Senior Data Conversion / ETL Specialist (Contract)

Location: Seattle, WA (Hybrid – 2–3 days onsite)
Duration: 1 year+ contract

The Need

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.

What You’ll Do

  • 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

What We’re Looking For

Must Have

  • 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 PowerShell)

  • Comfortable joining an active project with minimal hand-holding

  • Ability to work hybrid in Seattle (2–3 days onsite)

Nice to Have

  • 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

Not Required

  • College degree

  • Cloud-first data stacks or data science background

 

No Visa Sponsorship at this time. Must be local to the Seattle area.
