The Mission:
We aren't just moving data; we are re-architecting the global talent landscape. Randstad is currently migrating HR data from 63 legacy systems into a single, unified Workday instance across 39 countries
We need a "Battle-Hardened" Implementer —someone who finds "structured" data boring and thrives in the complexity of global-scale transformations. This is your opportunity to "make this your house," laying the sustainable groundwork for how the world’s largest talent company manages its people data.
What You Will Achieve
Drive Global Migration: Lead the end-to-end extraction, transformation, and validation for 9 European countries in the immediate wave.
Lead a Specialized Team: Mentor and manage 5 direct reports, including an Automation Specialist and 4 Data Migration Specialists.
Automation Leadership: Use SQL logic and tools like KNIME, Alteryx, or Python to fix workflows when the team gets stuck, ensuring migration happens at speed and scale.
Stakeholder Diplomacy: Act as the bridge between global design and local data stewards, translating complex Workday logic into actionable local understanding.
"Combat Experience": At least two global end-to-end rollouts are more valuable to us than a Workday Certification.
Consultancy DNA: Background in "Implementation Factories" like Accenture, KPMG, Cognizant, or the Big Four where you’ve managed high-velocity, high-complexity projects.
Technical Fluency: Working knowledge of SQL and experience building automations (scripts, macros, or ETL workflows).
System Expertise: Essential experience in Workday , SAP, or SuccessFactors.
Important Note: This is an Implementation & Strategy role, not a maintenance role. We are looking for a leader who wants to "own something from start to finish".
