HRIS & Benefits Analyst

Winckworth Sherwood LLP; London; On-site; GBP 60,000 - 80,000; Full time

Job description

Due to our current HRIS & Benefits Analyst embarking on a career change after 7 years with us, we are now looking to recruit for her replacement to join our supportive HR team of 10 people (including this hire), who support over 370 people across our London, Oxford and Manchester offices. The role will be based at our flagship head office in London on a full time, 35hr a week basis. Please note that we operate a 3 day a week in office hybrid working policy.

As our HRIS & Benefits Analyst, you will be:

• Managing and maintaining our HR Systems and platforms; including AllHires, VinciWorks, ADP and Benefit Select, and with particular focus on MyWS (CIPHR).
• Developing the HR System to reach its full potential, enhancing reporting capabilities and management information, and improving the user experience.

You will also be responsible for:

• HR data, reporting and management information.
• The role will also deal with benefits renewals, and the associated data requirements, as well as bulk uploads to benefit portals where needed.

ABOUT YOU

You will be able to demonstrate experience of working within an HR team and cross-functionally in a professional services environment (in a law firm would be desirable). As reporting forms a large part of the role, the successful person needs to have an advanced knowledge of Microsoft Excel (lookups, pivot tables, IF and SUMIFS etc.) and the curiosity to expand and enhance knowledge as required.

Substantial experience as an HRIS super user will be needed, you’ll use your proactive mindset to constantly question what can be done better or more efficiently. You will love data and be able to tell us about your experience of building and presenting reports and dashboards in MS Excel, (experience using PowerBI is a bonus!).

In return, you will get the opportunity to grow your expertise and personal brand in a collaborative, entrepreneurial working environment.
