·         Stakeholder Management: Act as a bridge between HR, IT, and external implementation partners. Clearly communicate technical issues to non-technical business owners.

Required Qualifications:

·         Workday Expertise: Proven experience with Workday data management and integration testing (EIB, Core Connectors, or Document Transformation).

·         Payroll & Benefits Knowledge: Solid understanding of HR functional areas, including compensation, benefits structures, and payroll processing cycles.

·         Prior experience in a consulting or high-growth environment undergoing an HRIS implementation.

·         Familiarity with interpreting complex vendor file specifications.
