• Knowledge of enterprise platforms, integrated systems, product lifecycle practices, service operations, and value measurement.
• Experience managing Workday or another enterprise resource planning platform is an asset.
• Knowledge of Workday capabilities, integrations, vendor releases, release planning, and enterprise support models is considered an asset.
• Preference may be given to candidates with a product management certification.
• Familiarity with enterprise product operating models or agile delivery practices is desirable.
