You will lead workstreams to evolve Bruker’s HR systems—primarily SAP SuccessFactors and iCIMS—across a global footprint. The role blends product ownership, configuration, reporting/analytics, and end-to-end project delivery (scope, plan, risks, change, and adoption), with a special emphasis on implementing and governing Employee Central Position Management.

Core SuccessFactors & HRIS

• Provide senior functional support across EC, LMS, Onboarding, Performance & Goals, and Recruiting integrations; act as Tier-2/3 escalation.
• Configure and maintain foundation objects, workflows, picklists, RBP; design business rules/validations to protect data quality at source.
• Prepare and execute data imports/migrations and lead UAT cycles; define regression packs for bi-annual releases.
• Ensure high-quality EC data across the employment lifecycle; implement data quality KPIs and remediation playbooks.
• Troubleshoot and monitor integrations (HR/Payroll/Finance); manage iCIMS touchpoints and contribute to interface design reviews.
• Maintain secure access in line with GDPR and internal data privacy standards; perform periodic access/audit
• Deliver global training, job aids, release notes; champion adoption and continuous improvement.

Project delivery & governance (Senior level)

• Own workstream delivery: plan, track, and report scope, timeline, resources, budget assumptions, and risks; maintain RAID and status dashboards.
• Translate business needs into clear requirements and functional specs; manage backlog and prioritization with Product Owner/HR leadership.
• Orchestrate cutover, hypercare, and stabilization across regions/time zones; define success KPIs and acceptance criteria.
• Lead vendor management (SOWs, estimates, QA of deliverables) and coordinate with IT on CPI/Integration Center/OData items.
• Drive change management (stakeholder mapping, comms, training plans) to ensure measurable adoption and value realization.

Implementation experience — Position Management (emphasis)

• Lead or co-lead EC Position Management design/rollout as the single source of truth for positions and headcount.
• Configure position types, attribute inheritance (job/org/location), incumbency rules, matrix relationships, and create/change/close workflows.
• Establish position-controlled hiring and the Position → Requisition flow; align with Recruiting/iCIMS and Finance on approved vs. filled/open headcount.
• Drive data migration (IDs, status, FTE, org mapping); implement reconciliation to eliminate orphan/duplicate
