Job description

HR Systems Business Analyst - SAP SuccessFactors - Inside IR35 - Remote - 3 month contract with extension.

My client is looking for an experienced HR Systems Business Analyst to support the implementation of their own standalone instance of SuccessFactors, as they separate from a shared system currently in place with their parent company.

This will be a brand-new configuration, not a copy of the existing shared system, so the role requires an individual with both deep functional knowledge of SuccessFactors and strong business process expertise across HR, Finance, and Operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate business requirements: Work with stakeholders to convert business needs into detailed system and configuration requirements for SuccessFactors.
• Issue resolution: Investigate and resolve complex system and payroll issues, ensuring timely and effective outcomes.
• Data analysis: Use data to identify trends, insights, and opportunities for process improvement.
• Stakeholder collaboration: Partner with HR, IT, Finance, and third-party providers to deliver efficient, compliant solutions that meet business goals.
• Project involvement: Contribute to project delivery, manage system upgrades and enhancements, and help shape the HR technology roadmap.
• Quality assurance: Lead or support validation and testing activities to ensure system configurations meet business and technical standards.
• Continuous improvement: Drive adoption and optimisation of SuccessFactors to enhance user experience and operational efficiency.

Skills & Experience Required

• Strong understanding and hands‑on experience with SAP SuccessFactors modules.
• Proven ability to translate business requirements into technical and configuration solutions.
• Experience with system configuration, data analysis, and system integrations.
• Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
• Solid understanding of HR processes and the full employee lifecycle.
• Knowledge of Finance and Operations processes related to HR, IT, and the employee journey.
• Confident working in cross‑functional environments and liaising between business and technical teams.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a major HR systems transformation from the ground up, shaping how SuccessFactors is implemented and adopted across the business.
