Location: Remote
Contract
Job Description:
To bridge the gap between technical data engineering and strategic project management. This is not a “heads-down” coding or developer role. You will function as a Deputy Technical Project Manager who leverages a deep technical background in Workday integrations or advanced data reporting to drive scope, strategy, and execution.
In this role, you will lead the charge for net-new external interfaces, map critical data logic across multiple business lines, and push cross-functional stakeholders toward active technical decisions. You are equally comfortable leading architecture workshops, managing project timelines/RAID logs, spotting downstream data dependencies, and driving issues to resolution before they stall implementation.
Required Qualifications & Experience
· Experience: 5+ years within the Workday implementation ecosystem, specifically operating in a Technical Business Analyst, Workstream Lead, or Integration Architect capacity.
· Technical Domain Fluency: Deep foundational mastery of Workday’s data model, Business Processes, and custom reporting capabilities. Hands-on exposure to Core Connectors, EIBs, Document Transformation, or Workday Studio is highly valued—though direct development is not the primary focus.
· Consultative Leadership: Proven success managing third-party vendors and internal business stakeholders. You must possess an assertive, solutions-oriented personality capable of driving alignment without structural authority.
· Project Controls Mastery: Demonstrated skill in tracking project health milestones, documenting complex requirements matrices, and operating within Jira, Azure DevOps, or Smartsheet.
Key Responsibilities
1. Delivery Management & Technical Governance (PM Focus)
· Establish Meeting Cadences: Own and orchestrate the workshop schedules, syncs, and status cadences for all net-new and legacy data interfaces.
· Drive Decisions: Facilitate technical discussions between HR, IT, Finance, and external vendors; confidently steer teams away from analysis paralysis toward clear, finalized technical decisions.
· Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify, track, and log risks, blockers, and architectural anomalies. Develop mitigation plans and escalate critical issues to senior leadership with proposed solutions.
· Rigorous Documentation: Manage comprehensive design artifacts, maintaining clear ownership records detailing who is responsible for what by when.
2. Integration & Data Architecture (Technical Focus)
· Thread Common Mapping Requirements: Analyze incoming data streams and identify shared global logic, unifying fields, and reusable schemas across distinct integration pipelines to streamline development.
· Collaborative Solutioning: Act as an advisory architect; guide functional teams on how to leverage Workday’s core data framework, object structures, and custom reports to optimize interface payloads.
