About this role
Responsibilities Strategy & Planning • Define and own the end-to-end Data Migration Strategy, including scope, approach, tooling, timeline and resource plan aligned to the overall programme schedule. • Conduct legacy system assessment and data landscape analysis to identify volumes, complexity, data quality gaps and migration risk. • Establish the Data Migration Governance Framework, including RACI, escalation paths, data sign-off protocols and cutover decision gates. • Develop and maintain the Migration Project Plan (MPP), tracking progress against key milestones including mock migrations and dress rehearsals. • Define data retention, archiving and disposal policies for historical records not migrated into Oracle HCM Cloud. Design & Architecture • Lead data mapping workshops with HR, Payroll and IT SMEs to produce comprehensive source-to-target mapping documents covering all HCM data objects (Core HR, Absence, Talent, Payroll Balances, Position, Assignment History, etc.). • Design Oracle HCM Cloud HDL (HCM Data Loader) and HSDL (HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader) templates for all in-scope data objects, accommodating legacy data structures and transformation rules. • Architect the historical data migration approach for payroll balance migration, ensuring year-to-date, period-to-date and statutory balances are accurately converted. • Define data cleansing and enrichment rules, working with the client's HR Operations team to remediate systemic data quality issues prior to migration. • Establish a robust data reconciliation and audit framework to validate migrated data against source systems. Execution & Delivery • Lead and manage a team of Data Migration Analysts and ETL developers through iterative extraction, transformation, loading and validation cycles. • Oversee development of extraction scripts, transformation logic and HDL load programs, ensuring alignment with Oracle best practices and client IT standards. • Plan and execute multiple mock migration cycles (typically 3–5), conducting lessons-learned reviews and continuous improvement of migration artefacts between cycles. • Manage data migration cutover activities including freeze dates, delta extraction, final load sequencing, rollback procedures and go-live validation. • Coordinate with Oracle Support and Accenture Oracle CoE to resolve data load errors, HDL exceptions and system-specific configuration issues. • Produce and maintain a comprehensive Data Migration Artefact Library: strategy, mapping specs, transformation rules, DQ reports, sign-off logs and reconciliation evidence. Stakeholder & Programme Management • Serve as the primary point of contact for all data migration matters with client senior stakeholders, including HR Directors, CIO, and Data Protection Officers. • Provide regular migration status reporting to the Programme Board, including RAG status, volume metrics, DQ KPIs and key risk/issue updates. • Facilitate data sign-off workshops with business owners to obtain formal approval of migrated data prior to go-live. • Collaborate with Oracle Functional Leads (Core HR, Payroll, Absence, Talent) to ensure migration sequencing respects functional dependencies. • Manage third -party supplier relationships where legacy data extraction is performed by incumbent system vendors. Quality, Risk & Compliance • Maintain and actively manage the Data Migration Risk Register, ensuring all risks have mitigation plans and owners. • Ensure all data handling practices comply with GDPR, public sector data governance frameworks, and client-specific information security policies. • Apply data quality scoring methodologies to baseline and track improvement in data completeness, accuracy, consistency and uniqueness across all migration objects. • Coordinate with the client's internal audit and data assurance teams to provide evidence of data integrity throughout the migration lifecycle. • Support post-go-live hypercare activities including data correction, balance adjustments and retrospective historical record validation. Requirements Education • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Information Technology, Human Resources, or a related discipline. Equivalent experience considered. • Master's degree or postgraduate qualification in Data Management, Business Analysis or Project Management is advantageous. Overall Experience • 12–15 years of total experience spanning HR IT consulting, data migration delivery and Oracle HCM Cloud implementations, with a progressive track record from analyst to workstream lead. Oracle HCM Cloud Implementations (Mandatory: 3+) • Must have led or co-led the data migration workstream on at least three end-to-end Oracle HCM Cloud programmes, from Inception / Discovery through to Hypercare. • At least one implementation must have included full payroll migration (Oracle Cloud Payroll or parallel payroll with balance upload). • Demonstrable experience producing signed-off migration artefacts: strategy, source-to-target maps, transformation rules, DQ scorecards and cutover runbooks. • Minimum of one Oracle HCM Cloud implementation within a public sector or government context (central government, local authority, NHS/healthcare, education, defence or utilities).
