  • Configure the Activities solution to automate and reconcile paid time to labor, including activity profiles, task and operation definitions, labor transfer rules, productivity benchmarks, and activity-based costing calculations.
  • Facilitate discovery workshops and working sessions to elicit client requirements for activity tracking, labor allocation, job costing, and productivity measurement, translating business needs into actionable system design decisions.
  • Design and document integration data flows between UKG Pro WFM Activities and third-party systems, including ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics), MES systems, payroll engines, and time collection devices, collaborating with integration teams to ensure accurate and timely data exchange.
  • Configure time collection and device settings to support Activities data capture, including clocks, mobile, and desktop entry points, ensuring accurate tracking of employee activity assignments across shifts and work orders.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive project documentation, including functional design specifications, data mapping documents, configuration workbooks, test scripts, and end-user training materials.
  • Lead system configuration, unit testing, system integration testing (SIT), and support client user acceptance testing (UAT), proactively identifying and resolving defects and configuration gaps.
  • Manage testing and acceptance of delivered solutions, partnering with technical teams to validate that outputs meet client requirements.
  • Deliver best-practice guidance on Activities module configuration and workflow design, advising clients on productivity standards, labor reconciliation approaches, exception management, and manager dashboard design.
  • Build trusted, collaborative relationships with client project teams, business stakeholders, and operations leaders.
  • Collaborate with Align HCM internal teams, including Timekeeping, Scheduling, and Integration consultants, to ensure holistic WFM solution design and cohesive go-live readiness across all in-scope modules.

  • Proven ability to configure Activities profiles, task and operation definitions, productivity standards, labor allocation rules, and activity-based costing calculations within UKG Pro WFM.
  • Experience implementing Activities in environments with complex operational requirements, such as manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, or healthcare, where job costing and real-time labor-to-work-order reconciliation are in scope.
  • Solid understanding of the broader UKG Pro WFM platform, including Timekeeping, pay rules, time collection devices, and how Activities interacts with adjacent modules and downstream payroll systems.
  • Experience with data mapping from source systems to UKG Pro WFM, including familiarity with integration touchpoints between Activities and ERP, MES, or payroll platforms.
  • Demonstrated ability to facilitate requirements-gathering workshops, document functional designs, and translate client business processes into system configuration decisions.
  • Strong English language communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present technical configurations and design options clearly to client operations and IT stakeholders.
