executive-ready progress dashboards
- Collaborate with HR & IT and business stakeholders to define scope, timelines, and
dependencies.
Data Discovery & Mapping
- Inventory source systems (SAP ECC HCM and non-SAP), objects, infotypes, tables, and
custom fields; determine target structures in SuccessFactors (e.g., Employee Central,
Recruiting, Onboarding) and S/4HANA (e.g., Finance-related HR data, HCM compatibility
or integrations as applicable).
- Lead the data mapping and transformation logic definition, including value mapping,
code translations, derived fields, joins, historical vs. current snapshots, and effective
dating.
- Produce mapping specifications and governed transformation rules (with version control)
for all in-scope data sets.
Data Extraction, Transformation & Loading (ETL)
- Use data conversion tools, such as Spenifex, Data Conversion Manager or other to setup
the data mapping, data comparison and load the data from the source to target
systems.

load.

(e.g., counts/balances, hash totals, key field completeness).
Mock Loads & Data Quality Uplift
- Plan and run multiple mock loads (e.g., ML1-ML3) across environments; track defects,
root causes, and trend improvements.
- Drive data cleansing at source (with HR data owners) and within transformation layers;
establish golden source decisions and survivorship rules for consolidated records.
- Produce data quality scorecards and measurable KPIs (completeness, validity, uniqueness,
consistency, timeliness).
- Manage cutover dry-runs, timing simulations, and performance tuning for load windows.
Testing & Controls
- Define and execute E2E testing for migration objects: unit tests, SIT, UAT support, and
parallel run/payroll impact checks where relevant.
-
Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and parallel runs to ensure data accuracy
-
Implement reconciliation and sign-off controls with business owners: pre-/post-load
controls, sampled record validation, and audit evidence.
- Ensure privacy-by-design and security-by-design throughout (masking in non-prod,
least-privilege access, retention rules).
Cutover & Hypercare
- Build and execute the Cutover Plan for go-live, including freeze windows, sequencing,
runbook, roles, checkpoints, back-out criteria, and communications.
- Orchestrate go-live weekend activities, triage, and rapid defect resolution with functional
and technical teams.
- Deliver hypercare reconciliation, issue remediation, and handover to operations/support

- Maintain comprehensive documentation of mappings, transformation logic, and data
lineage.
- Ensure compliance with GDPR and internal data governance policies
