We are hiring two senior individual contributors who will each serve as the functional Workforce Planning platform owner for a distinct business unit. One role will support an established Workday Adaptive workforce planning environment, while the other will lead the business side of a new implementation and ultimately become the functional owner of that platform. Although the paths differ, both positions share the same long-term

responsibilities:
running reliable planning cycles, expanding adoption, and shaping a roadmap that enables evolving workforce decisions.

What You Will Do

Serve as the functional owner for the workforce planning platform of your assigned business unit, managing its roadmap and ensuring alignment with business planning needs. Lead the monthly workforce planning cadence and annual planning calendar, including planning assumptions, reconciliation, demand and supply updates, and business signoff. Translate user needs into functional requirements and acceptance criteria, prioritize the business backlog, and collaborate with HR digital technology on configuration, integrations, testing, and releases. Establish and maintain a platform and planning capability roadmap, balancing planning cycle reliability, new capabilities, user experience, and enterprise standards. Drive functional testing engagement, business acceptance, and the resolution of recurring data, process, and performance issues. Expand adoption of the platform by additional functions and planner groups through rollout planning, training, and ongoing support. Connect near‑term planning outputs with long‑range workforce decisions to enhance organizational strategy. Share reusable practices and improvements across business units while addressing justified differences in their planning needs. For the new implementation assignment: Partner with the overall Workforce Planning Program Manager, business WFP lead and our implementation partner on business discovery, functional requirements development and fit‑to‑standard decisions, testing, and planner readiness. Transition to functional ownership of the instance post‑launch.
