At Kainos, we’re building a World-class business development capability across the APAC region, powered by collaboration, innovation, and deep Workday expertise. As a trusted Workday Services Partner, we support organisations across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia Pacific to modernise People, Finance, Payroll, and Planning functions using Workday. 

As a Workday PreSales Solution Architect, you will play a pivotal role in shaping enterprise transformation journeys across diverse APAC markets. You’ll combine strong Workday platform expertise with pragmatic, consultative presales skills — helping clients navigate complexity, procurement rigor, and change at scale. 

This role balances strategic advisory capability with hands-on solution leadership, grounded in how APAC organisations evaluate, procure, and successfully adopt Workday. 

What you’ll do 

• Architect scalable Workday solutions for complex environments 
  Design end-to-end Workday adoption solutions that account for multi-country deployment, integrations, data privacy, security, reporting, and extensibility — with a clear view of implementation approach and delivery risk. 

• Shape pragmatic transformation roadmaps 
  Advise clients on realistic transformation journeys that reflect APAC delivery constraints, change maturity, and internal capability — ensuring solutions are achievable, adoptable, and valued. 

• Support enterprise and public sector procurement 
  Partner closely with Business Development teams on formal RFPs, tenders, and value cases common across APAC markets, including government and highly regulated sectors. 

• Build credibility with senior stakeholders 
  Engage confidently with executives, People and Finance leaders, IT, and procurement teams — acting as a trusted advisor rather than a product seller. 

• Improve presales effectiveness at scale 
  Contribute to consistent presales approaches, collateral, and pursuit discipline that improve pipeline quality and win rates across the region. 

• Represent Kainos in the APAC Workday ecosystem 
  Act as a visible Workday thought leader at regional events, client workshops, and partner engagements, reinforcing Kainos’ credibility in complex Workday transformations. 

What you’ll bring 

• Deep Workday capability 
  Strong hands-on knowledge of at least one of Workday HCM, Financials, Payroll, Adaptive Planning, or Strategic Sourcing, with a solid understanding of Workday architecture and deployment models. 

• Solution architecture mindset 
  Ability to position Workday solutions that integrate with broader enterprise landscapes, balancing functional ambition with delivery practicality. 

• Consultative, culturally aware communication 
  Confidence engaging with diverse stakeholders across APAC, adapting style to different markets, industries, and decision-making cultures. 

• Commercial impact 
  A proven track record of supporting successful bids, and helping clients make confident, well informed investment decisions. 

• Growth and learning orientation 
  Curiosity about Workday’s evolving roadmap and a desire to bring new thinking into client conversations across the region.
