General Data Migration Lead – Workday (Leapfrog Program)

Context: Not a greenfield build, this is a legacy tenant. There is an implementation partner executing the technical migration/conversion; this person owns the business-side accuracy of what gets migrated and how.

Core Expectations:

- Own end-to-end data migration strategy and roadmap for a brownfield Workday tenant (not new implementation), including legacy data cleansing, deduplication, and historical data decisions (what to migrate vs. archive vs. discard)
- Act as the business owner/challenger of implementation partner's migration and conversion approach
- Translate new data model and job architecture design into legacy-to-target data mapping requirements, working closely with the design/configuration workstreams
- Define and enforce data governance standards for the new master data model (ownership, stewardship, ongoing maintenance post go-live)
- Assess and manage downstream impacts on current HR architecture (integrations, payroll, benefits, TA/TM systems)



driven by data model changes
- Own migration testing strategy: mock loads, reconciliation, validation cycles, and sign-off criteria — reviewing execution, not performing EIB loads personally
- Be conversant enough in Workday data structures (HCM Core, Comp, Absence, Recruiting) and EIB/load tools to interrogate technical output and catch errors
- Manage cutover planning for data migration (sequencing, freeze periods, fallback plans)
- Ensure compliance with GDPR and local data privacy regulations across all migrated data
- Escalate migration risks/blockers to programme leadership and drive resolution with Accenture

Profile fit: Ex-Workday data/migration lead who has led or heavily overseen a legacy-to-Workday migration (ideally with an SI partner doing execution), strong on data model/governance thinking, comfortable challenging a delivery partner technically.
