Job Summary

The Project Manager, Workday Student is responsible for managing and overseeing projects for the development and implementation of all aspects of Workday Student within the Faculty of Education. This will involve significant change management as this role will be working with very diverse academic and administrative/support units and research centres and institutes, each with unique identities, values, and sizes with long standing practices based on pedagogical objectives and education mission. Significant prep work will be required to bring the Faculty into alignment for the transition to Workday due to the complexity of the Faculty of Education degree paths: 11-month BEd program, approximately 27 diploma and certificates, NITEP, WKTEP, Rural and Remote Education, as well as MET and numerous graduate programs.

This role will manage the project lifecycle, including developing project plans, assembling and coordinating project teams, assigning and identifying appropriate resources, and identifying dependencies integrating with other work-stream plans. The Project Manager is responsible for clearly defining project timelines and ensuring milestones, deadlines and deliverables are met. This role works in collaboration with the leadership team in the Faculty of Education, acting as a ‘hub’ for information sharing and ensuring all parties have the information they need to make decisions for their respective deliverables. The Project Manager maintains a “birds-eye” view of the project, considering all downstream impacts of decisions, developing mitigation strategies, and ensuring all appropriate stakeholders are informed.

Organizational Status

The Project Manager reports directly to the Associate Dean, Academic, Graduate and Innovation with a dotted line report to the Primary Transition Leads. This role requires regular cross functional collaboration. The position works closely with the Faculty of Education Dean’s office, including multiple Associate Deans and Assistant Deans as well as the Education Curriculum Committees, four academic departments in the Faculty and administrative/support units to ensure successful delivery of the project. The position will also act as a liaison with central UBC offices and committees responsible for Workday Student.

Work Performed

Designs and manages multiple concurrent projects of considerable size, diversity, complexity, and risk, all of which are vital to the successful implementation of Workday Student within the Faculty of Education. Works closely with Academic Department Heads and Directors as well as other faculty and staff in each of the academic and administrative and support units.

Manages and leads project activities, follows up on action items and deliverables to ensure completion, and keeps the project on track and focused on achieving the intended outcome.

Identifies and manages challenges, develops and implements strategies to mitigate issues, and develops contingency plans to ensure the timely completion of project deliverables. Takes a central role in articulating impacts, exploring the "what-if" scenarios for various project components, and following through with an action plan.

Provides advice on business process and functional assessment, design and development.

Collaborates with IRP streams, diverse academic disciplines and administrative units to ensure the seamless integration of FoE’s unique needs and requirements into the overall IRP Project plans.
