Role details
Six active Workday programs, a global client portfolio, and an AI delivery agenda that goes well beyond ticking a box on a proposal.
You'll lead a portfolio of complex Workday implementations as Delivery Lead, sitting across six active projects while also shaping how AI is practically applied within both the Workday solution and the delivery process itself. You'll manage program offices, own client relationships at the executive level, and set the direction for how the team works, not just whether it delivers on time.
The team operates across Australia, New Zealand, and internationally, so you'll be working across time zones regularly. Travel is part of the role. The scale of the portfolio means you're genuinely overseeing a broad body of work, including emerging initiatives like Sana and Paradox alongside core Workday programs. That breadth suits someone who gets restless running a single project.
The company invests heavily in formal and informal training at every level, so there's real structure behind professional development, not just a line in an offer letter. You'll also be expected to contribute to pre-sales activity, which gives you visibility into how the business grows and where the next body of work comes from. For the right person, that's worth something. You'll be based in Brisbane and need current Australian working rights, as visa sponsorship isn't available for this role.
What You'll Do
- Lead multiple Workday implementation workstreams simultaneously, managing scope, milestones, budget, and delivery quality across six active engagements.
- Own the AI agenda for your programs, advising clients on Workday's AI capabilities and embedding automation into design, configuration, testing, and documentation.
- Engage and influence senior client executives across global organisations, building trusted relationships and managing competing priorities at the portfolio level.
- Establish and run program office functions, including governance, financial management, risk mitigation, and performance reporting.
What You'll Need
- Minimum five years of Workday experience with at least two major end-to-end implementations delivered as PM or Delivery Lead.
- Master-level proficiency in Workday Financial Management and account delivery management, with 12 or more years of relevant experience overall.
- Demonstrated experience embedding AI or automation into large-scale delivery programs, with working knowledge of responsible AI and data governance.
- Global delivery experience across multiple countries and time zones is highly desirable.
