The work:

The Infor Workforce Management Lead is responsible for architecting and delivering the migration of a highly customized on‑premise Infor WFM platform to the Infor Cloud. This role owns end‑to‑end technical strategy, modernization, integrations, and delivery execution to ensure scalability, maintainability, and alignment with business requirements. Define the target-state WFM cloud architecture (multi‑tenant or single‑tenant), including integration, data, security, and environment strategies. You will lead decisions on fit‑to‑standard vs. customization and drive reduction of legacy technical debt.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead modernization strategies (e.g., Java → Groovy, batch → event‑driven/API, custom UI → Infor configuration)
  • Define upgrade and migration strategies, including version sequencing and compatibility considerations
  • Design integration architecture across HRIS, payroll, ERP, identity, and other boundary systems
  • Lead full lifecycle delivery: assessment, design, build, testing, cutover, and hypercare
  • Convert highly customized on‑prem WFM constructs into scalable cloud solutions
  • Oversee data conversion, including historical vs. active data, transformation rules, and reconciliation
  • Manage environment strategy for dev/test/prod, tenant management, and refresh cycles
  • Ensure delivery discipline across aggressive timelines, blackout periods, and operational constraints
  • Lead a technical team of 5–10+ engineers and coordinate with broader technical and functional teams
  • Set development standards, code quality expectations, and CI/CD governance
  • Provide hands‑on guidance for complex design, integrations, and performance tuning
  • Manage dependencies across vendors, system integrators, and client teams
  • Serve as the primary technical advisor to client leadership
  • Translate technical decisions into business impacts (cost, risk, timeline, maintainability)
  • Validate data migration and minimize operational impacts during blackout periods
  • Support go‑live readiness and post‑go‑live stabilization

Here's what you need:

  • 10+ years of 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 such as timekeeping, scheduling, absence, and labor forecasting
    • Infor extensibility frameworks including Groovy, APIs, and configuration tools
  • Experience modernizing highly customized legacy platforms
  • Strong integration background across middleware, APIs, file‑based, and event‑driven patterns
  • Demonstrated leadership of technical teams (5–10+) in complex, multi‑system programs
  • Experience managing cutover activities, blackout windows, and business‑critical operations such as payroll
  • Willingness to travel up to 10%

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with adjacent enterprise systems such as SAP, Oracle, or Maximo
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure models, security practices, and DevOps concepts
  • Prior experience working in utilities, public sector, or highly regulated environments
  • Exposure to large‑scale ERP or workforce transformation programs
