Shift:First Shift As a UW employee, you have a unique opportunity to change lives on our campuses, in our state and around the world. UW employees offer their boundless energy, creative problem solving skills and dedication to build stronger minds and a healthier world.

UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty.

The ISC has an outstanding opportunity for an ISC Intake Manager. Reporting to the ISC Director for the Project Management Office, the Intake Manager position will provide strategic oversight, design, and direction for Workday-related intake of customer requests to modify or configure the Workday application or related elements (such as security or reports). The Intake Manager will work across the ISC’s functional and technical teams, ISC customers, and Workday administrators to assess the business need for new requests and determine their technical feasibility. Extensive partnership with leaders internal and external to the ISC is also required, to ensure requests are aligned with agreed-upon business objectives and will contribute to future decisions and modifications to support operational practices within Workday.

This position will work to ensure that Workday change requests meet the customers and business needs. Duties include the development of intake procedures, collaboration with customer requestors to consider the impacts of building new functionality in Workday, identifying and gathering business requirements for the new functionality, and working with internal ISC teams to determine feasibility and project resources required to develop the functionality.

In consultation with internal ISC teams, the Intake Manager must evaluate the merits of requests through the lenses of platform strategy, compliance, downstream impacts of developing the functionality, risks of not doing so, sustainability of the request and/or approach, and advise ISC leadership when needed on recommended outcomes. Pending the outcome of those internal conversations, the Intake Manager will then outline the options for the solution (along with resource estimates for each solution discussed), identify the ISC-recommended solution, and communicate those options with the customer. In cases where a request is determined to not be feasible, the Intake Manager will communicate with the customer requestor to explain why the requested functionality cannot be delivered.

This role will also support the work on Finance Transformation, the University’s large-scale project to modernize its finance operations, business systems, and processes.
