Workday Project Manager

Workday Project Manager

Up to £650 p/d - outside IR35

Location: London (4 days on-site/1 day WFH)
Contract Length: Initial 6 months

A leading engineering business is seeking a delivery-focused Project Manager to lead a high priority Workday rollout. They are migrating from a legacy HR system to Workday as part of a strategic shift in their HR and ERP landscape. This critical project will involve delivering the integrations (with Kronos/UKG, AD/Entra ID, and the existing ERP), building out functionality, and ensuring robust testing, rollout and post-go-live support.

The Role:

You'll take full ownership of the next phase of delivery. The business needs someone who brings deep Workday knowledge, particularly around what's possible, and who thrives in fast-paced, change-driven environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive the successful delivery of Workday (full functionality, integrations, rollout, testing)
• Ensuring hyper care/hyper support post deployment
• Define and document HR processes and integration requirements
• Lead internal HR working groups and workshops
• Manage key stakeholder relationships across HR, IT, and external suppliers
• Own and execute rollout and planning
• Report into department heads with regular stakeholder updates

What We're Looking For:

• A seasoned Project Manager with demonstrable Workday experience (ideally end-to-end)
• Experience in complex integrations (Workday + AD/Entra AD Kronos/UKG or similar)
• Comfortable operating in early-stage environments (building process, defining backlogs, setting standards)
• Excellent stakeholder management and third party management (Albida) skills
