Job description

We are seeking a skilled HRIS Data Migration Specialist to lead the end-to-end migration of HR

data from SAP R/3 HCM (PA/OM/Time/PY) to SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and

S/4HANA Time. This role is critical to ensuring data integrity, compliance, and operational, Migration Planning & Strategy

  • Define and document the data migration strategy & plan aligned with the SF EC and

S/4HANA HCM rollout.

  • Establish data selection principles (what moves vs. what is archived/destroyed), aligned

with legal, regulatory, works council, information security, and GDPR requirements.

  • Develop the data object inventory and field-level mapping specifications

  • Define archiving and defensible data destruction approaches for out-of-scope or

redundant data, with audit trails and approvals.

  • Set up governance: RACI, decision rights, issue/risk management, status reporting, and

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.

  • Build repeatable, parameterized ETL/ELT pipelines for extract, cleanse, transform, and

load.

  • Extract legacy data from SAP R/3 HCM modules (PA, OM, Time, Payroll).

  • Cleanse, transform, and map data to SuccessFactors EC and S/4HANA HCM structures.

  • Use SAP Business Integration Builder (BIB), SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI) and data

migration tools for replication and transformation.

  • Implement data quality rules, exception handling, logging, and reconciliation checks

(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

with documentation and knowledge transfer

Documentation & Governance

  • Maintain comprehensive documentation of mappings, transformation logic, and data

lineage.

  • Ensure compliance with GDPR and internal data governance policies
