Workday HR Project Manager

Workday HR Implementation Manager – Contract (Outside IR35)

A leading insurance firm in Central London is hiring a Workday HR Implementation Manager for a 6-month contract.

You will lead a Workday HR implementation from end to end. The business has been through mergers and acquisitions, so this isn’t a clean greenfield setup. You need to understand how Workday HR can be structured and separated across different entities and operating models.

If you’ve only done one module, or you’ve only worked in support roles, this won’t be for you.

The job

• Own the Workday HR implementation end to end
• Drive delivery from discovery through build, test, deployment and handover
• Lead stakeholders through a complex, post-M&A environment
• Manage 3rd party vendors and keep them honest on timelines and outcomes
• Work with PMO and governance structures without getting stuck in admin
• Run proper project controls: RAID, reporting, decisions, and delivery discipline

What we need

• Proven Workday HR implementation experience, delivered end to end
• Strong knowledge of Workday HR design in multi-entity organisations
• Clear experience supporting separation and change linked to mergers and acquisitions
• Comfortable working with vendors, internal teams and senior stakeholders
• Strong understanding of governance and structured project delivery

Ideal background

• Insurance sector experience
• Lloyd’s of London listed environment experience is strongly preferred
