Responsibilities

- Define and track measurable progress indicators across workstreams, and report on them consistently
- Manage the team's deliverables, timeline, and accountability
- Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and blockers before they surface as problems
- Prepare for and lead detailed stakeholder reviews, including deep-dive questioning from senior leadership
- Coordinate across internal teams and the vendor to keep the implementation on schedule and on scope
- Escalate issues clearly and early, with data to support the escalation
Skills
- 8+ years of hands-on project management experience, with direct experience managing a third-party vendor delivering a system implementation
- Demonstrated ability to build project plans, status reporting, and tracking artifacts from scratch, not just maintain existing ones
- Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills
- PMP or equivalent certification
- Must be authorized to work legally in the US without sponsorship, now or in the future
- Prior experience managing a Workday implementation (or a comparable large-scale HRIS/ERP implementation) strongly preferred
