  • Drive accountability across the team for deliverables and outcomes
  • Coach and develop team members while fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture

Higher Ed Expertise

  • Bring best practices and insights specific to colleges, universities, and system offices

Change & Adoption
  • Ensure alignment between technology, process, and people
  • Support change management efforts including stakeholder engagement, communications, and adoption strategies
  • Identify risks to adoption and develop mitigation strategies

Your Qualifications
Experience
  • 5-8+ years of experience in consulting, program management, or enterprise system delivery
  • Proven experience leading client-facing engagements
  • Significant experience working with Higher Education institutions

Domain Expertise
  • Strong understanding of Higher Ed operations, including student lifecycle, academic structures, and administrative functions
  • Experience with enterprise platforms such as Workday, Student Information Systems (SIS), or ERPs

Leadership Skills
  • Ability to lead and influence across diverse stakeholder groups
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complex topics into clear, actionable insights
  • Experience managing multiple workstreams and competing priorities

What Sets You Apart
  • Experience with Workday implementations (Student, HCM, or Financials)
  • Background in large-scale Higher Ed transformation programs
  • Ability to operate effectively in complex, matrixed environments
  • Passion for improving outcomes for students, faculty, and administration

Why The Groove
