  • Milestone Delivery: Ensure all project milestones and deliverables are met on time and within scope, maintaining a sharp execution focus throughout the engagement.

  • Experience in Workday strongly preferred.
  • Deep expertise in project management, focusing on execution and delivery in complex integration environments.
  • Proven experience in Workday integration, optimization, and process redesign, with an understanding of job architecture principles.
  • Exceptional communication skills and a demonstrated ability to successfully engage with, influence, and manage expectations among SVPs and Executives.
  • Experience in managing external vendor partnerships, including systems integration and consulting firms, and acting as a liaison.
  • Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage complex, cross-functional projects effectively to meet project goals.
  • Highly skilled in MS productivity tools (SharePoint, MS Teams, PowerPoint, Excel), and other presentation and collaboration tools such as Smartsheet, and Planview.
  • Strong in critical thinking, data analysis and reporting, risk and controls, and process improvement.
