Major Entertainment Company
Job Description: Hiring Manager's Background & Reasoning for Position:
- Manager comes from a tech background (B2B/B2C), strong in tech-driven environments, effective in working with tech teams.
- Manager pulled into another critical project; a contractor will take over this migration project with Manager providing initial guidance but limited ongoing involvement.
Project Overview & General Notes:

- Develop and execute test scripts; oversee user acceptance testing
- Create and implement a comprehensive communications plan for affected stakeholders
- Ensure all impacted personas are identified and engaged in the change process
- Need someone who understands the Client culture of "people over process" but maintains rigor while remaining flexible and dynamic to work in environments less comfortable with rigor.
Must Haves:
- Change Management: Demonstrated expertise in leading organizational change, especially in HR migrations.
- Communication: Highly effective in both verbal and written communication.
- Holistic Thinker: Able to connect dots, identify gaps, and drive cross-functional collaboration.

- Testing & UAT: Experience in use case identification, test script writing, and user acceptance testing.
- Proactive: Able to anticipate needs and engage with stakeholders, including other Workday clients.
- Technical Depth: Not required to be deeply technical (there is a technical PM on the project).
Nice to Haves:
