The opportunity
We’re looking for a delivery-ready Workiva specialist to join our growing practice.
This is a hands-on, implementation-focused role for someone who has already led or played a central role in Workiva deployments and can step into delivery with minimal ramp-up.
You will own end-to-end implementations or critical workstreams, working directly with senior finance stakeholders to design, build and deploy reporting solutions.
This is not a learning role – we’re looking for someone who can deliver independently from day one and raise the bar on quality across the practice.
What you’ll be doing
Lead delivery – end-to-end ownership
- Lead Workiva implementations or major workstreams end-to-end
- Own delivery across design, build, testing and deployment
- Act as the primary delivery contact for client stakeholders (Finance, Reporting, Controls)
- Drive delivery outcomes – on time, on budget, high quality
Hands-on solution design & build
- Translate reporting and regulatory requirements into scalable Workiva solutions
- Configure and build directly within Workiva (reports, data links, controls, workflows)
- Lead the migration of legacy reporting (Excel / manual packs) into automated solutions
- Define and implement robust, auditable reporting structures
Technical delivery & implementation
- Lead UAT, defect resolution and deployment cycles
- Own data integration, validation and reconciliation activities
- Apply best practice in reporting architecture, controls and governance
- Ensure outputs meet regulatory and audit standards
Client leadership & advisory
- Run workshops, solution walkthroughs and playback sessions
- Challenge and shape client requirements where needed
- Act as a trusted advisor on reporting transformation and best practice
Team & practice contribution
- Provide hands-on guidance to junior consultants
- Contribute to Workiva capability build, assets and delivery standards
- Support pre-sales and solution shaping where required
What we’re looking for
Experience (must-have)
- 3–6 years’ experience, with clear exposure to:
- Workiva implementations (financial reporting, ESG or regulatory reporting)
- Consulting or implementation-led environments
- Proven hands-on Workiva experience – not just user-level exposure
- Experience leading or owning delivery (end-to-end or major workstreams)
- Background in financial reporting, audit, or finance transformation
Workiva experience is essential for this role
Technical capability
- Strong understanding of:
- Financial / statutory / regulatory reporting
- Reporting processes, controls and governance
- Advanced Excel skills; exposure to data tools / SQL beneficial
- Ability to design and build structured, scalable reporting solutions
Consulting & delivery skills
- Confident leading:
- Client workshops
- Requirements gathering
- Solution walkthroughs
- Strong stakeholder management – able to operate with senior finance teams
- Comfortable owning delivery and making decisions
Attributes
- Ownership mindset – takes accountability for delivery outcomes
- High attention to detail and quality
- Commercial awareness
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment
Why join us
- Own delivery from day one – real responsibility, not shadowing
- Deep Workiva specialisation – build expertise in a high-growth platform
- High-impact work – CFO-level transformation programmes
- Accelerated progression – path into solution architecture and leadership
- Direct exposure – work closely with senior clients and leadership
Our values
- Thrive together - we win as one team
- Take ownership - accountability for outcomes, not just tasks
- Quality, every time - consistent, well-judged delivery
- Be human, first - trust, empathy and respect
