• Establish portfolio intake, governance, and transparent backlog prioritization across enhancements, defects, technical debt, dependencies, and release commitments.
• Coordinate implementations, integrations, upgrades, and Workday's semiannual releases, aligning configuration, data readiness, change management, testing, deployment, and post-production support.
• Oversee application support, incident resolution, root-cause analysis, service performance, documentation, and controls to minimize operational disruption.
• Prepare Games support models, cutover readiness, contingency planning, and operational transition, communicating roadmaps, risks, and decisions to senior stakeholders.
Required Competencies
• Minimum of 5+ years of progressive experience managing or delivering enterprise finance applications through product management, product ownership, or business systems analysis, or comparable roles.
• Deep functional knowledge of ERP, financial planning and reporting, procurement, and related integrations across enterprise finance platforms.
• Strong understanding of financial accounting, budgeting and forecasting, reporting, procure-to-pay, internal controls, and master data.
• Proven leadership of complex, end-to-end implementations across the full product lifecycle, including structured testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), release, and deployment.
• Experience managing roadmaps, portfolios, backlogs, sprint planning, dependencies, risks, budgets, and release cycles using Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid methodologies.
Valued Experience
• Hands-on Workday Financial Management and Workday Adaptive Planning experience.
• Experience directing managed service providers, systems integrators, and vendors.
• Clear written, verbal, facilitation, and presentation skills across audiences.
• Strong problem-solving, process-design, and decision-making skills with attention to detail.
• Experience balancing competing priorities against defined service expectations.
What We Offer
• Shape finance systems that support preparations for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
• Gain cross-functional exposure through partnership with Finance, Procurement, People, and Technology teammates.
