They will own solution quality from global-template decisions through country localization, testing, cutover and hypercare, while staying personally hands-on in the system.

Key responsibilities:

Workstream ownership and design

• Own the EC workstream from discovery, fit-to-standard and localization workshops through design, build, testing, deployment, cutover, hypercare and transition to support.
• Turn the global HR operating model into a scalable EC global template, separating globally governed design from justified country-specific deviations.

Hands-on configuration

• Build business rules, workflows, event reasons, event derivation, alerts, notifications, and approval routing for hire-to-retire processes.
• Configure Position Management: org structures, incumbency and vacancy rules, position-to-job relationships, synchronization and position-based workflows.
• Configure People Profile, employee data sections, UI rules, field visibility, and localization.
• Configure Time Off where in scope: time types, work schedules, holiday calendars, accruals, eligibility and workflows.
• Design Role-Based Permissions (RBP), target populations, permission groups, delegated access, privacy controls and segregation of duties.

Data, integration and reporting:

• Lead data migration: templates, mapping, cleansing, transformation, load cycles, validation, reconciliation and sign-off.
• Verify end-to-end integration scenarios across HR, identity, payroll and downstream systems.
• Define operational, audit and reconciliation reporting using standard EC reporting tools.

Testing, go-live and release control:

• Prepare and lead SIT, support UAT, and manage traceability and defects.
• Own cutover planning and rehearsals, go-live, hypercare, stabilization, and knowledge transfer.
• Control configuration promotion and transport management across environments, including change logs, regression impact, and rollback.
• Produce solution designs, configuration workbooks, field mappings, integration specs, test evidence, cutover plans and support guides.

Must-have profile:

• 5+ years of hands-on SAP SuccessFactors experience, mainly in Employee Central.
• Valid SAP SuccessFactors certification (EC preferred).
• At least 2 full-cycle EC implementations where the candidate personally did the configuration.
• Strong hands-on skills in MDF, business rules, workflows, Position Management, and RBP.
• Experience with data migration and integrations to payroll or other downstream systems.
• Multi-country or global-template rollout experience strongly preferred.
• Comfortable working from the client office 3 to 5 days a week on a 6-month contract.

Not suitable: profiles that are mainly L1/L2 support, AMS ticket handling, or end-user/HR admin roles without hands-on configuration.
