HRIS Configuration Specialist
Birmingham
£55000 - £65000/annum
Posted 1 day ago
About the role
This isn't a "keep the system ticking over" HRIS role.
It exists because the business is going through change, a structural split, evolving systems landscape, and a need for someone who can actually build, not just maintain HRIS.
HRIS Configuration Specialist
Birmingham (office-based, 5 days/week)
£55,000 - £65,000 + 10% bonus
The context
You'll be joining a UK-based logistics business that moves high volumes of bulk freight.
Internally, things are shifting:
The business is separating into distinct entities
HR systems are still shared (for now)
There's likely a second HRIS instance on the horizon
For the next 12 months, it's a mix of BAU + change. After that, there's potential to be involved in standing something new up.
What you'll actually be doing
This is hands-on configuration work. Not coordination. Not passing tickets to a third party.
Typical examples include:
Building and deploying new configurations across HCM and payroll-related areas
Supporting system changes (e.g. new pay elements, rates, rules)
Managing and maintaining integrations between HR and payroll systems
Supporting bi-annual system releases and associated testing (UAT)
Working through the full lifecycle: requirements → build → test → deploy
Handling BAU issues where system behaviour, data, or processes need fixing
You'll be part of a small HRIS team, giving you real ownership and visibility over the work you deliver.
Requirements
You'll need:
Proven experience configuring an HR or payroll system
Confidence working in the back end of a system - building, not just using
An understanding of how changes impact downstream processes (especially payroll/data)
Beneficial
Workday specifically (SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, SuccessFactors all fine)
The package includes a salary of £55,000 to £65,000, alongside a 10% bonus. You'll also receive up to a 9% pension contribution, 25 days' holiday, and life assurance.
