  • 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

  • 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
