About BDO

At BDO Australia, our why is ‘empowering people, realising possibilities’. One way we bring this to life is by hiring and developing exceptional talent, to deliver on our wide array of audit, tax and advisory services.

About the Role

Drive seamless data migration and technical excellence in Dayforce HCM implementations.

Dayforce is a cloud-based HCM platform that delivers comprehensive human resources, payroll, workforce management, and talent management functionality.

As a Dayforce Data and Technical Consultant at BDO, you will play a pivotal role in migrating clients from non-Dayforce HCM platforms to Dayforce HCM. You will work closely with clients to provide expert technical guidance, ensuring seamless data transformation, system integrations, and export configurations—such as payroll to general ledger mappings. Your expertise will be essential in delivering high-quality solutions that enhance client efficiency and success.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary point of contact for product information and data-related queries during Dayforce HCM implementation projects.
• Work alongside implementation consultants to understand client system configurations, data structures, and key integration points.
• Extract, analyse, map, and transform legacy system data for migration into Dayforce HCM, ensuring accuracy and compliance with Dayforce specifications.
• Validate transformed data against requirements and troubleshoot discrepancies to ensure a seamless transition.
• Develop and refine data conversion tools and processes to improve efficiency and accuracy.
• Provide expert guidance on exporting data, including General Ledger exports and integrations with third-party systems.
• Support clients with import requirements into Dayforce, ensuring alignment with business needs.
• Manage custom reporting requirements, acting as the go-to resource for technical queries from both internal and external stakeholders.

About you

The ideal candidate will be a proactive and detail-oriented professional with a strong technical and functional understanding of Dayforce HCM. You will bring strong communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills to deliver high-quality solutions and exceptional client experiences.

Combined with:

• Solid experience in Dayforce implementation, with a proven track record of delivering successful HCM and WFM solutions.
• Strong technical expertise in SQL, XML, XSLT, and relational databases, along with advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Experience with Web Services API functionality, including RESTful and SOAP-based integrations.
• Ability to design and develop data exports from Dayforce to external systems.
• Proven ability to support clients in defining and implementing import requirements into Dayforce.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data sets, identify patterns, and resolve discrepancies effectively.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage confidently with stakeholders at all levels.
• Ability to recognise and address complex technical challenges, offering practical and innovative solutions.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of Dayforce data migration and technical integrations at BDO. If you are passionate about optimising HCM processes and driving impactful client outcomes, we encourage you to apply.
