The Technical Delivery Lead works horizontally across HCM platforms and partners closely with the HCM Architect, Solution Managers, Vendor Operations Lead, Portfolio/Program Management, enterprise technology teams, and strategic delivery partners .
The role does not replace the delivery accountability of individual Solution Managers. Instead, it provides technical leadership where initiatives, dependencies, risks, or engineering challenges span technologies, solution domains, or organizational boundaries.

Translate approved architecture and solution direction into executable technical delivery approaches. In partnership with HCM Architects and Portfolio Lead, identify and resolve technical dependencies across Workday, ADP Workforce Management, Payroll, Total Rewards, identity and access management, ServiceNow, integrations, and downstream enterprise applications.
Establish clear technical workstreams, dependencies, sequencing, risks, and readiness criteria for major initiatives. Intervene where delivery requires coordination or decisions across multiple Solution Manager domains. Provide objective assessments of technical feasibility, complexity, risk, and delivery readiness. Standardize delivery KPIs across HCM portfolio.
Centralize reporting of PI, and small projects Engineering & Technical Delivery Excellence
Establish and drive consistent engineering and technical delivery practices across the HCM portfolio.

Facilitate technical go/no-go recommendations for high-risk or cross-platform deployments. Ensure operational support teams are appropriately prepared before introducing significant technology changes into production. Incident, Problem & Stability Leadership
Coordinate technical leadership for significant incidents that span platforms or where technical ownership is initially unclear. Coordinate cross-HCM technical teams during major incidents as needed. Ensure root-cause analyses identify underlying engineering, integration, or architecture issues rather than only the immediate symptom. Drive technical remediation when corrective actions span multiple platforms or Solution Manager domains. Technical Risk & Governance
Maintain visibility into significant technical risks across HCM. Escalate material technical risks with a clear assessment of impact, options, and recommended actions. Establish technical delivery health measures and provide transparent reporting on significant risks and dependencies. Support portfolio planning with assessments of technical complexity, sequencing, dependencies, and capacity requirements.
