The position is for an Enterprise Architect based in Italy at Workday, a Fortune 500 company that provides a leading AI‑driven platform for managing people, finance and agents. As part of the Solution Consulting team, the architect serves as the technical backbone of client evaluations and sales cycles, translating complex requirements into future‑state designs that showcase the benefits of Workday's SaaS offering over legacy systems.
