Role overview
We’re looking for an experienced, detail-obsessed and hands-on HR System & Data Specialist to join our growing team.
This role will focus on ensuring clean, structured, and high-quality data is at the heart of every system implementation, integration, and optimisation.
You’ll work closely with HR, IT, end-users and project teams to improve data integrity, facilitate data cleanse, map system processes, support testing, and ensure HR data enables better decisions, compliance, and employee experience.
What you’ll do
Lead the data workstream for HRIS implementations, with a focus on data cleanse, migration, quality and systems (e.g. SAP SuccessFactors, Workday or others).
- Cleanse, map, validate, and migrate HR data from legacy systems to new platforms.
- Build effective relationships with system integration specialists, ensuring alignment with their activities.
- Own and develop key data templates, working with SMEs and SIs to define mapping rules.
- Support system configuration, data testing (UAT), and go-live activities.
- Monitor ongoing data quality and integrity across core modules (e.g. Employee Central).
- Support HR and business teams in capturing current processes to redesign and document processes aligned to data and new ways of working.
- Provide insight into how data structures align to HR processes and regulatory compliance (e.g. GDPR).
- Contribute to reporting design and analytics capability across the HR function.
- Experience of leading manual data collection and leading engagement across multiple locations.
- Deep and specialist knowledge in SAP, SuccessFactors and Query Manager.
- Build strong client relationships, acting as an extension of their HR team, and as a trusted advisor on data matters.
- Design and facilitate engaging workshops and feedback loops to support the end-to-end data management approach.
Skills and experience
We are looking for an experienced individual, who has done this role before and can bring knowledge and know-how to our wider team.
As this is a data-focused role, we are keen for a candidate who pays attention to detail, organised and has a deep system knowledge. Proven experience working in HRIS transformation or data specialist roles.
- Strong understanding of HR data structures, system logic, and integration flows.
- Advanced Excel and data management skills; experience using tools such as Excel Power Query; SAP Query Manager and Winshuttle.
- Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving and documentation skills.
- Self-starter with a collaborative and delivery-focused approach, able to manage a programme plan for the data workstream.
- Experience working with or alongside HRIS platforms (e.g. SAP Success Factors or Workday) is a must.
- A pragmatic and people-centred approach to change, able to work flexibly and adapt to the pace of change as led by the client.
- Application to design and lead process mapping.
- Comfortable working remotely, as part of a virtual team and managing multiple priorities.
- Experience in consulting, contracting, or working across multiple clients is a bonus.
