We’re on the hunt for a true iCHRIS specialist to join a large enterprise payroll environment in a technically hands-on and system-focused role.

This isn’t a business analyst or process owner role — the client has made it clear: they need someone who lives and breathes iCHRIS.

• Perform audits, reconciliations, and system validation to ensure payroll accuracy and compliance
• Manage vendor relationships and coordinate payroll system upgrades, fixes, and roadmaps
• Develop and implement integration and automation between systems (including Kronos and third-party platforms)
• Provide technical support, testing, and troubleshooting across payroll applications
• Lead system access management, user provisioning, and control audits
• Deliver technical documentation, training, and guidance to users and support teams
• Stay ahead of payroll regulation changes and proactively manage system updates

This is: what you’ll need

• Deep hands-on experience with iCHRIS configuration, technical troubleshooting, and system management
• Specific experience configuring iCHRIS leave groups, pay codes, custom forms, and templates
• Experience configuring UKG WFM PRO including business structure, complex pay rules, pay codes, work rules, labour categories, and organisational sets
• Preferred experience integrating iCHRIS with UKG WFM PRO
• 10+ years in payroll systems admin, HRIS admin, or technical payroll roles
• Strong working knowledge of payroll legislation and compliance requirements
• Preferred exposure to SAP, SuccessFactors, and ServiceNow
• Proficiency across data audits, automation, and system integrity checks
• Strong vendor coordination skills and experience driving third-party performance
• Analytical mindset with a detail-oriented approach to data accuracy
• Excellent documentation, troubleshooting, and cross-team communication skills

This is: the perks

• Join a global organisation with enterprise-scale payroll operations
• Take full ownership of technical systems within a collaborative environment
• Flexible and remote work model
• Long-term permanent opportunity with scope to shape system enhancements
