Oracle HCM & Payroll Transformation – Functional Consultant (Permanent Role)

🚀 Shape the Future of a Rising UK Powerhouse

This is a major UK business you might not know yet — but soon will. With big ambitions and rapid growth in a niche market, it's transforming fast and becoming the kind of name you'll want on your CV.

🔧 The Mission

The company is overhauling its legacy HR & Payroll systems and replacing them with Oracle HCM Cloud. You’ll join at the heart of a multi-phase digital transformation, starting with Core HR & Payroll, going live in a year — and continuing with modules like Recruitment, Learning, Talent & Compensation. Think long-term impact and not just a project, your BAU will be supporting continuous change.

This is a key role in enabling the organisation’s shift from fragmented, manual HR processes to a modern, cloud-based, self-service operating model. There will be significant opportunity to grow with the role , guiding the business through continuous improvement, future module rollout, and evolving Oracle capabilities.

The Oracle HCM programme sits at the heart of a broader digital transformation strategy and is supported by a cross-functional team. While the implementation team is distributed across several UK locations, a key HR operations hub is based in Scotland, and travel will be required during the first year to support rollout and change activities.
