This role will define the architecture connecting time capture through pay calculation and general ledger postings, ensuring seamless integration with ADP Global Payroll (Celergo/Streamline) and SAP S/4HANA. This individual will serve as both a strategic architect and a functional expert—balancing hands‑on technical depth with the ability to create scalable, compliant, and sustainable solutions. Acting as the design authority, you will guide a global rollout that supports complex workforce environments, including rotational, unionized, and remote operations.

What you will work on

• Establish and govern global standards for pay and work rules, accruals, scheduling, and exception management, adapting frameworks for local compliance needs.
• Serve as the key design authority for change requests and system extensions, maintaining documentation and ensuring solution alignment to business goals.
• Partner with stakeholders across Finance, Payroll, HR, and IT to align technology design with business operations and compliance frameworks.
• Define and monitor performance and data quality targets, driving automation and regression coverage to maintain long‑term system stability and consistency.

What you will bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree required; field of study is flexible, with emphasis on proven experience and leadership in workforce or systems architecture.
• 12–18+ years of experience leading global Workforce Management and payroll solution architecture initiatives.
• Deep expertise in UKG/Kronos (Dimensions, WFC v8), ADP Global Payroll (Celergo, Streamline), and SAP S/4HANA FI/CO.
• Proven track record designing and delivering end‑to‑end time, pay, and financial posting processes across multiple geographies.
• Strong understanding of complex workforce environments, including rotational scheduling, union labor agreements, and offshore/onshore operations.
• Technical proficiency in integration methods (APIs, WIM, ETL tools), data validation frameworks, and audit‑readiness controls.
• Experience leading multi‑vendor delivery environments with diverse systems integrators and stakeholders.
• Exceptional communication and cross‑functional leadership skills with the ability to balance strategic vision and execution detail.
• Background in oil and gas, energy, or heavy industrial sectors preferred; certifications in UKG, ADP, SAP, PMP, or ITIL are a plus.

What you can expect

• Variety of workplace arrangements including hybrid, remote, onsite.
• Compensation commensurate with employee qualifications, experience, and other factors including geographic location, market, and operational factors.
• Pay Range: $90-$120 per hour
• Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life insurance, Disability insurance, 401(k) savings plan, Employee Stock Purchase plan, Professional development program, Paid Time Off, Paid Sick Time (in geographies where legally required)
