Job description

Are you someone who enjoys sitting between people, process and technology?

We're partnering with a large, complex organisation undertaking a significant HR systems transformation and are looking for a HR Systems Analyst to join the team on a contract basis. This is an opportunity to contribute to a major PeopleSoft upgrade while working alongside experienced Business Analysts and HR systems specialists in a collaborative and supportive environment.

This role is ideal for someone with experience in HR systems, HR analytics, system testing, or business analysis who enjoys solving problems, working closely with stakeholders, and translating business requirements into practical outcomes.

You'll play a key role in supporting user acceptance testing, investigating system issues, gathering requirements from stakeholders, and assisting with the rollout and optimisation of HR system functionality. While experience with PeopleSoft would be highly regarded, the team is open to candidates who have worked with other HRIS platforms and can quickly get up to speed in a new environment.

What makes this opportunity particularly attractive is the team itself. You'll be joining a highly collaborative group that genuinely supports one another. They are looking for someone who's curious, adaptable, and enjoys working alongside others to achieve shared outcomes. Technical capability is important, but attitude and team fit will be just as critical.

To be successful, you'll likely bring:

• Experience working with HR systems, HRIS platforms, or HR data
• Exposure to user acceptance testing (UAT)
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
• Experience gathering and documenting business requirements
• A proactive and solutions-focused mindset
• The ability to work independently while remaining a strong team contributor

This position sits at an intermediate level, making it well suited to someone who has built a solid foundation in HR systems or business analysis and is looking to further develop their skills within a large and interesting environment.

There is an immediate need for support, however there is also the potential for longer-term opportunities for the right person as the team continues to evolve.

If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact, develop your systems expertise, and be part of a team that values collaboration and continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you.
