The role will partner closely with Business, Finance, Operations, Technology, and external vendors to ensure that functional and technical requirements are accurately captured, the project governance is robust, risks and issues are well managed, and the CoreConnect solutions are fit-for-purpose.

This is a key change delivery role and requires strong analytical skills, disciplined delivery practices, and the ability to operate confidently across business and technology teams.

• Facilitate requirements gathering, process mapping, data definition, and functional specification development for allocated Workday modules or functional areas.
• Translate business needs into clear, well-structured requirements and user stories for configuration and development teams, ensuring alignment with programme direction.
• Coordinate Workday design, build, testing (SIT/UAT), data migration, cutover tasks, and readiness activities for assigned streams.
• Support the day-to-day management of Workday and third-party vendors (e.g. system implementation partners), ensuring delivery against scope and adherence to internal standards.
• Maintain strong project governance for assigned activities, including project plans, RAID logs, status reporting, and updates into programme-level governance.
• Support change management activities including training coordination, communication inputs, and business readiness assessments across the assigned project areas.
• Conduct impact assessments, identify gaps, propose solutions, and ensure operational alignment ahead of go-live within the scope of assigned responsibilities.
• Ensure quality assurance across documentation, testing outcomes, and process sign‑off for allocated deliverables.
• Contribute to continuous improvement in Workday processes and support post‑implementation enhancements under the direction of the Programme Manager.

 

• Deep understanding of core financial processes, i.e. R2R, O2C, P2P and ideally familiarity with sourcing technologies
• Exposure to a tier-1 HCM technology platform would be advantageous
• Strong analytical skills and ability to break down complex business problems
• Strong project management discipline: governance, RAID, scheduling, dependency management, reporting.
• Ability to communicate effectively with both business and technical stakeholders.
• High proficiency in Process Mapping (e.g., Visio), Requirements Documentation, and UAT/Test Management.
• Demonstrable understanding of good change management practice
• Strong vendor coordination and stakeholder management capabilities.
• Familiarity with data structures, integration concepts, and data migration approaches.
• Proficiency with PM / BA tools: e.g. Smartsheet, Jira, Confluence, MS365 as well as process-mapping tools (e.g. Visio, Nintex)

• Bachelor’s degree and/or professional qualification in Business, Accountancy / Finance, Technology, Engineering, or related discipline (or relevant professional experience).
• ERP related certifications (advantage): Ideally Workday Financials, but any other tier-1 ERP (e.g. Oracle, SAP)
• Ideally a Project Management or BA certification (e.g. PMP, PRINCE2, CBAP) is preferrable

 

• 5–10 years combined experience as a Business Analyst, Project Manager, or hybrid role within technology or business transformation.
• Proven experience in ERP implementations (finance, operations, HR, or other enterprise domains).
• Experience in structured project delivery (Waterfall, Agile, or Hybrid methods).
