\n
\n Location Remote with occasional need for London onsite\n
\n
\n Overview / Role Summary Focus Cloud is supporting our client with a critical phase of their Workday programme and we’re looking for an experienced Workday Cutover Lead to take ownership of cutover planning and execution end-to-end. This is a hands-on delivery role, partnering closely with Finance stakeholders, Workday functional leads, testing, data, and deployment teams to ensure a controlled, low-risk go-live.\n
\n
\n Benefits / Value Proposition\n
    \n
  • Contract role on a high-impact Workday delivery
  • \n
  • Clear ownership: you will lead the cutover workstream and drive decision-making
  • \n
  • On-site collaboration with key programme stakeholders
  • \n
  • Opportunity to work across Workday Financials and wider deployment activities
  • \n
Key Responsibilities\n
    \n
  • Lead the cutover strategy, cutover plan, and runbook (including dress rehearsals and go/no-go criteria)
  • \n
  • Build and manage the integrated cutover schedule across Workday streams (Finance, data, integrations, security, reporting, testing)
  • \n
  • Coordinate cutover dependencies, resource plans, and environment readiness
  • \n
  • Own cutover governance: RAID, checkpoints, approvals, and readiness reporting
  • \n
  • Drive execution during cutover window(s), including command centre / hypercare handover
  • \n
  • Ensure clear comms and stakeholder alignment across business and technical teams
  • \n
Required Experience & Skills\n
    \n
  • Must have proven experience as a Cutover Lead / Cutover Manager on at least one major enterprise transformation (ideally Workday)
  • \n
  • Required: strong cutover planning and orchestration capability (runbooks, rehearsals, checkpoints, go-live execution)
  • \n
  • Must have experience working with Workday Financials stakeholders and finance-facing workstreams
  • \n
  • Required: strong cross-functional coordination skills across testing, data, integrations, and business change
  • \n
  • Necessary: confident stakeholder management and clear, structured programme communication
  • \n
Dealbreakers (Non-Negotiable Requirements)\n
    \n
  • Must be able to work on-site in London once per week on average
  • \n
  • Must have current right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available)
  • \n
  • Must have demonstrable cutover leadership experience (not only supporting tasks)
  • \n
Desirable / Nice-to-Have Skills\n
    \n
  • Workday deployment experience beyond Financials (e.g., HCM/Prism/Adaptive exposure)
  • \n
  • Command centre / hypercare leadership experience
  • \n
  • Experience with complex integration landscapes and data migration cutovers
  • \n
Application Call to Action If you’re a Workday Cutover Lead who can drive a structured, controlled go-live for a Finance-heavy Workday programme, reply with your CV and a short summary of your Workday cutover deliveries (module scope, go-live date, and your specific responsibilities), and I’ll follow up.
