- Identify and proactively mitigate risks that could impact project scope, timelines, quality, or budget.
- Ensure compliance with Workday implementation methodology and delivery assurance requirements.
- Act as a trusted advisor to clients, promoting Workday best practices and driving successful adoption.
- Present project updates and recommendations to executive stakeholders and project teams.
- Support business development activities, including solution scoping, delivery planning, statements of work (SOWs), and change requests.
- Manage project financial performance and ensure delivery remains aligned to contractual commitments.
- Mentor and provide guidance to Project Managers and delivery team members.
- Identify opportunities to expand client engagement through additional services and solutions.
- Foster a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and professional development.
