Want to own and lead Oracle Fusion HCM and Payroll transformation across a FTSE250 organisation? Do you enjoy solving complex technical problems? Do you love releasing the potential of Fusion?

This is an opportunity to truly influence an Oracle environment and bring tangible benefits to this UK wide business.

There is a range of key projects where you would be provided variety, autonomy and continuous learning in a very friendly and collaborative team.

It's a strategic and hands‑on leadership role. You will manage a small team leading the design, improvement and delivery of Oracle HCM and Payroll functionality, driving value and ensuring best practice. You would be given the opportunity and freedom to shape what good looks like.

Key elements of the role include:

• Leading and mentoring two internal functional consultants.
• Managing end‑to‑end Oracle Fusion implementations, improvements and quarterly releases.
• Acting as subject matter expert on HCM and Payroll processes, configurations, Fast Formula and business operations.
• Collaborating with internal teams and third‑party vendors to deliver efficient, user‑friendly solutions.
• Supporting BAU activity and resolving escalations via ServiceNow.
• Owning documentation, functional design, testing and knowledge‑sharing across the group.

We'd like a skilled functional consultant or manager who understands both the business and technical sides of HCM and Payroll. You will need:

• 5+ years' experience in Oracle Fusion HCM and Payroll.
• Proven track record delivering quarterly Oracle updates and continual improvement.
• Expert‑level Fast Formula skills.
• Experience leading or mentoring others.
• Strong communication skills able to bridge technical and business needs.
• Excellent documentation and business process mapping capabilities.

Bonus points for project management experience (Agile/Waterfall), a relevant degree or CIPD/payroll qualifications.

It's a predominantly remote role with occasional travel to various regional offices.

This is a high‑impact, group‑level role with visibility across the business. You will be supported by a collaborative team and trusted to drive forward solutions. With hybrid working and flexibility, it's a great fit for someone who thrives on ownership and continuous improvement.
