  • Orchestrate cross-functional workstreams for configuration, integrations, data conversion, testing, deployment and release planning.
  • Establish the test strategy, schedule, entry and exit criteria, and governance for System Integration, User Acceptance, Parallel Payroll and Regression Testing.
  • Oversee defect governance, prioritization, resolution and retesting, and lead readiness assessments and go/no-go recommendations.
  • Develop cutover, deployment, transition and stabilization plans, assigning clear owners, timelines, dependencies and contingency actions.
  • Own project financial management, including budgets, forecasts, vendor expenditures, actual-versus-budget reporting and resource demand planning.
  • Define the stakeholder engagement and communications plan, align business and technical leaders, and secure timely decisions across global teams.
  • Manage vendors and system integrators against contractual commitments, deliverables, quality expectations and escalation paths.

  • 5-10+ years of progressive enterprise project management experience delivering complex, cross-functional technology programs.
  • 3-5+ years leading Workday and/or Dayforce implementations or major enhancement programs, with direct accountability for scope, schedule, budget and delivery outcomes.
  • Demonstrated experience managing global HRIS, payroll or workforce management projects from initiation through stabilization.
  • Proven vendor-management experience with system integrators and Application Management Services providers, including deliverable and performance oversight.
  • Strong command of project management disciplines, including governance, financial controls, risk and issue management, change control, resource planning and executive reporting.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
