  • Manage vendor relationships, contracts and service level agreements to ensure the timely delivery of quality services and solutions
  • Monitor project risks, issues and dependencies, and develop mitigation strategies to address potential roadblocks and ensure project success
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives post-implementation to optimize Workday functionality, enhance user experience and maximize business value
  • Communicate regularly with executive leadership and project sponsors to provide updates on project status, milestones and key achievements


Program Director Requirements:

  • Proven track record of successfully managing large-scale, complex projects with cross-functional teams and tight deadlines
  • Extensive knowledge of Workday modules, functionalities and best practices, with hands-on experience in configuration, testing and deployment
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to inspire and motivate teams, drive collaboration and foster a culture of accountability and excellence
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and senior executives
  • Demonstrated expertise in change management, including developing communication plans, delivering training sessions and managing organizational change
  • Experience working with external vendors, consultants and implementation partners to deliver high-quality solutions and services
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify issues, evaluate alternatives and implement effective solutions
  • PMP, Agile, or other relevant project management certifications are highly desirable
