Why we're hiring:
WPP is undertaking a major global People Technology transformation to deploy Workday HCM across the organisation, simplifying the People landscape, improving data consistency, strengthening core People capabilities, and enabling scalable adoption of AI- and data-led insights.

This role will play a critical part in ensuring successful deployment and adoption of global solutions through structured change management, stakeholder engagement, and scalable frameworks.
