This project involves leading the day-to-day Workday implementation execution, partnering closely with the Systems Integrator (SI) and internal stakeholders. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

- Experience with strong HR process knowledge (HCM, Benefits, Payroll, Talent) with cross-functional partnership experience.
