About the Role

This role leads project management for the migration end-to-end, from planning and vendor coordination through go-live, and reports directly to executive leadership. The PM will own the project plan, governance artifacts, and cross-functional coordination required to keep a complex ERP/HRIS implementation on track.
What You'll Be Doing

• Build and maintain a comprehensive project plan covering the full Workday implementation lifecycle, from day one on the assignment
• Establish and maintain project artifacts (status reports, RAID logs, timelines, resource plans) as a baseline deliverable, not an afterthought
• 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

• Prior experience managing a Workday implementation (or a comparable large-scale HRIS/ERP implementation) strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to build project plans, status reporting, and tracking artifacts from scratch, not just maintain existing ones
