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
