Job description

ROCKCREST is seeking an experienced UKG Ready Consultant to support clients with troubleshooting, optimization, system administration, and ongoing enhancement of their UKG Ready environments.

We are looking for a well-rounded UKG Ready expert with hands-on experience across all major areas of the platform who can quickly assess client needs, identify system or process issues, recommend best practices, and make configuration changes when needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a UKG Ready subject matter expert across the full platform.
• Troubleshoot configuration, workflow, data, reporting, payroll, timekeeping, and system functionality issues.
• Perform UKG Ready health checks and system assessments to identify configuration gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
• Optimize existing UKG Ready environments based on client requirements and recommended best practices.
• Provide hands-on system configuration and administrative support.
• Advise clients on UKG Ready best practices, system capabilities, and more efficient ways to utilize the platform.
• Review and improve business processes, workflows, security, approvals, and system configuration.
• Assist with reporting, data validation, imports/exports, integrations, and system cleanup.
• Support clients with testing, troubleshooting, documentation, and post-implementation stabilization.
• Provide administrator guidance, knowledge transfer, and end-user training as needed.
• Partner directly with HR, Payroll, Finance, IT, and operational stakeholders to understand business requirements and translate them into effective system solutions.

• Scheduling
• Onboarding
• Performance Management
• Compensation
• Reporting & Analytics
• Workflows
• Security / User Roles
• Employee & Manager Self-Service
• Data Imports / Exports
• Integrations
• General system configuration and administration

Ideal Background

• Several years of direct, hands-on UKG Ready consulting, implementation, administration, or optimization experience.
• Deep understanding of how UKG Ready modules interact and how configuration decisions impact downstream processes.
• Ability to independently diagnose complex system issues and develop practical solutions.
• Experience supporting both pre- and post-implementation environments.
• Strong understanding of HR, payroll, timekeeping, and workforce management processes.
• Comfortable working directly with clients and providing consultative recommendations rather than simply completing assigned configuration tasks.
• Ability to explain technical system functionality to both experienced administrators and non-technical stakeholders.

What We're Looking For
