Who you are

8+ years of relevant experience in Workforce Planning, with a proven track record of leading large-scale enterprise implementations
Deep functional expertise in Workday Adaptive Planning; experience transitioning organizations from other systems (Oracle/Hyperion) is highly preferred
Exceptional ability to facilitate workshops among conflicting stakeholders and drive consensus across global Finance and HR teams

What the job involves

Following our recent initiatives to modernize workforce planning, Take-Two Interactive is seeking a Product Lead, Workforce Planning to oversee our implementation of Workday Adaptive Planning
This is a high-impact leadership role focused on building alignment between Finance and HR data by unifying them under a single, intuitive planning ecosystem
You will serve as the functional architect of a system that replaces "clunky" legacy workarounds with a user-centric experience
Your mission is to satisfy Finance’s need for precision while providing HR and Business teams with the "clutter-free" environment required to drive our strategy
This role isn't just about configuring software; it’s about creating a "Single Version of the Truth" that empowers our global labels (2K, Rockstar, Zynga) to make data-driven talent decisions
Act as the primary mediator between Finance (FP&A) and HR (Total Rewards/BPs) to define a unified data dictionary and process flow
Design the Workday Adaptive interface to be intuitive for casual HR users while remaining robust for advanced business users
Lead the strategic transition to enhance existing adaptive models while identifying future use cases to expand the product to support HR’s capabilities
Build native, real-time "What-If" modeling capabilities that allow leadership to see the immediate cost and talent impact of organizational decisions
Partner with the HR Enablement Lead to ensure Finance and HR operate within their core competencies preventing technical or data entry overlaps
Lead ongoing feedback sessions post-go-live to identify friction points and iterate on the tool monthly based on service design principles

Our take

Parent company to some of the most successful video game companies and titles is Take-Two Interactive, one of the leading developers, publishers, and marketers of consumer interactive entertainment around the globe.

Developing and publishing principally through Rockstar Games, 2K, Private Division, and Zynga, Take-Two has powered industry-leading titles such as Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption 1&2, the catalog of NBA 2K games, BioShock, and FarmVille.

The company is looking to enter the world of crypto and blockchain, beginning with Zynga's Web3 game Sugartown in 2023. When competitor Ubisoft became the first developer to launch NFTs, the move faced backlash as many users saw it as a cash grab, which has certainly influenced Take-Two’s delay in entering the market. Time will tell how this foray into blockchain pans out for Take-Two.

With its well-established catalog of games (with some highly anticipated title releases, including GTA 6) Take-Two Interactive is a titan in the industry and is well set to see continued success, not only as its subsidiaries expand but through the capitalization of future tech opportunities in the highly innovative gaming industry.
