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
- 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)
Salary and benefits
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.
