• Effective Communication: Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, enabling informed decision-making and alignment.
• Trusted Partnership: Work closely with customers to ensure that goals, objectives, and work plans of the group align with the needs of the business. May participate in the review of buy/build and vendor selection decisions.
• Mentoring: Mentor and guide engineers on advanced modules, solution design, and system integration patterns.
• Global: Partner across regions and time zones, with flexibility to support initiatives spanning Asia Pacific, Greater China, EMEA, and the Americas.
• Technology: Leverage experience with UKG Pro, Workday, Jira, ServiceNow, and Agile methodologies to drive predictable, high‑quality delivery.

WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH

• Partner with other local and global engineering leaders to ensure aligned goals and outcomes.
• Work with product management to understand business requirements and prioritize outcomes.
• Collaborate with cross-domain engineers and integration partners to deliver coordinated solutions.
• Coordinate with internal teams across multiple time zones and regions.
• Engage vendors to drive system fixes and influence roadmaps/ideas.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, with 8–9 years of directly relevant experience.
• 5+ years of experience with UKG Pro WFM, UKG Workforce Central (WFC), or ADP eTime.
• 3+ years experience with Workday HCM.
• 3+ years Experience leading configuration engineering teams (configuration, integrations, reporting, and release readiness) supporting UKG Pro for Time and Workday across HR domains such as Core HR, Payroll, Compensation, Benefits, and Talent.
• Strong experience in Time & Absence / Attendance configuration, including experience with UKG platforms (e.g., UKG Pro).
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams in an agile environment and operate effectively with tools such as Jira and ServiceNow.
