Workday Digital Product Owner - Time

Description

You will own the full digital lifecycle of time tracking products for the company's operations worldwide, with platforms that affect tens of thousands of staff and must stay reliable and compliant.

You will sit in the Digital People Services team, part of the Digital Delivery & Operations unit that supports the People & Culture strategy. The unit works on a portfolio model covering Workday Time Tracking and several regional and local systems.

• Configure and maintain the Workday Time Tracking module hands-on: build time templates, manage time calculations and create advanced calculated fields.
• Knowledge of payroll earnings and deductions breakdowns across several countries is a big plus.

Candidates without it may be considered only with substantial years of experience solely in Workday Time Tracking. Candidates whose experience is general HCM with only occasional Time Tracking configuration will be discarded.
• At least one full-cycle Time Tracking implementation in which you served as an independent configuration consultant or subject matter expert.
• Solid knowledge of Workday HCM integrations and of time-to-payroll data flows, across multiple countries if possible.
• At least one year of hands-on Tier 3 (L3) support work within Workday Time Tracking.
• Ability to engage and influence stakeholders across HR, Legal, Finance and IT in matrix organizations, with experience managing third-party vendors and SLAs.
