The HCM Data Conversion Lead will lead the HCM data conversion workstream for a higher education ERP modernization, supporting the migration from PeopleSoft HCM to Workday. This role serves as the primary client point of contact for HCM data conversion and is accountable for the workstream's strategy, scope, schedule, quality, risks, and deliverables. The Lead will direct the work of data conversion developers while remaining hands-on in data analysis, mapping, extraction, transformation, validation, and issue resolution.
What You Will Do
Workstream leadership
- Own the end-to-end HCM data conversion workstream, including planning, scope, sequencing, estimates, milestones, dependencies, quality standards, and delivery.
- Lead and coordinate the work of data conversion developers, providing technical direction, reviewing deliverables, resolving blockers, and ensuring consistent methods and documentation.
- Serve as the primary HCM data conversion point of contact for the client, system integrator, functional leads, project management, and other technical workstreams.
- Provide clear status updates and promptly identify, communicate, and escalate risks, issues, decisions, and cross-workstream dependencies.
Conversion strategy and requirements
- Lead discovery and requirements sessions with system owners, functional area leads, and business stakeholders to define conversion scope, historical data requirements, priorities, reconciliation criteria, and acceptance standards.
- Analyze PeopleSoft HCM data structures, schemas, tables, and business rules and translate them into a practical PeopleSoft-to-Workday conversion approach.
- Own the HCM conversion strategy, methodology, data mapping framework, iteration plan, cutover approach, and readiness criteria.
- Partner with Workday functional and technical teams to align source data with Workday business objects, load requirements, and downstream reporting or integration needs.
Hands-on conversion delivery
- Lead and contribute directly to data profiling, extraction, mapping, transformation, cleansing, and validation activities across in-scope HCM domains.
- Develop, review, and refine SQL, PeopleTools queries, extraction logic, transformation rules, reconciliation routines, and repeatable conversion scripts.
- Ensure converted data is accurate, complete, secure, traceable, and compliant with applicable institutional standards and data-handling requirements.
- Coordinate with the system integrator during Workday load cycles, respond quickly to questions, and direct updates to mappings, scripts, and source data as needed.
Testing validation and documentation
- Plan and oversee mock conversions, unit and system testing, reconciliation, defect triage, remediation, and final conversion validation.
- Define data-quality controls and reconciliation measures and obtain appropriate business and functional sign-off for converted data.
- Maintain complete documentation of scope, mappings, transformation rules, decisions, procedures, test results, defects, reconciliations, and cutover activities.
- Partner closely with HCM functional, integration, reporting, security, testing, and change teams to ensure conversion activities align with the overall implementation plan.
Required Qualifications
- 8+ years of ERP data conversion experience, including experience leading a data conversion workstream or major conversion effort.
- Deep hands-on expertise with PeopleSoft HCM data structures, tables, extraction methods, and conversion tools across multiple HCM modules.
- Required experience supporting PeopleSoft-to-Workday data conversions, with a clear understanding of Workday data conversion and load processes.
- Advanced proficiency in SQL and PeopleTools, including Application Designer; working knowledge of Integration Broker is strongly preferred.
- Strong knowledge of data profiling, mapping, modeling, cleansing, transformation, reconciliation, validation, and data-quality practices.
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical team members, manage workstream priorities and dependencies, and hold deliverables to defined quality standards.
