[Hiring] Senior Manager, Workforce Planning Platform @RTX

Role Description

We are hiring two senior individual contributors who will each serve as the functional Workforce Planning platform owner for a distinct business unit. One role will support an established Workday Adaptive workforce planning environment, while the other will lead the business side of a new implementation and ultimately become the functional owner of that platform.

• Establish and maintain a platform and planning capability roadmap, balancing planning cycle reliability, new capabilities, user experience, and enterprise standards.
• Drive functional testing engagement, business acceptance, and the resolution of recurring data, process, and performance issues.
• Expand adoption of the platform by additional functions and planner groups through rollout planning, training, and ongoing support.
• Connect near-term planning outputs with longer-range workforce decisions to enhance organizational strategy.
• Share reusable practices and improvements across business units while addressing justified differences in their planning needs.
• For the new implementation assignment: Partner with the overall Workforce Planning Program Manager, business WFP lead and our implementation partner on business discovery, functional requirements development and fit-to-standard decisions, testing, and planner readiness.
