  • Continuously improve release management processes by adopting best practices, automation tools, and stronger stakeholder engagement.
Qualifications
  • 5+ years of Workday experience with a strong understanding of Workday’s release cycle and system updates.
  • Proven experience in coordinating release management across multiple Workday modules (HCM, Payroll, Finance, etc.).
  • Hands-on experience building testing processes, test scripts, and quality assurance frameworks.
  • Demonstrated ability to work as a team of one, independently driving results with minimal oversight.
  • Strong vendor management and cross-functional communication skills.
