Role Description: 

Design and deliver technology architecture for a platform, product, or engagement. Define solutions to meet performance, capability, and scalability needs.

Senior technical leader responsible for architecting and delivering the end-to-end migration of a highly customized on-premise Infor Workforce Management (WFM) platform to the Infor Cloud (multi-tenant or single-tenant). Owns technical strategy, architecture decisions, and execution leadership across upgrade, modernization, and cloud adoption—ensuring alignment to business constraints, scalability, and long-term maintainability.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Technical Strategy

• Define target-state architecture for Infor WFM in cloud (multi-tenant vs. single-tenant), including integration, data, security, and environment strategy
• Lead fit-to-standard vs. customization decisions; drive reduction of legacy technical debt
• Establish modernization patterns (e.g., legacy Java → Groovy, configuration over customization, extensibility frameworks)
• Define upgrade path strategy (version sequencing, interim upgrades, compatibility constraints)
• Own integration architecture across boundary systems (HRIS, payroll, ERP, identity, etc.)

Upgrade & Migration Delivery Leadership

• Lead full lifecycle delivery: assessment, design, build, test, cutover, and hypercare
• Translate highly customized legacy constructs into scalable cloud-native solutions
• Define and execute data conversion strategy (historical vs. active data, transformation rules, reconciliation approach)
• Drive environment strategy (dev/test/prod, refresh cycles, tenant management)
• Maintain delivery rigor across aggressive timelines, blackout windows, and operational constraints

Technical Team Leadership

• Lead a technical team of 5–10+ engineers and coordinate across a broader 10–15+ technical + functional team
• Establish development standards, code quality practices, and CI/CD or deployment governance
• Provide hands-on guidance for complex design, integrations, and performance tuning
• Manage dependencies across vendors, system integrators, and client teams

Customization & Modernization Execution

• Inventory and rationalize legacy customizations (extensions, scripts, interfaces)
• Lead conversion strategies:

• Java → Groovy or Infor extensibility frameworks
• Batch processes → event-driven or API-based integrations
• Custom UI → Infor-delivered UX/configuration

• Ensure alignment with Infor cloud constraints (multi-tenant limitations, upgrade-safe design)

Testing, Cutover & Go-Live

• Define system integration testing (SIT), UAT, and performance testing strategies
• Own cutover planning including sequencing, rollback strategy, and data migration validation
• Navigate business blackout periods and ensure minimal disruption to payroll/workforce operations
• Support go-live readiness and hypercare stabilization

Stakeholder & Governance Management

• Serve as primary technical advisor to client leadership and program stakeholders
• Translate technical decisions into business impact (cost, risk, timeline, maintainability)
• Drive governance forums (architecture review boards, design authority, change control)
• Ensure alignment with security, compliance, and cloud governance standards

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years enterprise application architecture experience, with deep expertise in Infor WFM
• Proven experience leading Infor WFM cloud migrations or major upgrades

• Strong knowledge of:

• Infor Cloud (multi-tenant & single-tenant models)
• WFM modules (timekeeping, scheduling, absence, labor forecasting)
• Infor extensibility frameworks (Groovy, APIs, configuration tools)

• Experience modernizing highly customized legacy platforms
• Strong integration background (middleware, APIs, file-based, event-driven patterns)
• Demonstrated leadership of technical teams (5–10+) in complex, multi-system programs
• Experience managing cutover, blackout windows, and business-critical operations (e.g., payroll)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with adjacent enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle, Maximo)
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure models, security, and DevOp practices
• Prior experience in utilities, public sector, or highly regulated environments
• Exposure to large-scale ERP or workforce transformation programs
