UKG Ready Project Manager

Project Manager – UKG Ready (Remote High-Impact Role)

Lead Transformational HR Tech Implementations

Are you a seasoned Project Manager with deep expertise in UKG Ready looking to lead complex, high-visibility implementations? This is your opportunity to step into a pivotal role where you’ll drive enterprise-level HR technology transformations while partnering directly with clients and executive stakeholders.

In this role, you won’t just manage projects—you’ll own delivery, influence outcomes, and elevate the client experience from kickoff through successful go-live.

What You’ll Own

• Lead end-to-end delivery of UKG Ready implementation projects, ensuring successful, on-time, on-budget execution
• Drive project planning, timelines, and resource coordination across multiple concurrent initiatives
• Manage and mentor a cross-functional team (HR, Payroll, Time, and Technical Consultants)
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, facilitating executive-level communication and governance
• Proactively identify risks, remove roadblocks, and keep projects moving forward with precision
• Deliver clear, concise weekly status updates, highlighting progress, risks, and next steps
• Ensure all deliverables meet quality standards and client expectations
• Guide clients through best practices, setting them up for long-term success post-implementation
• Continuously improve PMO processes, tools, and delivery methodologies

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• 3+ years of project management experience with UKG, including hands-on work with UKG Ready
• Proven success managing enterprise, multi-workstream implementations
• Experience leading full-suite UKG Ready deployments (highly preferred)
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without sacrificing quality
• Strong command of project management tools (SmartSheets a plus)
• Exceptional communication skills with confidence presenting to C-level stakeholders

Bonus Experience

• Change management and user acceptance testing (UAT)
• Driving alignment across cross-functional teams under tight deadlines
• Maintaining detailed project documentation, timelines, and system updates

Who You Are

• A natural leader with high emotional intelligence and resilience
• Proactive, accountable, and execution-driven
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and high-pressure environments
• A strong communicator who can influence and build trust at all levels
• Highly organized with the ability to manage competing priorities seamlessly
• A problem-solver who turns challenges into solutions

Work Environment & Travel

• 100% remote (U.S. or Canada-based)
• ~25% travel for client engagements

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than a delivery role—it’s a chance to lead impactful HR tech transformations, work alongside top-tier professionals, and play a key role in shaping client success across complex environments.
