The organisation is embarking on a major Business Improvement Programme, replacing ageing legacy systems with a modern, integrated SaaS platform covering HR, Payroll, and Finance.
Reporting directly to the Finance Director and acting as the organisation's dedicated implementation lead, you will own the delivery of this multi-phased transformation. Working in tandem with an external implementation partner, you will ensure a seamless, controlled go-live that safeguards frontline delivery and business-as-usual operations.
Why Work Here?
- Meaningful Social Purpose: Lead a flagship project that underpins essential services supporting individuals across Scotland.
- Flexibility: Hybrid working model with 3 days in the Edinburgh office (you choose the days) alongside a flexible working framework (core hours 10:00–12:00 & 14:00–16:00, with flexible bandwidth from 07:30 to 18:30).
- Project Longevity: A rare 2-year fixed-term programme offering stability, continuity, and significant strategic visibility at Executive and Board level.
Job
- Supplier & Partner Oversight: Direct and manage the external implementation partner and software vendor against agreed Statement of Work (SOW), scope, deliverables, and milestones.
- Data Migration: Devise and own the data migration strategy across HR, payroll, and finance—driving data cleansing, extraction, mapping, trial runs, opening balance reconciliations, and formal business sign-offs.
- Testing & Quality Assurance: Lead the end-to-end test strategy (System, Integration, and UAT). Own parallel payroll running to statutory reconciliation standard before cutover approval.
- Design & Scope Governance: Run the Design Authority to ensure configuration directly traces back to contracted requirements, firmly holding the line against out-of-scope customisation.
- Implementation & Cutover Planning: Maintain critical-path timelines, integrate cutover rehearsal plans, lead go/no-go readiness reviews, and execute business continuity planning. xgikmsk
