Location: On-site or remote within US time zones, with some flexibility for occasional Hong Kong-time syncs Type: Contract - 6–9 months (project basis) Reports to: People Operations Manager
The Role
We are looking for an experienced HRIS Implementation Specialist to lead the end-to-end implementation of BambooHR (our new HR Information System) — and to source and implement a separate compensation management system — at Nex. This is a hands-on, project-based contract where you will own both implementations end to end - from data migration and configuration through testing, training, go-live, and handover - partnering closely with our People team across multiple countries.
Nex is a global team, and you will lead and coordinate the move of our people operations onto reliable, well-integrated systems. You'll bring structure, momentum, and care to a project that touches every employee, and you'll leave us with well-documented, fully adopted platforms and a team that's confident running them on their own. Standing up BambooHR for our two largest hubs - Hong Kong and the US - is the top priority, with the remaining countries to follow. Because BambooHR's native payroll only covers US employees, this role also owns connecting BambooHR to a third-party EOR/global payroll partner (e.g., Deel, Papaya, Remote) for Hong Kong and future countries.
This is a US-based engagement (on-site or remote within US time zones) expected to run 6–9 months.
What You'll Do
Own the project end to end - build and manage the implementation plan, timeline, workback schedule, and stakeholder communications, keeping the rollout on track and on time.
Lead data migration - map, cleanse, validate, and migrate people data from our current systems into BambooHR, ensuring accuracy and completeness across all entities and countries.
Configure and implement BambooHR to support Nex's global, multi-country operations - org structure, employment types, workflows, permissions, and reporting.
Bridge multi-country payroll - since BambooHR doesn't natively support payroll outside the US, integrate and manage the connection to our EOR/global payroll partner(s) for Hong Kong and future countries, ensuring accurate data flow and jurisdiction-specific compliance.
Source and implement the compensation management system - evaluate and select a compensation management platform, then configure and roll it out the same way as the HRIS -
