Define the target-state WFM cloud architecture (multi‑tenant or single‑tenant), including integration, data, security, and environment strategies.

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
