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
