  • The Project Manager will coordinate work across DOAS, statewide ERP teams, functional and technical resources, payroll and finance teams, business analysts, and third-party benefit administrators.
  • The position will drive issues from identification and prioritization through root-cause analysis, corrective action, testing, production deployment, reconciliation, employee remediation, and verified closure.

  • Lead structured issue-triage, working, decision, and executive-status meetings.
  • Coordinate investigation of source data, Workday configuration, integration logic, vendor processing, transaction timing, and business-process causes.
  • Manage dependencies among related integrations and prevent separate teams from implementing conflicting corrections.
  • Coordinate test planning, test data, expected results, regression testing, vendor validation, and business acceptance.
  • Manage change-control and release-readiness activities from nonproduction environments through production deployment.
  • Confirm that corrected integrations reconcile to Workday payroll and benefits results and that affected employees and financial transactions have been addressed.
  • Track risks, decisions, overdue actions, resource constraints, and unresolved ownership; escalate promptly when commitments are not met.
  • Provide concise executive reporting on issue aging, affected populations, financial exposure, testing progress, blocked decisions, and resolution trends.
Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field from an accredited college or university AND three years of recent relevant project management experience, with a progression in responsibility AND eligibility to sit for Project management Professional (PMP) certification.
