About the team
People Technology builds and runs the systems behind every hire, transfer, leave, pay change and offboard for our workforce across DoorDash, Deliveroo and Wolt. This role sits on the People Product team, working alongside Business Systems Analysts, engineers and delivery leadership.
About the role
Core is the Workday and HR platform surface that nearly every People Operations process runs through. You'll be the first dedicated product manager for this space, responsible for turning inbound chaos into a defensible, well-communicated plan. This is a hands-on individual contributor role.
Responsibilities

- Turn vague or incomplete partner requests into documented problems, mapped current-state processes, and testable outcomes.
- Partner directly with People Operations, Compliance, Payroll, Total Rewards and Business Systems Analysts.
- Work hands-on with analysts and engineers to shape, size, and write tickets.
- Build and evolve the operating model across the analyst and engineering pod.
- Use AI tools to accelerate translation of messy inbound requests into structured requirements.
- Escalate proactively on statutory or audit exposure.
- Report progress and delivery against plan to partners and leadership.
Requirements
- Experience owning a product or systems area end-to-end, with real decision rights over scope and sequencing.
- Hands-on background with Workday or a comparable HRIS as a product manager or technical program manager.
- Demonstrated ability to prioritise when demand structurally exceeds capacity.
- Proven delivery in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
- Experience translating a partner's requested solution into a well-defined problem.
- Strong collaboration skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Practical fluency with AI tools for requirements drafting and documentation.
Conditions
