Summary Responsible for overseeing the successful implementation, including data migration and configuration, of Deel's full HR suite for clients across the APAC region. You'll lead and manage end-to-end implementation projects spanning HRIS, Engage, ATS, Workforce Planning, and Compensation, ensuring clients' environment is accurately configured, data is accurately migrated, and the transition is seamless. You'll work closely with clients and internal teams, guiding stakeholders through functional setup, sharing best practices, and offering ongoing consulting support throughout the engagement — often operating with a high degree of autonomy given the time zone difference with other Deel's teams. Responsibilities - Lead complex HR implementation projects: Independently manage and execute complex implementation requests across Deel's full HR suite — including HRIS, Engage, ATS, Workforce Planning, and Compensation — ensuring a smooth and successful rollout for new and transitioning clients. - Project manage end-to-end: Own the full project lifecycle, from scoping and planning through to go-live and closure, managing timelines, milestones, risks, and client expectations. - Platform expertise: Lead clients through the functional configuration of Deel HR suite products, translating their business requirements into platform setup and ensuring each module is configured to reflect their processes accurately. - Functional consulting: Serve as a trusted consultant to client stakeholders, proactively recommending best practices, suggesting practical workarounds, and helping clients get the most out of the platform — even when their requirements fall outside standard configurations. - Mentor and collaborate: Act as a mentor to new Implementation Managers, guiding them through complex scenarios and promoting best practices across the full HR suite. - Data migration and integrity: Oversee and perform data imports to migrate client data from outgoing HR systems into Deel, ensuring accuracy, data integrity, and compliance with data protection regulations. - Self-sufficient execution: Comfortable operating with a high degree of independence. Due to time zone differences, support from Engineering, Product, IT, and the broader onboarding team may not always be immediately available, so the ability to problem-solve proactively and keep projects moving without day-to-day oversight is essential. Qualifications - Must have experience working with or managing clients across the broader APAC region. - Minimum 6-8 years of experience in HR systems implementation, with demonstrated expertise in managing complex, multi-module projects. - Experience implementing or configuring across multiple HR product areas — such as HRIS/Core, ATS, Performance, Career and Learning, Workforce planning, or Compensation management. - Proven project management skills, with the ability to independently design, manage, and deliver implementation plans and schedules for clients. - Strong functional consulting ability — comfortable running discovery sessions, recommending best practices, and proposing workarounds when standard configurations don't fit client needs. - Comfortable working autonomously in a remote environment. - Passion for teaching and empowering both customers and colleagues, with a genuine commitment to customer service and relationship building. - Excellent communication skills, capable of clearly conveying complex ideas and data in written, presentation, and verbal formats. - Experience in payroll, preferred. - Prior experience in a high-growth startup or scale-up, preferred. - Fintech or HRtech industry experience, preferred.
