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.
