The Opportunity:

Sun Life embraces a hybrid work model that balances in-office collaboration with the flexibility of virtual work.

This client-facing role configures, validates, and troubleshoots Workday integrations for our ancillary benefits clients-eliminating friction, reducing lift, and delivering a best-in-class onboarding experience. You'll work directly in client Workday environments to set up and optimize eligibility, enrollment, billing, and absence integrations as well as new integrations to come.

More than a configurator, you're a consultative partner. You'll listen to client needs, align with their business outcomes, and ensure our technology meets (and exceeds) expectations from the start.

• Innovation & Product Collaboration

• Work closely with internal development teams to scope new features and refine existing ones based on real-world client feedback.
• Contribute to roadmap planning with insights gathered during implementation cycles.

Sales & Distribution Support

• Partner with Sales, Distribution, and Account teams during pre-sale or onboarding transitions to understand client goals and set expectations.
• Join client meetings as a Workday integration subject matter expert, guiding clients through the process and positioning us as an easy-to-do-business-with partner.
• Help articulate our digital connectivity value proposition through the lens of technical feasibility and client outcomes.

Knowledge Management & Documentation

• Maintain a library of configuration guides, troubleshooting playbooks, and integration best practices.
• Help scale operational excellence by enabling repeatable onboarding processes and reusable frameworks.
