Global HR Analyst – Dayforce Implementation & People Data

Location: London (Hybrid, 3 days/week)

The Role:

We’re partnered exclusively with a fast-scaling organisation as they're kicking off a global Dayforce implementation and initially hiring a Global HR Analyst to support both business-as-usual people reporting and the success of this transformation.

This is a hybrid role combining initially HR Data & Reporting, before becoming hands-on supporting the implementation, and a view to become the Global HRIS Manager.

The business is highly acquisitive, expanding from 4,000 to 6,000+ employees and targeting 10,000+ globally. This is a unique opportunity to join early and grow into an HRIS or People Systems lead.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a trusted HR Analyst supporting a multi-phase global Dayforce implementation
• Manage core HR and reward reporting across multiple international entities
• Create and maintain dashboards, headcount reports, and engagement survey insights
• Support system configuration, testing (UAT), and data migration
• Assist with salary survey submissions, job evaluations, and benchmarking exercises
• Work with stakeholders across Reward and Talent to align data, processes, and reporting
• Support the transition to a shared services model by cleaning and consolidating people data
• Provide hands-on support for the rollout of Dayforce modules including Core HR, Talent, Payroll, WFM, L&D, and Recruitment
• Maintain oversight of people data accuracy and consistency throughout the transformation

What You’ll Bring:

• Proven experience in an HR Analyst or People Data Analyst role
• Strong Excel/reporting skills and comfort working with fragmented data sources
• Experience with HRIS platforms (ideally Dayforce)
• Familiarity with global HR processes including headcount tracking, performance, and engagement
• Ability to work independently in a lean, high-visibility role
• Strong interpersonal skills to collaborate with Reward, Talent, and Project stakeholders
• A flexible and proactive mindset, comfortable navigating change.
• Previous exposure to HRIS implementation, data migration, or transformation projects is highly desirable

What’s On Offer:

• Competitive salary up to £60,000
• Up to 8% bonus
• Hybrid working (3 days/week in London HQ)
• Opportunity to step into long-term HRIS/data leadership role
• A central position in one of the most significant Dayforce transformations in Europe

If you're an HR Analyst with the skills to bridge BAU reporting and global HRIS transformation, we’d love to hear from you.
