workday engagements typically expect significant in-person presence at the client's facilities.
- U.S. work authorization. 1099 / independent contractor status (or W-2 employee of a partnering firm subcontracting to Mathtech).
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Multiple active Workday Pro certifications across the Financial Management product suite.
- Prior IV&V, QA, internal audit, or assurance experience on enterprise systems modernization engagements.
- Public sector experience — state, local, or federal government Workday or EFM modernization projects.
- Experience with the integration platforms commonly paired with Workday EFM in state government deployments (Workiva, Euna Grants, Sympro, Periscope ePro, Oracle PeopleSoft).
- Familiarity with industry frameworks referenced in state IV&V engagements: PMBOK 7th Edition, ITIL v4, ISO 9001, NIST cybersecurity framework, CIS controls.
- Project Management Professional (PMP), PMI-ACP, or equivalent project-management credentials.
- Experience supporting executive-level briefings and public-facing status reports (state IV&V monthly reports are typically posted to the agency's website).
- Prior experience operating under firm-fixed-price, deliverable-based government contracts.
Location and Travel: This engagement is hybrid, with the majority of time expected on-site at the client's facilities In Honolulu, HI. State agencies engaging IV&V services typically expect the IV&V team to mirror the implementation vendor's on-site presence, and implementation vendors on state Workday engagements typically maintain significant on-site presence at agency headquarters. Off-site work (artifact reviews, deliverable drafting, risk analysis, documentation) is supported between on-site engagements. The specific on-site cadence is defined per engagement in coordination with the client and is identified in the IV&V Project Management Plan.
Pay: $125,709.77 - $151,392.41 per year
