• Serve as the primary point of contact and escalation resource for your module area across all PortCos.
• Maintain comprehensive knowledge of how your module(s) interact with upstream and downstream systems and processes - and design solutions with those dependencies in mind.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with HR leaders, operations teams, and business stakeholders across multiple PortCos.
• Act as a trusted advisor - understanding each PortCo's unique workforce model, business context, and HR priorities.

• Prioritize the backlog in collaboration with stakeholders, the Functional Architect, and People Technology leadership.
• Ensure all enhancements are delivered with appropriate change management, training, and communications to end users and HR teams.
• Track and report on the delivery and benefit realization of roadmap initiatives.
• Hands-On Delivery
• Remain hands-on with Workday configuration in your module area - able to review, validate, and contribute to configuration work alongside the Associate Product Owner.
• Lead user acceptance testing (UAT) for enhancements and releases within your domain.
• Review and approve design documents, configuration specifications, and test plans before deployment.
• Support the Associate Product Owner(s) in day-to-day delivery, providing guidance, review, and quality oversight.

Additional Information

ABOUT REVANTAGE Revantage is a Blackstone portfolio company and a leading provider of corporate services across Blackstone's Real Estate portfolio. Headquartered in Chicago, Revantage supports a diverse and complex ecosystem of portfolio companies (PortCos) spanning residential, commercial, logistics, hospitality, and life-sciences real estate globally - across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Our People Technology team sits at the centre of this multi-entity, multi-jurisdictional operating model. We run a single Workday tenant that serves a federated landscape of PortCos, each with its own workforce, HR policies, compensation structures, payroll requirements, and compliance obligations. This complexity demands technology professionals who thrive in ambiguity, operate with an enterprise mindset, and can design solutions that scale across legal entities, geographies, and business models. POSITION OVERVIEW The Product Owner is an experienced, functionally deep Workday professional who owns one or more Workday modules end-to-end on behalf of Revantage and its PortCos. This is not a passive coordination role - it is an active, hands-on domain mastery role. You are the subject-matter expert, the decision-maker, the stakeholder champion, and the product strategist for your assigned module(s). You will work across a complex multi-PortCo environment, running user forums, managing the release roadmap, driving adoption, and continuously finding ways to extract more value from the platform. Revantage hires multiple Product Owners, each covering a cluster of related modules. Example ownership areas include: (1) Core HCM, Onboarding & Workday Help; (2) Compensation & Advanced Compensation; (3) Recruiting, Paradox & HiredScore; (4) Talent & Learning; (5) US Benefits & US Payroll; (6) People Analytics & Peakon. While specific module assignments may vary, the role profile, expectations, and seniority level are consistent across all Product Owner positions. This role has a defined growth path: as the team matures, the Product Owner will take on line management responsibility for an Associate Product Owner, growing into a player-manager who both delivers and develops.
