Reporting to the Head of Enterprise Applications, you will work closely with HR, Payroll, Operations, Technology teams, implementation partners and business stakeholders to understand requirements, improve business processes and support the implementation of Workday HCM across the Group.

This is an opportunity to work within a complex, operationally diverse and global organisation while contributing to a major technology transformation.

Key Responsibilities

• Facilitate workshops to gather, analyse and document business requirements.

• Develop clear, high-quality artefacts, including process maps, business requirements, functional specifications, user stories, test scripts and supporting documentation.
• Support the implementation of Workday functionality across Core HCM, Recruitment, Onboarding, Compensation, Talent, Absence and Security.
• Collaborate with Enterprise Applications, Integration, Data and Change teams to support end-to-end solution delivery.
• Assist with the analysis of integrations between Workday and other enterprise applications.

• Participate in data migration, reconciliation and dress rehearsal activities.
• Engage with business units and stakeholders across Kelsian's global operations to support solution alignment and adoption.
• Identify and communicate project risks, issues, dependencies and decisions.
• Contribute to cutover, go-live readiness and post-implementation hypercare activities.

You will bring:

• Strong workshop facilitation and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Well-developed analytical, problem-solving and communication capabilities.
• The ability to work collaboratively across decentralised and operationally diverse business environments.

Experience in one or more Workday HCM modules will be highly regarded, as will exposure to enterprise integration platforms, HR and payroll integrations, global implementations or multi-country organisations.
