Digital adoption platform lead

Sargent & Lundy is establishing a Digital Adoption Platform capability within the Training & Development group. In this position, you’ll act as a singular internal digital adoption consultant and hands-on solution developer. Your initial focus will be supporting WalkMe implementation for S&L’s new ERP in coordination with external implementation partner. Alongside this project and as the “go-live” dust settles, you’ll help build the foundation for scaling DAP solutions to other software platforms by creating end-to-end governance for how S&L scopes, designs, builds, tests, approves, deploys, maintains, and evaluates WalkMe solutions.

This is a full-time temporary position, scheduled for 40 hours per week, with an estimated duration of 12 months.

Typical Activities Include:

• WalkMe Project Coordination for Workday Implementation (with support from external implementation partner)
• Serving as the primary Training & Development point of contact for the WalkMe Workday implementation project.
• Coordinating with S&L’s external WalkMe implementation partner and internal subject-matter experts to clarify requirements, review proposed solutions, co-build solutions, resolve issues, and maintain alignment with S&L’s business and technical needs.
• Managing project scope, schedules, risks, decisions, action items, dependencies, communications, status reporting.
• Translating between business, process, technical, and learning perspectives so that WalkMe solutions are usable, maintainable, and aligned with S&L’s intended Workday experience.
• Process, Governance, and Center of Excellence Development (with support from external implementation partner)
• Defining and documenting a scalable end-to-end DAP lifecycle, including intake, prioritization, scoping, needs analysis, solution design, build, review, testing, approval, deployment, measurement, maintenance, retirement, and archival.
• Establishing practical standards, templates, checklists, naming conventions, review criteria, approval gates, documentation expectations, and quality controls that align with existing Training and IT requirements.
• Establishing a responsibility matrix and clear handoffs among subject-matter experts, process owners, IT, Training & Development, system administrators, and business stakeholders.
• Supporting knowledge transfer to S&L staff so WalkMe solutions can be maintained and expanded after the temporary assignment ends.
• End-to-End Solution Analysis, Design, Development, and Continuous Improvement (for Workday and other platforms)
• Leading intake and scoping activities to understand the business problem, target audience, user journey, workflow, system context, performance expectations, error traps, pain points, and desired business outcome.
• Designing solution proposals that define the intended user experience, audience segmentation, WalkMe capabilities, content types, workflow coverage, success measures, dependencies, risks, and maintenance requirements.
• Creating journey maps, solution maps, storyboards, prototypes, content inventories, requirements documents, and other artifacts to communicate the solution vision and support stakeholder decisions.
• Building, configuring, and troubleshooting WalkMe solutions that include a range of WalkMe features (smart walkthroughs, launchers, smart tips, surveys, contextual guidance, validation, etc.).
• Configuring segmentation and personalization so that users receive relevant guidance based on role, audience, workflow, system state, or other appropriate criteria.
• Documenting build decisions, configuration details, test results, known limitations, release notes, and maintenance requirements.
• Establishing a recurring optimization and content-maintenance cadence that accounts for Workday releases, business-process changes, system changes, and evolving user needs.
• Using WalkMe Insights and other available data sources to monitor engagement, task completion, workflow friction, drop-off points, error patterns, search behavior, and other indicators of user experience and adoption.

While this is a remote position, occasional travel to the Chicago office may be required.
