HTA Technology Security Consulting is seeking a Total Rewards Workday PMO Lead for an anticipated assignment from October 12, 2026, through March 12, 2027. The assignment is subject to final client authorization.
Project Scope
This project is a reverse-engineering and documentation-recovery effort, not a new Workday implementation. The team will analyze the existing Workday HCM and ADP payroll solution and reconstruct and validate missing requirements, workflows, decisions, testing records, operating procedures, and implementation documentation.
The Lead will work as part of a project team that includes a full-time Workflow and Documentation Analyst, a part-time Documentation Specialist during stabilization and closeout, and an ADP/Payroll SME providing targeted payroll-testing and reconciliation support. The Analyst will produce detailed requirements, workflows, process maps, test traceability, SOPs, and job aids. The Lead will provide functional direction, coordination, and quality review and will not be expected to personally produce every project document.
Required Qualifications
At least five years of Workday HCM implementation experience.
Hands-on experience with Compensation or Advanced Compensation.
Hands-on experience with Workday Benefits.
Direct Workday-to-ADP payroll-integration experience.
Working knowledge of equity or stock administration.
End-to-end and parallel-payroll testing experience.
Proficiency developing workflows in Lucid or Visio.
Experience with requirements-to-test traceability, operational readiness, cutover, and stabilization.
Strong leadership, facilitation, documentation, and quality-review skills.
Proficiency with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
Preferred Experience
Experience reverse-engineering an existing implementation.
Experience reconstructing missing requirements, workflows, testing records, operating procedures, or implementation documentation.
Experience working from system configuration, historical project materials, testing evidence, and stakeholder interviews.
Responsibilities
Lead the reverse engineering of the existing Workday HCM and ADP payroll solution.
Provide functional direction to the Workflow and Documentation Analyst, Documentation Specialist, and ADP/Payroll SME.
Review reconstructed requirements, workflows, integration dependencies, decisions, testing records, and operating procedures for accuracy and completeness.
Lead the Total Rewards workstream and coordinate with the program PMO, technical teams, vendors, and business owners.
Maintain project plans, milestones, risks, actions, decisions, dependencies, and escalations.
Establish traceability among requirements, configured processes, testing evidence, and operating procedures.
Support operational readiness, payroll reconciliation, cutover, production transition, stabilization, and closeout.
Ensure project deliverables are complete, consistent, traceable, and ready for business-owner validation.
Assignment Requirements
Full-time, approximately 40 hours per week.
Exclusive dedication with no concurrent client assignments.
Remote work during normal U.S. business hours.
Anticipated core meeting window of 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
