- Facilitate client workshops and working sessions, and produce clear design documents, configuration workbooks, and meeting notes.
- Provide post-go-live support and knowledge transfer so client teams can confidently own and maintain their solution.
- Manage multiple client engagements concurrently, tracking your time accurately, forecasting hours, and monitoring your own KPIs.
- Escalate risks and issues to project managers or practice leads in a timely and professional manner.
- Contribute to the Align Dayforce practice by documenting best practices, sharing solutions, mentoring teammates, and staying current on each Dayforce release.
