HRIS Implementation Specialist - 1yr FTC

We’re looking for an experienced HRIS Implementation Specialist to join the Healix People Team and play a key role in the implementation of Dayforce across the organisation.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role supporting the rollout of a new global HR system. You’ll work closely with our People Systems, Benefits and Reward Specialist (the system owner and subject matter expert), the IT Project Manager, and external implementation partners to ensure the system is configured, tested and embedded successfully.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building, testing and implementing HR systems and supporting users through change — rather than owning long-term system strategy or reward design.

• Proven experience supporting at least one HRIS implementation (Dayforce highly desirable)
• Practical, hands-on experience with:

  • HRIS configuration support

  • Data migration and validation
  • UAT execution
  • Implementation documentation
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple workstreams
• Confidence working with HR data and structured templates (e.g. Excel)
• Clear communication skills and ability to explain system concepts to non-technical users
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, project-based environment

• Experience supporting global or multi-country HR processes
• Exposure to payroll or benefits modules within an HRIS
• Previous fixed-term or project-based HR systems roles
• Experience working with external HRIS vendors or consultants

There are no specific qualifications required for this role — relevant experience is what matters most.

About The Role

Provide hands-on support across the full Dayforce implementation lifecycle, including configuration, data migration, testing and deployment. Support system setup in line with global and local requirements, and assist with data preparation, validation and reconciliation.

Play an active role in UAT by creating and executing test scripts, logging and supporting defect resolution, and validating fixes. Support integration testing with payroll, benefits and other downstream systems. Work closely with external implementation partners, tracking progress and escalating issues as needed.

Support organisational readiness and adoption of Dayforce across the business. Partner with Learning & Development to identify training needs and support the design and delivery of role-based training for HR, managers and employees.

Contribute to training plans, materials and communications, working with Internal Communications and Marketing to support change and adoption. Act as a key link between the project team and the wider business, highlighting readiness risks and supporting enhanced go-live and early adoption support.

Develop and maintain system documentation, including process guides, configuration summaries and user “how-to” materials. Support system cutover, post-go-live stabilisation, and act as a point of contact for Dayforce-related queries during implementation and early adoption.

Support HR data accuracy throughout migration and implementation, ensuring alignment with GDPR, data protection and Healix security standards, including ISO27001.

Work closely with People Systems, IT, regional HR teams and external consultants. Liaise with regional stakeholders to capture local requirements and support adoption, and contribute to project meetings, status updates and implementation planning.

Required Criteria

• Proven HRIS implementation experience, with hands-on involvement in configuration, data migration and UAT (Dayforce experience strongly preferred).
• Strong attention to detail and delivery focus, with the ability to manage multiple implementation activities in a fast-paced, project-based environment.
• Clear communication skills, able to translate system functionality into practical guidance for HR teams, managers and employees.

Desired Criteria

• Experience supporting global or multi-country HR systems, including understanding local process variations.
• Exposure to payroll and/or benefits modules within an HRIS.
• Experience working with external HRIS vendors or consultants as part of a structured implementation programme.
