Summary

Our client is seeking an Instructional Designer – Workday Transformation Enablement to support Project Elevate, a large-scale enterprise HR technology transformation centered around a Workday implementation. This role will sit within the Global Learning function and play a critical role in designing and delivering learning solutions that drive enterprise readiness, user adoption, and sustained behavioral change across the organization.

This is not a traditional course development role. The ideal consultant brings deep experience supporting Workday implementations through learning strategy and execution, with the ability to rapidly translate evolving system requirements into scalable, learner-centric enablement solutions.
