Workday HCM Project Manager / Functional Architect

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Contract

About the Company

A multi-site manufacturer in the Grand Rapids area uses Workday to support HR, payroll and plant operations. The team needs a hands-on lead to stabilize its live HCM environment and make time and attendance work reliably for hourly employees.

About the Role

You will take ownership of the post-go-live recovery. Work directly with HR leadership, Payroll, IT and Workday partners to decide what to fix first, make functional changes in the tenant and verify that fixes work in production. The first priorities are day-to-day stability, gaps between ADP and Workday, and reliable time and attendance.

This role is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with five days per week onsite and an ASAP start. The final contract term and conversion terms are to be confirmed. The company prefers a quick contract-to-hire start and will consider an experienced contract consultant who can travel to Grand Rapids and maintain the onsite schedule.

What You'll Do

Triage production issues, resolve access and ownership gaps, and set up a clear escalation path.

Own the recovery backlog, run requirements sessions and coordinate fixes with HR, Payroll, IT and vendors.

Configure or troubleshoot Core HCM business processes, security and related tenant settings. Test changes before release and verify the results.

Compare legacy ADP capabilities and controls with Workday and prioritize gaps by impact on operations.

Assess Scheduling gaps, shift punch windows, time codes and employee call-in workflows. Validate time and attendance changes against downstream payroll.

Set clear ownership for each fix, document decisions and confirm that users can complete the affected work.

Clarify module scope and vendor responsibilities across Core HCM, Payroll, Compensation, Recruiting and time and attendance.

What We're Looking For

Hands-on production Workday HCM configuration or troubleshooting experience.

Led stabilization, hypercare or significant optimization after a Workday go-live.

Can manage delivery and make functional changes in the tenant, not just coordinate a project plan.

Understands how time and attendance or Scheduling rules affect hourly shift workers and payroll.

Can commit to a Grand Rapids onsite schedule and a realistic start date.

Preferred: Workday Time Tracking or Scheduling configuration, ADP-to-Workday gap analysis, and experience supporting manufacturing, union or other multi-site hourly workforces.

Helpful: Workday Payroll, Absence, security, release management and vendor delivery. Integration experience is useful alongside functional ownership.
