• User Support & Training:Act as a key contact for HR system users, providing troubleshooting, guidance, and training to ensure effective system use.
• Compliance:Ensure HR system processes comply with GDPR, company policies, and relevant legislation.
• Stakeholder Engagement:Work closely with HR, Payroll, L&D, and IT teams to understand and deliver on business needs.
• Continuous Improvement:Stay informed about HR technology trends and suggest relevant improvements to enhance our HR systems.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience:3-5 years’ hands‑on experience administering and supporting HRIS platforms (e.g., Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, or similar) in a medium or large organisation.
• Technical Skills:Experience configuring, maintaining, and supporting HR systems, including user management and troubleshooting.
• HR Data Management:Strong attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy and integrity within HR systems.
• Problem-Solving:Experience resolving HRIS system issues and supporting end users.
• Project Support:Experience supporting HRIS upgrades, module implementations, or integrations.
• Communication:Strong verbal and written communication skills, able to train and support HR system users and explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Collaboration:Collaborative approach with HR, Payroll, L&D, and IT teams.
• Compliance:Understanding of HR data privacy, GDPR, and other relevant legislation.
• Interest in Innovation:Keen to stay current with HR technology trends and best practices.

Desirable

• Degree or professional qualification in HR, IT, Business, or a related field.
• Experience with HR data privacy and compliance.
• Experience with process mapping or workflow design.
• Exposure to AI or automation tools in HR (not essential).
