This project involves supporting a complex Workday Recruiting implementation integrated with key partners, including Paradox, Bright Hire, and Hired Score. This is a high-impact role that requires a hybrid leader who can set strategy, manage complex programs, and execute hands‑on system configuration and delivery.

You will be driving configuration, integration, and adoption across platforms to optimize the end‑to‑end recruiting ecosystem.
