In this role you will be a member of the WorkDay Services team supporting and enhancing our existing WorkDay deployment, this role will grow as we further deploy and expand our WorkDay PSA and integrated applications for both coverage geographically and capability.

Reporting to the WorkDay PSA Product Manager this role is responsible for providing a world class level of technical and process knowledge to support issues as they arise and lead the solution development and deployment of enhancements enabling our users to drive more value from our WorkDay solution.

The key to this programme is that technology is an enabler for change, it’s at the heart of what we do, but it’s not all of what we do. The people aspects of this programme are vital to its success. This role will help deliver that success on an ongoing basis for many years to come.
