Senior Financial Systems Architect - Workday

Hi! We are AMBOSS and we are looking for a **Financial Systems Architect** to join our team, and shape the future of medical education with us!

**About AMBOSS**

AMBOSS is a dynamic learning and clinical decision support tool committed to empowering medical professionals globally to deliver optimal care. Since our inception in 2012, we've harnessed cutting-edge technology to transform the way physicians acquire and apply scientific knowledge. Each AMBOSSian is passionate about being the champion of clinicians today - this motivates and unites us each day towards success. And what does success look like? When a clinician or med student tells us, "AMBOSS makes practicing medicine easier and enjoyable. I love what I do, and a big part is because of AMBOSS."

• **Own the tenant technically.** Configuration and business processes across record-to-report (General Ledger), procure-to-pay (Accounts Payable), order-to-cash (Accounts Receivable) and bank connectivity (Banking & Settlement), the security model and the financial data model.
• **Take over from the implementation partner.** Review, document and harden what was delivered, close the gaps and bring run responsibility in-house as early as possible after go-live. Where we still use consultants, you set the technical standard and review their work.
• **Own the Workday side of every integration.** Design and build the EIBs, Core Connectors, Studio integrations, web services and RaaS reports behind each interface and agree the interface contracts with our Data Platform engineers, who build and run the pipelines around the tenant.
• **Advise Accounting and Finance.** Translate requirements into system design, say clearly what Workday can and cannot do and advise where in the landscape a problem is best solved.
• **Run it like a production system.** Tier 2/3 support with root-cause fixes, testing discipline (unit, regression, UAT), the two Workday releases a year and a change log with configuration documentation. You enable the accounting stream leads who handle first-line questions.
• **Build the reports, dashboards and calculated fields** that Finance and leadership rely on, and make them self-serve where possible.
• **Be the technical expert on expansions.** HCM, treasury, automated VAT reporting and global payroll off DATEV: assess feasibility, design the solution and configure it.

• **Workday Financials depth.** 5+ years hands-on, including at least one full implementation and the post-go-live ownership of a tenant (hypercare, first closes, releases).
• **Configuration expertise.** Core modules (GL, AP, AR, Banking & Settlement), the business process framework, configurable security and the financial data model (FDM, worktags).
• **Reporting.** Custom and matrix reports, calculated fields and BIRT.
• **Systems thinking.** Experience connecting SaaS business systems (APIs, integration patterns) and the habit of thinking in end-to-end processes across tools.
• **Accounting understanding.** Chart of accounts, period close, reconciliations and audit requirements.
• **Engineering mindset.** Structured troubleshooting to the root cause, disciplined testing and documentation that others can use.
• **Communication.** Excellent English: precise with engineers, plain with finance colleagues.
• Hands-on experience with Workday integration tooling: EIBs, Core Connectors, Studio, web services, RaaS and XSLT
• Proficiency in German
• Workday Pro certification in Financials or Integrations
• Multi-entity, multi-currency or multi-GAAP experience (IFRS alongside local GAAP); experience with tax and e-invoicing platforms such as Avalara
