Workday Product Owner

Interim Workday Product Owner

Rate: £800 per day (Outside IR35)

Location: UK Remote

Duration: 3 to 6 months with likelihood of extension

Start: ASAP

Overview

We are working with a fast moving global organisation who have recently rolled out Workday and need an experienced interim Product Owner to come in and help drive maturity, structure and governance around the platform. The previous Product Owner left quickly and there is a real need to get someone in immediately to keep momentum going and set the standard for how the function operates going forward.

This is a senior, highly autonomous role for someone who can hit the ground running and is comfortable operating in an environment that is still finding its feet with Workday.

What the Role Involves

• Acting as the primary Product Owner for Workday, owning the roadmap, prioritisation and backlog management
• Bridging People and Culture and IT, managing stakeholder expectations across a geographically distributed team
• Establishing structure, governance and ways of working around the Workday platform
• Managing roadmap discussions with senior stakeholders and driving clarity on priorities
• Helping the business increase its overall Workday maturity and leaving a blueprint for a long term solution

What We Are Looking For

• Strong and demonstrable Workday experience is essential
• Senior Product Owner capability with the ability to work autonomously from day one
• Excellent stakeholder management skills and comfortable operating across People and Culture and IT
• Experience working in fast moving or less mature environments would be a real advantage
• Broader HR systems background would be a bonus
