Job description

Overview

We are seeking an experienced HR Tech Lead to oversee the functional configuration and delivery of Workday (and connecting systems) within a large-scale HR Transformation project. This role will drive the end-to-end functional implementation of Workday across multiple countries, collaborating closely with senior stakeholders, technical teams, and business units (particularly with our Design Team) to ensure seamless integration and functionality across the organization. The role will also be accountable for ensuring Workday aligns with ongoing business-as-usual (BAU) operations. It will also be key to create a toolkit and develop accelerator tools to enable Flutter to rollout these deployments at pace and without a partner.

What you'll do

• Program Delivery: Lead the functional configuration and implementation of Workday across all modules (HCM, Recruitment, Payroll, Time Tracking, Absence, Reward, Talent, and Performance) to support a multi-country HR Transformation program.
• Team Leadership: Lead this area from a Flutter perspective while also holding the partner to account; act as a point of escalation for the team and report up to the Deployment Lead and Solution Architect.
• Stakeholder Management: Act as a key liaison between technical and business stakeholders, effectively translating technical requirements into clear, business-friendly language to facilitate decision-making.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work in close partnership with the Integrations Lead, Senior Data Lead, Senior Test Lead, and Tech Delivery Manager to ensure seamless functional delivery, data security, and system integration.
• Alignment with BAU Operations: Ensure the program's deliverables remain compatible with ongoing BAU HR functional work, providing balance and continuity across teams.
• Escalation and Reporting: Report and escalate any critical issues or dependencies to the Solutions Architect and Deployment Lead, ensuring proactive risk management and project timeline adherence.
• Toolkit creation: Create a toolkit and accelerator tools to enable Flutter to deliver these deployments from a technical perspective at pace and without vendor assistance.
• Experience: Several years' experience managing a product related to HR/People Technology and delivering people tech solutions to HR and the wider business.
• Workday Expertise: Extensive hands-on experience configuring and implementing Workday, including specialized modules like Payroll, Recruitment, Time Tracking, and others.
• Leadership Experience: Experience leading a team within a fast-paced, multi-country environment across multiple Workday modules; provide guidance on Workday configuration and cross-module considerations.
• Skills: Strong organizational and project management skills, including the ability to handle conflicting priorities and deliver on time.
• Communication: Ability to translate complex technical details into business-friendly language to engage non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaboration: Experience collaborating with executives and interdisciplinary groups to solve challenges as a team.
• HR Experience: Demonstrated ability delivering high-quality HR interactive experiences.
