ADP Workforce Now Implementation Specialist
Position Summary We are seeking an experienced ADP Workforce Now Implementation Specialist to lead the configuration, deployment, and integration of ADP Workforce Now for a U.S.-based nonprofit organization. This engagement requires a detail-oriented professional who can manage the complexities of a hybrid workforce — combining domestic payroll employees with international non-paid staff — and ensure a seamless, bidirectional data integration between ADP Workforce Now and Sage Intacct. Organization Overview The organization is a nonprofit with a global footprint, currently comprising approximately 165 employees: 75 U.S.-based employees processed through ADP payroll. Approximately 90 international employees onboarded as non-paid employees within ADP, ensuring the platform serves as the organization's single system of record for all personnel. All employees are exempt-status; the organization does not employ hourly staff. The Time & Attendance module will be utilized primarily for time-off request management rather than time-tracking.
Key Responsibilities
System Implementation & Configuration Lead end-to-end implementation of ADP Workforce Now, including system setup, module configuration, and workflow design. Configure ADP to accommodate both U.S. payroll employees and international non-paid employee records, maintaining data integrity across both populations. Establish ADP Workforce Now as the authoritative system of record (source of truth) for all employee data organization-wide. Configure the Time & Attendance module to support time-off request workflows appropriate for an all-exempt workforce. Sage Intacct Integration Design and implement a reliable, accurate data feed between ADP Workforce Now and Sage Intacct to support financial reporting and general ledger requirements. Collaborate with the finance team to map employee and payroll data fields between platforms, ensuring alignment with the organization's chart of accounts and reporting structure. Conduct thorough testing of the integration, validate data accuracy, and resolve discrepancies prior to go-live. Document integration specifications, data mapping, and ongoing maintenance procedures. Project Management & Stakeholder Collaboration Develop and manage an implementation project plan with clearly defined milestones, deliverables, and timelines. Serve as the primary point of contact for ADP and liaise with internal HR, Finance, and IT stakeholders throughout the implementation process. Facilitate training sessions for HR and administrative staff on ADP platform functionality. Proactively identify and escalate risks, issues, and dependencies that could impact project delivery.

Strong communication and project management skills, with the ability to translate technical requirements for non-technical stakeholders.
