• Oversee preparation and loading of data into Workday using tools such as EIBs, iLoads, or CSV templates.
• Coordinate multiple conversion cycles: prototype, system test, UAT, and final production cutover.
• Direct validation activities, including reconciliations and spot checks, to confirm accuracy of migrated data.
• Troubleshoot and resolve load errors or mismatches, identifying root causes and guiding corrections.
• Maintain documentation of data mapping and transformation rules to ensure auditability.
• Lead execution of the final data migration during cutover and verify successful transfer prior to go-live.

• High attention to detail and strong commitment to data quality, with experience establishing validation and reconciliation processes.
