The Role

Own engagement governance and project management across Workday implementations, coordinating methodology, timelines, scope, budget, resources, risks, and cross-workstream delivery.

  • Client Stakeholder Management: Develop strong relationships with client project managers, sponsors, and workstream leads and serve as the primary organizational point of contact for day-to-day delivery coordination.
  • Workday Coordination: Coordinate required communications, checkpoints, and quality assurance activities with Workday teams, including Delivery Assurance where applicable.
  • Cross-Workstream Leadership: Facilitate coordination across functional, technical, data, testing, change, and client teams to maintain alignment and resolve dependencies.
  • Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify delivery risks and issues, establish mitigation plans, drive ownership, and ensure timely escalation and resolution.
  • Testing, Cutover & Readiness Governance: Coordinate overall testing, UAT, cutover, deployment, and stabilization plans across workstreams and ensure readiness criteria are clearly defined and tracked.
  • Executive Communication: Prepare concise, decision-oriented status reporting and facilitate steering committee and governance discussions with senior stakeholders.
  • Methodology & Continuous Improvement: Promote disciplined use of delivery methods, templates, and governance standards and contribute lessons learned and improvements to reusable engagement management assets.

Required Experience & Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience managing enterprise software deployments, preferably Workday Financials, HCM, or similarly complex cloud transformation programs.
  • Strong PMO, project planning, scope control, budget management, risk management, and cross-team coordination skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage client stakeholders and communicate effectively with senior project and business leaders.
  • Experience coordinating multiple functional and technical workstreams through testing, cutover, and go-live.

Workday Certifications

  • Large Enterprise (LE) Engagement Manager certification is a plus.
  • PMP or other recognized project management credential is valued.
