  • Proficiency with defect management tools such as JIRA, Azure DevOps, or HP ALM
  • Prior experience working alongside Workday implementation partners
  • Workday certifications in HCM, Finance, Payroll, or Security preferred
  • PMP, Scrum Master, or ISTQB credentials preferred
Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Lead and coordinate all testing phases across Unit, End-to-End, Regression, UAT, and Payroll Parallel Testing
  • Manage daily testing operations including standups, defect triage, issue escalation, and release readiness activities
  • Oversee the full defect lifecycle including prioritization, root cause analysis, retesting, and executive reporting
  • Coordinate testing efforts across HCM, Payroll, Finance, Benefits, Time Tracking, Integrations, Security, and Reporting workstreams
  • Validate Workday business processes, tenant configurations, security roles, integrations, and cross-functional workflows throughout the implementation lifecycle
  • Support payroll parallel testing including gross-to-net validation, reconciliation, tax validation, and discrepancy analysis
  • Build test scenarios, mentor business testers, and maintain comprehensive test evidence and documentation
  • Facilitate governance meetings, status reviews, and stakeholder communications across the program
  • Support cutover planning, production readiness, and post-go-live coordination
