Description

• Own end-to-end delivery accountability for one or more Workday engagements, managing scope, schedule, budget, resources, and quality to contractual commitments.
• Serve as the senior point of contact for client executive and operational leadership, building trusted relationships that extend beyond the project lifecycle.
• Lead project governance including steering committee meetings, status reporting, risk and issue management, and change control processes.
• Coordinate cross-functional workstream leads (HCM, Financials, SCM, Integration, Testing) to ensure cohesive delivery and inter-workstream dependency management.
• Proactively identify delivery risks, develop mitigation strategies, and escalate issues with clear recommendations and resolution paths.
• Manage staffing plans and resource allocations in collaboration with practice leadership, ensuring the right skills are deployed at the right time.
• Support contract management, SOW adherence, and change order processes in partnership with account leadership

Requirements

• 7+ years of enterprise project or program management experience, with a significant portion focused on Workday implementations.

• Demonstrated success leading full-cycle Workday deployments in healthcare or comparably complex, regulated environments.
• Broad familiarity with Workday functional domains (HCM, Financials, SCM) sufficient to lead cross-workstream delivery conversations.
