• Manage all the practical implementation tasks including driving requirement definition, solution design, config, testing and implementation with project timelines.
• Use AI tools to streamline daily support tasks in Workday and People systems—experimenting to identify where AI brings the most value, improving the quality and accuracy of ticket triage, data checks, and routine troubleshooting, and documenting effective prompts and process enhancements for team use.
• Apply AI thoughtfully to reporting, documentation, and workflow optimizations—validating outputs for accuracy and usefulness before broader adoption, and sharing new approaches or templates to enable successful practices to be scaled across the team.
• Keep good project hygiene practices across your portfolio of work - your project plans, solution design, requirements,comms and artifacts should be accurate and organized.
• You may also work with other internal stakeholders and IT teams to deliver enhancements, support annual processes, and implement new technology in support of Pinterest.
• As our team grows, you’ll also partner closely with supporting analysts, to whom you will provide direction and lead through project delivery.
