Prepare agendas, document decisions and action items, assign owners, and follow up through completion
Maintain project documentation, status reports, dashboards, RAID logs, decision logs, and other governance materials
Track risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies and proactively escalate concerns
Monitor workstream progress and identify conflicts, resource constraints, and cross-functional dependencies
Support activities across requirements, design, configuration, data conversion, integrations, testing, training, deployment, and stabilization
Coordinate testing schedules, defect tracking, readiness checkpoints, and deliverable reviews
Support change-control activities and help assess impacts to scope, schedule, and resources
Prepare concise project updates and communications for stakeholders and leadership
Keep project information organized, current, and accessible

Strong organizational skills with excellent attention to detail and follow-through
Ability to synthesize complex information into clear status updates, action items, decisions, and next steps
Strong communication and meeting-facilitation skills
Ability to work independently, take direction, and proactively identify what needs to happen next
Proficiency with standard project-management and collaboration tools
Preferred Qualifications
PMP, CAPM, Agile, or comparable project-management certification
Experience supporting a Workday implementation, deployment, or major optimization initiative
Experience with another large-scale SaaS or enterprise software implementation
