Academic Wage Salary: Learning Project Team Lead (AMP)

Oregon State University

Department: Univ Human Resources Central (XHR)

Appointment Type: Academic Wage

Job Location: Corvallis

Recommended Full-Time Salary Range: $90,000 - $130,000

Job Summary:

University Human Resources is seeking a salaried Academic Wage: Learning Project Team Lead (AMP ). This is a full-time (1.00 FTE ), 12-month, fixed-term position. This position is anticipated to last until 12/31/2026.

As a key contributor of the Oregon State University (OSU ) digital and business transformation effort, the Team Lead role will assist in a key phase of OSU’s Administrative Modernization Program (AMP ). Following initial design and the development of configuration workbooks, the work of AMP moves towards testing and technical readiness for implementation.

The Learning Project Team Lead role is a pivotal in managing and optimizing Oregon State University’s learning and development programs. This role involves overseeing the implementation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the Workday LMS module. The LMS Lead will collaborate with various departments to create digital courses, and design and deliver learning campaigns.

This role will be responsible for understanding the Workday design, testing, and validation. With support from consultants, these individuals will execute OSU test scenarios in each tenant build and be responsible for understanding the functional configuration in Workday. This role may also verify help text, validation rules, and notifications are configured. They are also responsible for updating documentation related to configuration changes (including Future State Process Designs, process flows, configuration workbooks) throughout the implementation. This position works in alignment with the overall AMP program and closely collaborates and partners with the AMP HR Program Lead to engage stakeholders and experts across the university to assist with communication and change management activities.

AMP will transform OSU into a fully digital university, rebuilding its entire administrative technology environment to facilitate efficient and modern transactions among staff, students, and faculty. This effort will modernize the university’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP ) system (replacing Banner and additional applications), re-engineer core administrative HR, finance, planning and budgeting, post-award grant management, and student tools and processes, and deploy automated workflows in the cloud. This process will also include documenting and updating any new or existing policies associated with these processes. This light and lean cloud-based approach enables better institutional agility and adaptability, exceptionally user-friendly design for students, faculty, staff, and administration who interact with OSU . It also provides OSU the opportunity to lower the cost and time burden of administrative processes.

OSU’s approach will reimagine and redesign all HR, finance, research administration, and budget/planning processes with a human centric design framework based on full automation, alignment with industry best practices, and desired customer journeys. This approach will require significant organizational change management, community member engagement across and outside of the organization, and a strong commitment to equity, inclusivity, and accessibility to design solutions for a broad and diverse collection of customers and community members. We will not undertake this ambitious work alone – OSU will collaborate with industry partners specializing in higher education to deliver on our pioneering vision. We will document every step of our process to support and guide other Oregon institutions who may pursue similar transformative efforts.
