Are you the kind of person who slows down before making a foundational change, thinks through the downstream consequences, and finds satisfaction in building HR data structures that hold up over time? Then join our mission to pioneer smarter water solutions that reduce energy use and improve lives.

As our new Employee Central Specialist, you'll be safeguarding and evolving the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central foundation—position management, data model integrity and job catalogue structures—that underpins every downstream HR module, integration and report across our global landscape. You'll be part of a diverse, supportive and inclusive culture, that celebrates our differences and puts people first by fostering growth, well-being, and a sense of belonging.

What you will be doing

As a key part of the HR Platform Solutions team, you'll create impact by ensuring that foundational Employee Central configurations are robust, well-documented and future-proof, so module specialists, integrations and reporting all work seamlessly as Grundfos scales.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Own the Employee Central foundation layer—data model, position management and job catalogue—ensuring changes land without breaking downstream modules, integrations or reporting
• Model consequences across modules before configuring, proactively identifying risks rather than discovering them after deployment
• Support the India rollout by implementing global standards for Employee Central while respecting local legal and regulatory requirements
• Document every structural decision with its reasoning so future changes build on knowledge rather than repeat past mistakes
• Partner with module specialists to provide the foundation data and structures they need, staying accessible and collaborative without gatekeeping
• Drive continuous reduction of known foundation problems, replacing accumulated workarounds with clean, sustainable solutions

What makes you a great fit

Above all, you're a meticulous, systems-minded HR technology professional who combines deep Employee Central expertise with the patience and influence to hold data model integrity against pressure for quick fixes—someone trusted enough that when you say a change will take longer, people believe you. We'd also imagine that you are/have:

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, including position management and foundation data model configuration
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in HR, IT, Business or equivalent practical experience
• Demonstrated ability to lead HR process or configuration projects with cross-module impact
• Strong understanding of how Employee Central foundation choices affect downstream modules such as Compensation, Time, Payroll and integrations

It's a plus if you also:

• Experience supporting large-scale SuccessFactors rollouts in complex, multi-country environments
• Familiarity with Indian HR regulations and statutory requirements within Employee Central
• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central certification

Why you'll love working here

Day to day, you can look forward to:

• A working environment built around your needs, with flexible hours, home working opportunities and parental support.
• Annual bonuses, health insurance and a strong focus on well-being activities.
• Three days' additional paid leave for volunteering.
• On-demand training and structured development programmes to support your growth.

Valuing our differences helps us see possibilities where others can't. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from all abilities, experiences, and backgrounds. As part of our commitment to a safe and compliant hiring process, final candidates may be required to undergo a background check, subject to applicable local laws and regulations.
