🎯 Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Workday Program Manager to lead a multi-track Workday implementation currently underway. IT resourcing is solid and a bench of independent subject-matter consultants is already engaged, but the program needs a dedicated business-side leader to own the plan, keep every workstream sequenced, and translate formal program management practice. This is a hands-on, get-it-done role rather than a purely strategic one.

 

🧩 What you will do

In this role, you will:

Lead the Workday Program Strategy:

• Own and manage the overall Workday program roadmap, including the work plan, project sequencing, resource planning, and delivery timeline across all active workstreams and future initiatives.
• Develop and maintain the program work breakdown structure, ensuring cross-functional dependencies are clearly defined and effectively managed.
• Drive a phased implementation strategy, prioritizing domestic deployments while planning for future international expansion and country-specific requirements.

Drive Cross-Functional Program Execution:

• Coordinate consultants, internal teams, business stakeholders, and external partners to ensure all workstreams remain aligned and progressing toward program goals.
• Serve as the hands-on Program Manager, balancing structured program management practices with the organization's current level of operational maturity.
• Collaborate with the Enterprise Program Management Office (EPMO) to leverage existing governance frameworks, templates, and delivery standards.

Manage Risks and Program Governance:

• Proactively identify program risks, dependencies, and organizational roadblocks, escalating issues appropriately to executive sponsors and business leadership.
• Monitor overall program health, timelines, and milestones while providing regular status updates to program sponsors and key stakeholders.
• Coordinate systems integrator (SI) remobilization and oversee vendor engagement throughout the program lifecycle.

Enable Organizational Success:

• Translate established project management best practices into practical execution plans that align with the organization's capabilities and evolving needs.
• Partner with business leaders to navigate organizational complexity, including decentralized teams, evolving job architecture, and Workday capability gaps.
• Ensure teams remain focused, aligned, and accountable while enabling successful delivery across all program workstreams.

 

🧠 What you will bring

The top candidate will have the following skills:

• Proven experience program-managing a Workday implementation (HCM required; Payroll, Financials, or other modules a plus), ideally across multiple concurrent workstreams.
• Comfort building and maintaining roadmaps, work breakdown structures, and cross-track dependency maps from scratch.
• Strong vendor and SI management experience, including remobilizing paused engagements.
• Ability to operate at the maturity level of the organization — pragmatic, adaptable, and focused on progress over process for its own sake.
• Experience navigating multi-country or multi-entity rollouts, including awareness of international labor requirements, is a plus.
• Excellent stakeholder management and executive communication skills; comfortable escalating organizational risk without personally trying to resolve it.

Ideally you have…

• PMP, Workday certification, or equivalent program management credential
