Location: Remote with travel to Italy (Once per month) Contract Length: 6 Months (initially) Rate: £650 - £700 per day inside ir35 Start Date: ASAP Essential Experience: Hands on experience with Workday Transformations
The Opportunity We are supporting a leading organisation embarking on a critical Workday Financials transformation and are looking for an experienced Workday Financials Implementation Project Manager to help drive the programme forward.
This is not a role for someone who wants to sit in steering committees and produce status reports. We need a hands-on delivery specialist who can roll their sleeves up, tackle challenges head-on, and bring structure, pace, and accountability to a complex implementation.
The project requires a strong personality. Someone who can confidently manage senior stakeholders, challenge where necessary, and take ownership of delivering outcomes. We are looking for an individual with a few battle scars from previous Workday programmes who knows how to navigate difficult situations and keep projects on track.

Travel to Italy approximately once per month to engage with key stakeholders and project teams.
