The role owns and supports the design, build and roll out of Workday dashboards across Finance and the wider business, partnering with Commercial Finance and other functions to translate recurring and ad-hoc reporting needs into live, drill-down views built in-house. Working closely with the Workday team and Hub super users, the role embeds self-service ways of working across regions and leaves the Hub with a sustainable dashboard estate that protects the operating model.

Configure Workday data sources, calculated fields and security so dashboards are accurate, performant and accessible to the right users across regions.
Run the pilot programme with one business function, capture feedback and iterate the design before scaling to the wider business.

Work alongside the Workday team to leverage out-of-the-box capability, surface platform constraints early and route fixes through the right channels.
Document each dashboard with a clear data lineage, refresh cadence and owner so the estate is auditable and sustainable beyond the contract.
Train Hub team members and end users on dashboard navigation, filters and self-service techniques so capability transfers in-house before the role ends.
Track delivery against the published KPIs and report progress to the Hub leadership team.
Contribute to the wider Hub optimisation pipeline, surfacing reporting-adjacent process improvements as dashboards expose them.
