Role: SAP SuccessFactors Manager – Employee Central & Compensation

Level: Manager

Location: UK Wide

Salary:

• London: Up to £90,000
• Outside London: Up to £84,000–£85,000
• Function: SAP HCM / Cloud HR Transformation

About the Client

Our client is a global professional services organisation operating across strategy, consulting, technology and operations. With a significant international workforce and deep capability in digital and cloud transformation, they deliver complex, enterprise-scale HR programmes across multiple industries.

About the Role

You will join a well-established SAP SuccessFactors practice delivering large-scale HR transformation programmes within complex enterprise environments.

This role sits at Manager level, with responsibility for leading functional workstreams across Employee Central and Compensation, owning design decisions and driving delivery quality from discovery through to go-live.

You are expected to operate as a subject matter expert rather than purely a configurator. You will influence solution design, manage senior client stakeholders and lead consultants across full lifecycle implementations.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Acting as the functional lead for Employee Central and Compensation across delivery programmes.
• Running workshops to gather, challenge and refine business requirements.
• Translating requirements into scalable solution designs and system configuration.
• Leading design, build, test and deployment activities.
• Configuring workflows, business rules, role-based permissions, compensation templates and eligibility logic in line with best practice.
• Supporting integrations into Payroll, Finance and Talent modules.
• Overseeing data migration strategy and execution.
• Producing high-quality functional specifications and documentation.
• Leading small teams or workstreams on multi-stream transformation programmes.

This is a delivery-facing role with real client exposure. You will be expected to present confidently, challenge constructively and maintain control of your workstream.

Ideal Background

• Strong hands-on experience across SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and Compensation.
• Proven delivery of at least 2–3 full lifecycle EC and/or Compensation implementations.
• Experience leading workstreams or mentoring junior consultants.
• Strong stakeholder management capability within enterprise environments.
• Ability to translate business problems into structured, scalable system solutions.
• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and Compensation certifications are essential.

Big 4 or Tier 1 consulting experience is advantageous but not mandatory.

What You’ll Receive

• Competitive base salary aligned to location and experience level.
• Up to 30 days annual leave.
• Private medical insurance.
• Three additional days of charitable leave per year.
• Clear progression pathway toward Senior Manager.

Flexibility and mobility are required. Client-site presence will be necessary depending on project demands.

Who Should Apply

This role suits a technically strong SuccessFactors consultant who has moved beyond configuration and now wants ownership, leadership exposure and progression toward senior delivery roles.

If you are already operating at Manager level and leading EC or Compensation streams, this aligns directly.
