About the role
US citizenship with no dual citizenship and eligibility to obtain a government clearance are required. Lead end-to-end data migration for an SAP Employee Central Payroll modernization program, covering data quality, mapping, ETL, mock conversions, reconciliation, and cutover. You will manage a migration team and need 7+ years of SAP experience, 2+ years in SAP data conversion, and hands-on experience with tools such as LSMW, Migration Cockpit, or BODS.
Responsible for leading end-to-end data migration efforts for a complex SAP Employee Central Payroll modernization program, driving data quality, migration strategy, and cutover execution across multiple workstreams.
Key Responsibilities:
Partnering with the client to lead Data Quality, Data Profiling, and Data Cleansing analysis across legacy source systems, identifying gaps, anomalies, and remediation requirements prior to conversion
Designing an appropriate data migration solution and end-to-end data migration strategy, including source-to-target mapping, extraction/transformation/load (ETL) approach, and tooling (e.g., LSMW, LTMC/LTMOM, BODS, migration cockpit, or custom scripts) appropriate for SAP EC Payroll
Defining and documenting data conversion rules, mapping logic, and business rules for employee master data, payroll infotypes, time/absence data, and organizational structures moving into SAP EC Payroll
Writing detailed technical specification documents for extraction, transformation, validation, and load processes, ensuring traceability from legacy fields to target EC Payroll fields
Leading mock conversion cycles and reconciliation activities, including defining data validation/exception reports and error-resolution processes with functional and client teams
Developing and executing a cutover plan for conversion execution, including sequencing, downtime windows, fallback/rollback procedures, and go-live readiness criteria
Coordinating with SAP Functional Consultants (HCM/Payroll, Time, Benefits), technical developers, and client data owners to ensure alignment between functional design and data conversion approach
Managing a data migration team, including task assignment, quality review of deliverables, and mentoring junior data conversion analysts
Reporting migration status, risks, and issues to program leadership and client stakeholders, and maintaining data migration governance documentation (data dictionaries, mapping trackers, defect logs)
Here's What You Need:
7+ years of SAP experience
2+ years of SAP data conversion experience across SAP ECC, IBP, and/or SRM environments (note: recommend confirming whether this should reference SAP HCM/Payroll and EC systems specifically, given this role's focus on EC Payroll modernization — happy to help tighten this if the intent is legacy HCM/ECC-to-EC conversion rather than IBP/SRM)
Hands-on experience with data migration tools and methodologies (e.g., LSMW, SAP Migration Cockpit/LTMC, BODS, or equivalent ETL tools)
Experience performing data profiling, cleansing, and reconciliation activities in an SAP conversion project
Strong Excel/data analysis skills for large-scale data mapping and validation
Bonus Points If:
Experience specifically with SAP Employee Central (EC) and/or Employee Central Payroll data conversion
Familiarity with legacy SAP HCM/Payroll infotypes and their mapping to Employee Central object model
Experience leading mock conversion/cutover cycles on a federal or large enterprise SAP program
Knowledge of SAP data migration accelerators or Accenture proprietary conversion tools/methodologies
PMP or equivalent project leadership experience for teams of 3+ analysts
Eligibility Requirements:
Must be eligible to obtain a government clearance
US citizenship required (no dual citizenship)
