Following a successful implementation of Core HR, Payroll, and Recruitment, the organisation is now strengthening its internal HR systems capability as it moves into further optimisation and additional module rollout.

• Lead, coach, and develop a small team of HRIS analysts
• Act as the primary internal contact for Dayforce support and issue resolution
• Build and maintain HR reports, dashboards, and analytics to support decision‑making
• Deliver regular and ad‑hoc reporting, including statutory and group‑level submissions
• Work closely with HR, Payroll, and Recruitment teams to improve data quality and system usage
• Identify opportunities to improve how Dayforce is used across the business

• Proven hands‑on experience with Dayforce in an HRIS or systems role
• Strong capability in HR reporting, data analysis, and insight
• Advanced Excel skills; exposure to Power BI and/or XML is beneficial
