Youll collaborate with a diverse, talented team and work on challenges that matter, all while contributing to Swiss Res mission of making the world more resilient.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and deliver end-to-end Workforce Management and Time & Attendance solutions across the full solution lifecycle — from requirements gathering and solution design through configuration, development, integration, testing, deployment and production support

• Solid experience with integration technologies, including APIs, file-based interfaces, SQL and scripting or development tools, with strong troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities

• Experience leading global or multi-country implementations, supporting country-specific Time & Attendance requirements and navigating diverse regulatory environments

These are additional nice to haves:

• Workforce Software certifications such as PT102, PT001, PT002, PT003, PT105, PT106, or equivalent Time & Attendance / Workforce Management certifications

• Experience working within Agile delivery frameworks and multidisciplinary teams
