Be part of our transformative HR systems journey. We’re looking for an experienced and business-focused HR Time & Attendance Specialist to play a key role in the rollout of Workforce Software (WFS) across our organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to shape how we capture, manage, and optimise workforce time—ensuring a seamless transition into Business as Usual (BAU).

Working alongside the HRIS T&A Lead and cross-functional teams, you’ll bring a developed operational lens to system implementation—ensuring processes, policies, and compliance requirements are fully aligned.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own and Shape Business Processes
  • Provide business-led input into the configuration of WFS, including schedules, approvals, rules, exceptions, and balances.
  • Ensure system logic reflects HR policies, operational needs, and UK Working Time Regulations.
  • Validate data and support migration activities from Employee Central (EC), including business sign-off.
  • Act as a key guardian of HR process integrity and governance.
• Lead Business-Focused Testing (UAT)
  • Develop and execute User Acceptance Testing (UAT) scenarios based on real business processes.
  • Validate end-to-end workflows across timekeeping, scheduling, approvals, and payroll.
  • Capture, track, and support resolution of defects from a business perspective.
  • Maintain robust test documentation to support audit and compliance requirements.
• Support Payroll & Workforce Readiness
  • Validate payroll accuracy, including parallel runs, ensuring outputs align with expectations.
  • Conduct pre-go-live HR checks, including data accuracy (e.g. TOIL balances, schedules).
  • Collaborate closely with HR Operations to ensure organisational readiness.
• Drive Cutover & Change Readiness
  • Execute HR-focused cutover tasks to ensure smooth system transition.
  • Test cutover plans and sequencing with HR, IT, and Payroll stakeholders.
  • Support communication and change management activities to drive adoption.
  • Create clear SOPs, process documentation, and user guidance.
• Be a Go-Live Champion
  • Provide hands-on support during go-live and hypercare.
  • Review initial payroll impacts and validate business outcomes.
  • Support managers and employees with system queries.
  • Participate in issue triage and resolution to ensure a stable transition.
  • Maintain post-go-live guides and documentation.

• Proven involvement in at least one full lifecycle T&A implementation or major enhancement.
• Strong understanding of timekeeping, scheduling, pay rules, and compliance from an operational perspective.
• Experience conducting UAT (script writing, execution, defect management).
• Ability to engage senior stakeholders and support change across the business.
• Understanding of HRIS/T&A/Payroll integrations and data flows.

Desirable Experience

• Experience shaping Workforce Software configuration from a business perspective.

• Knowledge of union rules, UK Working Time Regulations, or multi-country implementations.
• Experience supporting cutover and hypercare phases.
• Previous roles in HR Operations, Payroll, or Workforce Management.
