We're seeking an experienced HRIS Lead (Business Side) to play a pivotal role in a major, first-of-its-kind HR systems transformation. With funding secured and procurement now underway, this is a rare opportunity to shape the organisation's first large-scale enterprise HR platform implementation from the ground up.
This role sits within the central program team as the HR people-domain lead, ensuring delivery is grounded in how the organisation actually operates - across HR, Finance, IT, and the wider People Group.
The Opportunity
This is not a technical delivery or scrum-lead role. Instead, you will bring pragmatic business-side leadership, translating HR intent into executable outcomes across process, operating model, governance, and adoption.
You'll partner closely with the business Project Manager and governance lead, helping define:
What "good" looks like for a core HR system and related platforms (e.g., performance)
Realistic sequencing, timing, and adoption expectations
Process ownership, data stewardship, and operating-model decisions
Where to integrate existing processes vs redesign for the future state
This is a highly influence-driven position, working in an environment of ambiguity, competing priorities, and varying levels of delivery maturity - requiring strong judgement, structure, and stakeholder confidence.
Key Responsibilities
Act as the business-side HR domain lead within a complex enterprise HRIS program
Partner with senior stakeholders across HR, IT, Finance, and governance structures
Help the organisation define future-state HR processes, ownership, and delivery expectations
Navigate critical questions around data stewardship and fragmented process accountability
Translate HR culture, constraints, and intent into practical delivery pathways
Support program governance by shaping the insights and delivery signals elevated to leadership
Work alongside Business Analysts where deep process mapping or specialist capability is required
Bring clarity and delivery momentum without over-engineering
About You
You've likely supported or led HRIS transformations before and understand what it takes to deliver enterprise platforms successfully in complex organisations.
You bring:
Strong people-domain knowledge (ideally coming from a traditional HR background)
Confidence influencing senior stakeholders in ambiguity-heavy environments
A pragmatic, delivery-minded approach that balances structure with realism
Experience with enterprise HR platforms such as PageUp, TechnologyOne, or similar
The ability to get "sticky" with systems quickly and understand downstream impacts
Strong judgement around prioritisation, governance, and change readiness
Key Characteristics for Success
Business-side delivery leader with deep HR domain insight
Comfortable navigating competing priorities and delivery complexity
Able to translate HR intent into executable enterprise outcomes
Practical, structured, and outcomes-focused
Experienced in large-scale transformation and enterprise system environments
Why This Role?
This is a high-impact opportunity to shape a foundational HR technology uplift that will influence the organisation for years to come - working at the intersection of people, process, operating model, and enterprise delivery.
