The rollout includes core modules such as Payroll, Time & Attendance, and Core HR, and requires a strong focus on behavioural change, readiness, and successful adoption across operational and office-based environments.
To support this rollout, the organisation requires an experienced Change Manager to lead the people, behavioural and readiness components of the transition. The successful consultant will ensure the new HRIS platform is understood, adopted and embedded across varied workforce groups, including frontline operational staff and office-based teams.

* Lead readiness activities across multiple sites, ensuring employees and leaders are equipped for the transition.
* Partner closely with Payroll, HR, Operations, and project leadership to support a smooth and coordinated rollout.
* Identify and evaluate change impacts across workforce groups, and develop mitigation and readiness plans.
* Coach frontline leaders, team managers and operational stakeholders to drive adoption and behavioural change.
* Support the design and execution of training and communication materials that meet the needs of diverse workforce groups.
* Monitor adoption risks, resistance points, and site-level readiness, escalating issues as required.
Skills & Qualifications:
* Strong experience leading organisational change in blue-collar or operational environments.
* Hands-on experience delivering HRIS, payroll, or workforce management system implementations.
* Prior experience with Dayforce or equivalent platforms (e.g., SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Ceridian, ADP).
* Ability to plan and execute change activities across multiple physical sites as well as remote/office environments.
* Confidence engaging and influencing frontline leaders, operations managers and varied stakeholder groups.
