HRIS Data Analyst

Senior Data Conversion / ETL Specialist (Contract)

Location: Seattle, WA (Hybrid — 2–3 days onsite)

Duration: 1 year contract

We’re looking for a senior, hands-on Data Conversion / ETL specialist to step into an active implementation and own the migration from JD Edwards (JDE) to Dayforce
. This role replaces a departing team member, so execution, reliability, and prior migration experience are critical. This is not a ramp-and-train role.

HRIS data migration experience is strongly preferred
, but candidates with ERP-to-ERP ETL project experience will be considered. Public-sector experience is a nice-to-have—this environment moves deliberately and values process over speed-at-all-costs.

• Own end-to-end ETL and data conversion during configuration and beyond
• Extract data from JD Edwards
  , transform it in SQL Server
  , and load it into Dayforce
• Design and maintain ETL processes using T‑SQL and SSIS
• Build complex joins, translations, and transformations across large datasets
• Clean and validate data (errors, duplicates, inconsistencies) to ensure accuracy and integrity
• Partner with internal teams and external vendors to understand source and target data requirements
• Document data mappings, transformation rules, and conversion processes for auditability
• Communicate progress, risks, and recommendations clearly to stakeholders
• Share best practices and continuously improve migration processes

• Senior-level ETL / data conversion experience
• Strong SQL Server skills (queries, joins, transformations)
• Hands-on experience with SSIS
• Experience on large, multi-month enterprise implementations
• Automation experience (Python or Power Shell)
• Comfortable joining an active project with minimal hand-holding
• Ability to work hybrid in Seattle (2–3 days onsite)

• HRIS migrations (Dayforce, Workday, ADP, etc.) — preferred
• ERP-to-ERP data migrations (EMR experience is a plus)
• Public sector or highly regulated environment experience
• Deep HR functional knowledge

• College degree
• Cloud-first data stacks or data science background
