Future State Design & Quality Assurance

  • Ensure defined service level agreements are in place and operational metrics are trackable
  • Support end-to-end testing activities including UAT coordination across integrations and systems
  • Contribute to quality and governance standards across the workstream

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication
  • Build strong working relationships with internal TPMs, Product Owners, Engineering Managers, Policy leads, and Change Management teams
  • Support preparation of executive-ready status updates, SteerCo readouts, and program-level communications.
  • Operate as a trusted delivery partner; surface observations, risks, and recommendations clearly and constructively

Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of Technical Program Management experience in large-scale enterprise IT programs
  • Demonstrated experience supporting HR/Payroll technology implementations, with Workday experience strongly preferred
  • Strong understanding of Agile/SAFe delivery methodologies; experience working in sprint-based execution environments

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; comfortable operating at all levels of an organization
