Workday Product Owner Talent Acquisition

Workday Talent Acquisition Product Owner

This is not a traditional product role. As the Workday Talent Acquisition Product Owner, you will architect the strategic roadmap for our Talent Acquisition technology ecosystem. You will play a pivotal role in harmonizing business processes, Talent Acquisition workflows, and data architecture to drive informed decision-making and elevate the employee experience.

Serving as the executive-facing product leader for Talent Acquisition systems, you will sit within HR while operating at the intersection of strategy, technology, and operations. You will own the roadmap end-to-end, influence HR priorities, and help lead delivery within a scaled Agile environment.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on ownership, brings a strong point of view, and wants to leave a lasting impact on how a growing organization leverages Workday.

What You'll Do

Own the Strategy

• Collaborate with the stakeholder to evolve the multi-year vision, strategy, and roadmap for Talent Acquisition technology
• Partner with senior HR and business leaders to align product direction with HR priorities and growth goals
• Serve as the voice of the business, influencing decisions across HR, IT, Finance, and external partners
• Establish and track KPIs to measure product success, adoption, and business impact

Lead Product Execution

• Own and prioritize a complex product backlog, balancing strategic initiatives, regulatory needs, and operational improvements
• Lead engagement within the Agile Release Train (ART), including PI planning, sprint execution, and release alignment
• Translate high-level business needs into clear, actionable user stories and scalable solutions
• Ensure high-quality delivery through rigorous testing, validation, and continuous improvement

Drive Integration & Optimization

• Oversee the ecosystem of integrations across Workday, payroll, finance, and third-party benefits providers
• Continuously evaluate system performance, data integrity, and user experience to identify opportunities for optimization
• Champion automation, simplification, and innovation across HCM processes

Elevate the Employee Experience & Governance

• Collaborate with the IT team to design solutions that improve the end-to-end employee journey.
• Ensure system compliance with regulatory requirements while minimizing operational friction
• Proactively identify risks and implement scalable governance and controls

What You Bring

• Proven experience owning and driving product strategy in a complex, cross-functional environment
• Deep expertise in Talent Acquisition and supporting technologies
• Strong experience with Workday (highly preferred) or similar HCM platforms
• Demonstrated success operating within Agile frameworks at scale (SAFe or similar)
• Ability to influence senior stakeholders and translate business strategy into technology outcomes
• Analytical mindset with a track record of using data to drive decisions and outcomes

What We're Looking For:
