This is a hands-on, project-based contract where you will own both implementations end to end - from data migration and configuration through testing, training, go-live, and handover - partnering closely with our People team across multiple countries. Nex is a global team, and you will lead and coordinate the move of our people operations onto reliable, well-integrated systems. You'll bring structure, momentum, and care to a project that touches every employee, and you'll leave us with well-documented, fully adopted platforms and a team that's confident running them on their own. Standing up BambooHR for our two largest hubs - Hong Kong and the US - is the top priority, with the remaining countries to follow. Because BambooHR's native payroll only covers US employees, this role also owns connecting BambooHR to a third-party EOR/global payroll partner (e.g., Deel, Papaya, Remote) for Hong Kong and future countries. This is a US-based engagement (on-site or remote within US time zones) expected to run 6-9 months. What You'll Do * Own the project end to end - build and manage the implementation plan, timeline, workback schedule, and stakeholder communications, keeping the rollout on track and on time. * Lead data migration - map, cleanse, validate, and migrate people data from our current systems into BambooHR, ensuring accuracy and completeness across all entities and countries. * Configure and implement BambooHR to support Nex's global, multi-country operations - org structure, employment types, workflows, permissions, and reporting. * Bridge multi-country payroll - since BambooHR doesn't natively support payroll outside the US, integrate and manage the connection to our EOR/global payroll partner(s) for Hong Kong and future countries, ensuring accurate data flow and jurisdiction-specific compliance. * Source and implement the compensation management system - evaluate and select a compensation management platform, then configure and roll it out the same way as the HRIS - supporting pay bands, the annual review/merit cycle, and equity tracking, aligned to Nex's compensation framework. * Integrate with the broader tool stack - design, build, and validate integrations between BambooHR, the compensation system, the EOR/global payroll partner, and other tools (e.g., Carta, Lattice, HREasily), ensuring clean, reliable data flows across the stack. * Collaborate across functions - partner with stakeholders across Finance, People, Talent Acquisition, and other teams to align on requirements, data ownership, and integration needs, keeping everyone informed and bought in throughout the rollout. * Plan and run User Acceptance Testing (UAT) - define test scenarios, coordinate testers, track issues to resolution, and confirm the system is ready before go-live. * Deliver user training - create clear guides and documentation, and run training sessions so the People team and employees are confident using BambooHR. * Manage cutover, go-live, and rollout - coordinate the launch, provide hypercare support, and quickly resolve post-launch issues. * Hand over to the People team - leave behind complete documentation, admin enablement, and a clear support plan so BambooHR is fully owned internally after the engagement ends. ## Related Videos - [What if your HR software adapted to you, not the other way around?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100259-what-if-your-hr-software-adapted-to-you-not-the-other-way-around) - [Developer’s Perspective: Overview of the Tezos Blockchain Ecosystem](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/237-developer-s-perspective-overview-of-the-tezos-blockchain-ecosystem) - [Key HR Trends in 2024: Overcoming a Year of Emotional Disconnect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1271-key-hr-trends-in-2024-overcoming-a-year-of-emotional-disconnect) - [Get Your Stack Together: Building the Right Recruiting Tech](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1295-get-your-stack-together-building-the-right-recruiting-tech) - [Beyond the 9–5: Designing Work Around Humans](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1321-beyond-the-9-5-designing-work-around-humans) - [Exploring BOS: The Blockchain Operating System by NEAR Protocol](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/781-exploring-bos-the-blockchain-operating-system-by-near-protocol) ## Related Articles - [Top HR Tech Conferences in 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/303-top-hr-tech-conferences-in-2024) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [The Best Job Search Websites of 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/368-the-best-job-search-websites-of-2025) - [Best Paying Remote Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/255-best-paying-remote-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers)
