Job description

The Careers are Better at Hungry Jack’s!

Hungry Jack’s is looking for an experienced HRIS Lead to take the next step in our HR technology journey, leading the transition from project implementation into BAU, stabilisation, governance and continuous improvement.

With Workday now established across much of our business, there are still outstanding modules and capabilities to deliver. We’re looking for someone comfortable operating across both worlds: completing project delivery while establishing the structure, controls and ways of working required for a mature, sustainable HRIS function.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead the delivery of outstanding Workday modules, enhancements and functionality.
• Support the transition from project mode into BAU, establishing clear ownership, governance and sustainable support practices.
• Drive the ongoing stabilisation and optimisation of Workday across the employee lifecycle.
• Establish meaningful metrics and controls across system health, data quality, process performance, integrations, security and adoption.
• Identify recurring issues, bottlenecks and manual workarounds, turning insights into practical improvements.
• Lead system enhancements, testing, UAT, releases and upgrades.
• Partner with P&C, IT, PMO, Operations and vendors to ensure our People systems remain fit for purpose.
• Lead and develop the HRIS team and build broader system capability across the Hungry Jack’s organisation.

What you’ll bring

• Strong experience with HRIS/HCM platforms, ideally Workday.
• Experience working across both system implementation and BAU environments.
• Strong understanding of HR processes, data, governance and the employee lifecycle.
• A continuous improvement mindset and ability to translate system insights into action.
• Strong stakeholder management, problem-solving and communication skills.
• Leadership experience and a genuine interest in developing others.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to help shape what comes after implementation. You’ll finish key elements of our Workday journey while building the governance, measures and improvement practices that will support Hungry Jack’s for the long term.

If you enjoy solving complex HR technology problems, building structure from change and making systems work better for the people who use them, we’d love to hear from you.
