Workday Data Migration Lead

Location: GTA (Hybrid – TBD) Duration: 1 year contract

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Workday Data Migration Lead to lead the end-to-end data migration for a large-scale Workday implementation and HR transformation.

The successful candidate will own the complete data lifecycle - from legacy data extraction, cleansing and transformation through Workday loading, validation, reconciliation, conversion cycles and final cutover.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end Workday data migration strategy and execution.
  • Extract, cleanse, map, transform and migrate legacy HR/Payroll data into Workday.
  • Lead mock conversions, validation, reconciliation and production cutover.
  • Coordinate migration across multiple Workday modules and legacy systems.
  • Lead migration resources and work closely with HR, Payroll, IT and the Workday implementation partner.
  • Manage data quality, migration risks, defects, dependencies and remediation.
  • Required Experience
  • Proven experience leading multiple Workday data migrations end-to-end.
  • Large-scale Workday implementation and HR/Payroll data conversion experience.
  • Experience migrating from multiple complex legacy HR/Payroll systems into Workday.
  • Strong knowledge of Workday business objects, data dependencies, load sequencing, reconciliation and cutover.
  • Ability to demonstrate the scale of previous migrations, including employee population, source systems and migration team size.
  • Experience with Workday Studio, Python, PowerShell or comparable scripting is an asset.

Top Priority: We are looking for someone who has personally led the full Workday data migration lifecycle, not simply participated in a Workday implementation.
