Position Overview

We are seeking two Senior HRIS Functional Consultants to spearhead the technical architecture, data migration, and systems enablement for a global enterprise-scale Microsoft Viva Glint implementation.

This role requires a consultant with a deep understanding of HR data structures and the functional nuances of Employee Experience (EX) platforms. You will be responsible for translating complex business requirements into a robust system design, ensuring seamless data flows from the core HRIS (Workday, SuccessFactors, etc.) into the Microsoft Viva ecosystem.

Primary Responsibilities

• 🎯 System Architecture & Configuration: Lead the functional design and end-to-end configuration of Viva Glint. This includes defining organizational hierarchies, complex attribute mapping, and survey distribution logic tailored to a global workforce.
• 🎯 Data Migration Strategy: Architect and execute the migration of historical engagement data. You will own the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) lifecycle-mapping legacy schemas to the Glint data model to ensure longitudinal reporting continuity.
• 🎯 System Integration & Automation: Partner with IT/Tenant Admins to establish and validate the "People Feed." You will ensure the integrity of automated data synchronization via SFTP or API protocols.
• 🎯 Requirements Engineering: Act as the primary liaison between HR stakeholders and Technical teams. You will facilitate discovery sessions to define functional specifications that align with organizational objectives.
• 🎯 Testing & Quality Assurance (UAT): Design and govern the UAT phase. This involves developing testing scripts, validating data integrity post-ingestion, and ensuring that security/permission roles meet strict compliance standards.
• 🎯 Knowledge Transfer: Produce comprehensive functional documentation, system playbooks, and operational guides to facilitate a seamless transition to the BAU (Business As Usual) team.

Professional Requirements

• Implementation Experience: A proven track record of delivering end-to-end functional implementations of enterprise EX platforms (e.g., Viva Glint, Qualtrics, Peakon).
• Advanced Data Governance: Extensive experience in data mapping, cleansing, and manipulation within complex relational databases and large-scale datasets.
• Technical Acumen: Strong familiarity with the Microsoft 365/Azure environment and how EX platforms integrate with core HRIS master data.
• Analytical Rigour: The ability to architect data structures that support advanced response analytics and executive-level reporting.
• Consultative Approach: Exceptional stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence at both the technical and executive levels.

Preferred Qualifications

• ✅ Direct implementation experience with Microsoft Viva Glint (experience with Peakon, Qualtrics, Culture Amp)
• ✅ Familiarity with Azure Active Directory (Entra ID) and user provisioning workflows.
• ✅ Background in Management Consultancy or large-scale Digital Transformation programs.

Engagement & Application

If you have the requisite experience in functional system design and high-integrity data migration, we invite you to apply.

Submission Requirements

Please provide your updated CV and a direct contact number for a preliminary technical discussion.
