About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Organizational Change Manager (OCM) and HRIS Project Implementation Lead for a 12-month contract assignment to support our enterprise transition to the global Dayforce HCM platform. As we refine and migrate our infrastructure and people / HR processes, this critical role will bridge the gap between technical system capabilities, data integrity, and business readiness for multiple internal audience segments. This role will provide vital support to various Workstream Leads, one for each core people / HR function, through Organizational Change Management (OCM), communications, business process mapping, and the creation of end-user training documentation for our People Services Business Partners and Payroll teams, as well as a hierarchy of manager and employee role-based user experiences. Additionally, this individual will provide critical project support for the Core HR module—driving the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) strategy, supporting data migration efforts and validation workstreams, ensuring strict audit compliance, and building training playbooks to secure operational readiness for a distributed, field-based workforce.

Requirements

Direct, hands-on experience participating in a large scale HRIS implementation.
Deep familiarity with functionality and set up of HRIS modules – Onboarding, Core HCM, Performance, Compensation, Succession.
Proven experience supporting large-scale data migrations, writing and executing data validation scripts, and establishing data auditing mechanisms during an HCM rollout.
Proven track record of planning and executing transformative change initiatives.
Experience planning, creating, and delivering multi-media training materials associated with that change to a multi-segment, dispersed audience.
Demonstrated experience structuring UAT scripts, managing testing data validation, identifying system bugs, and utilizing modern project tracking tools.
Experience working within the telecommunications, construction, utilities, or engineering trades is highly preferred. You must understand how to construct training and communications that resonate with non-desk/field-based employees.
Proven portfolio of creating clear, concise corporate communications, business process workflows (Visio/Lucidchart), and high-quality end-user training documentation.
Exceptional empathy, active listening, and stakeholder management skills.
Ability to rapidly turn complex technical system language and data concepts into simple, action-oriented employee instructions.

Responsibilities

Partner closely with IT and People Services workstreams to support the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of legacy personnel data into Dayforce, ensuring data mapping aligns perfectly with future-state system logic.
Execute comprehensive data validation protocols pre- and post-load. Conduct side-by-side system comparisons, spot-checks, and parallel testing to ensure 100% accuracy of employee profiles, organizational structures, and historical records.
Establish and execute necessary auditing processes throughout the implementation lifecycle. Document data discrepancies, track remediation efforts, and ensure all data handling adheres to internal compliance, SOX controls, and data governance standards.
Support the design and execution of the OCM framework specifically tailored to our People Services teams’ needs and our field organization to drive high adoption of Dayforce Core HR and employee/manager self-service modules.
Help develop and support the project communication roadmap and draft stakeholder updates, company-wide announcements, leadership briefs, and countdown-to-launch campaigns ensuring consistent alignment with strategic messaging across all media types and employee segments.
Conduct stakeholder readiness assessments to identify friction points during the migration, make recommendations, and implement agreed upon proactive mitigation plans.
Design, write, and produce comprehensive Training Playbooks, Quick Reference Guides (QRGs), video vignettes, and job aids tailored to different user personas (e.g., Field Crew Leads, Managers, HR Administrators).
Partner with People Services and operational teams to document "As-Is" versus "To-Be" HR workflows, ensuring all future-state Dayforce processes are cleanly standardized, compliant with audit requirements, and published.
Facilitate interactive training sessions, "train-the-trainer" workshops, and hyper-care office hours during the deployment and post-go-live stabilization windows with support from our Dayforce implementation partner.
