About the role

We’re looking for an experienced HRIS Implementation Specialist to join the Healix People Team and play a key role in the implementation of Dayforce across the organisation.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role supporting the rollout of a new global HR system. You’ll work closely with our People Systems, Benefits and Reward Specialist (the system owner and subject matter expert), the IT Project Manager, and external implementation partners to ensure the system is configured, tested and embedded successfully.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building, testing and implementing HR systems and supporting users through change — rather than owning long-term system strategy or reward design.

Experience supporting global or multi-country HR processes
Exposure to payroll or benefits modules within an HRIS

There are no specific qualifications required for this role — relevant experience is what matters most.

About The Role

What you’ll be doingHRIS implementation (Dayforce focus)

Provide hands-on support across the full Dayforce implementation lifecycle, including configuration, data migration, testing and deployment. Support system setup in line with global and local requirements, and assist with data preparation, validation and reconciliation.

Play an active role in UAT by creating and executing test scripts, logging and supporting defect resolution, and validating fixes. Support integration testing with payroll, benefits and other downstream systems. Work closely with external implementation partners, tracking progress and escalating issues as needed.

Develop and maintain system documentation, including process guides, configuration summaries and user “how-to” materials. Support system cutover, post-go-live stabilisation, and act as a point of contact for Dayforce-related queries during implementation and early adoption.

Data integrity, compliance and collaboration

Support HR data accuracy throughout migration and implementation, ensuring alignment with GDPR, data protection and Healix security standards, including ISO27001.

Work closely with People Systems, IT, regional HR teams and external consultants. Liaise with regional stakeholders to capture local requirements and support adoption, and contribute to project meetings, status updates and implementation planning.

Experience supporting global or multi-country HR systems, including understanding local process variations.
Exposure to payroll and/or benefits modules within an HRIS.
