TA Operations ATS Project Manager
Responsibilities
Enablement — this is the core of the role:
- Independently create process maps, SOPs, and workflow documentation for current and future-state recruiting operations
- Write training materials, job aids, and quick-reference guides that recruiters and coordinators will actually use
- Facilitate training sessions and train-the-trainer programs — you run the room, not just design the deck
- Spot where manual steps can be simplified and document the improved path
- Support Workday Recruiting implementation from the talent acquisition side — recruiter workflows, requisition-to-offer flows, configuration validation
- Build test scripts, execute UAT scenarios, log defects, and track resolution through to close
- Support Paradox scheduling implementation: testing, validation, and end-user enablement
- BrightHire and/or HiredScore experience is a real plus
- Own your workstreams — manage task lists, flag risks early, follow through without being chased
- Turn meetings into decision logs, clear next steps, and accountability
- Write and speak clearly across TA, HR Ops, and technical teams
- Build PowerPoint decks and status summaries that make complex updates simple
- You've been in the weeds on a Workday TA implementation, not just observed one
- You have samples of process maps and training content you created yourself
- You naturally think about how a change in one step affects everything upstream and downstream
- Your most recent role was individual contributor — not managing a team that does this work
