HR Data Analyst (6-Month Fixed-Term Contract)

The Opportunity:

We’re replacing our HR tech stack. BambooHR (core HR and performance) and Culture Amp (engagement) are being retired, and SAP SuccessFactors is going live in two waves this year — Employee Central, Performance & Goals and Compensation first, followed by Onboarding, Career Development, SmartRecruiters and Employee Engagement (Qualtrics).

The systems are the easy part. The data is not. We need someone who owns the migration end to end: getting our people data out of the old tools clean, mapped and validated — and into SuccessFactors in a state we can trust from day one. You’ll work alongside our HRIS Lead, implementation partner and the global People & Culture team, across roughly 300 employees worldwide.

Location: Utrecht, Netherlands (hybrid) or EU remote

What you’ll do

• Audit and cleanse people data in BambooHR: employment records, job and org structures, compensation data, performance history. Find the gaps, duplicates and legacy quirks before they become migration defects.

• Map source fields to the SuccessFactors Employee Central data model, and document every mapping decision, transformation rule and exception.

• Build and populate migration templates and import files; run mock loads, fix what breaks, and re-run until the load is clean.

• Design and run validation and reconciliation checks — record counts, field-level comparisons and spot audits — during the parallel-run period, so we can prove the new system matches reality before we switch off the old one.

• Recommend which historical data should be migrated and what should be archived, including performance cycles from BambooHR and engagement survey history from Culture Amp — balancing usefulness, effort and GDPR data-minimisation.

• Prepare test data and support UAT for each go-live wave; help the P&C team verify their own data.

• Handle personal data properly throughout: access controls, secure transfers, retention decisions and clean archiving of the sunsetted systems.

• Document as you go, so the HRIS Lead and P&C Operations can maintain data quality after you’re done.

What you bring

• 3+ years in an HR data, HRIS or people analytics role — you’ve lived inside HR systems, not just reported on them.

• Hands-on experience with at least one HRIS data migration. SuccessFactors Employee Central experience is a strong plus; BambooHR or Culture Amp familiarity helps too.

• Excellent Excel skills — you’re comfortable reconciling thousands of records with lookups, pivots and structured checks. SQL or Python for data wrangling is a bonus, not a requirement.

• A data-quality mindset: you notice the odd date format, the duplicate record, the cost centre that doesn’t exist anymore — and you fix the cause, not just the cell.

• Working knowledge of GDPR as it applies to employee data — especially retention and minimisation when migrating historical records.

• Clear communication with non-technical colleagues. You can explain to an HR business partner why their data needs fixing without making it their problem.

• Comfort with ambiguity and deadlines. This is a live implementation with fixed go-live windows, not a research project.

Nice to have

• SAP SuccessFactors certification (EC or reporting).

• Experience with engagement platform data exports (Culture Amp, Qualtrics, Peakon or similar).

• Experience in a global, distributed organisation — multiple countries, entities and payroll setups.

Additional Information:

• Full-time, 6-month fixed-term contract with the possibility of extension based on project needs.

• Based in Utrecht, Netherlands (hybrid). Remote within the EU considered for the right candidate.

• Reports to the HRIS Lead, working with the global People & Culture team and our implementation partner.

• Start date: as soon as possible — the first go-live wave is already live and the second lands in October.
