Dayforce Configuration Specialist

About the Role

I'm currently supporting a client who has just completed a large-scale Dayforce implementation and is now looking for experienced Dayforce Product Specialists to support the post-go-live stabilisation and optimisation phase. This is a 12-month contract, fully remote, paying £450 per day (outside IR35).

What they're looking for:

  • Strong hands-on Dayforce (Ceridian) experience - this is not a PM/Programme role, they need true system specialists
  • Proven track record of configuring Dayforce across modules (HR, Payroll, WFM, Benefits, Reporting)
  • Experience building reports and working within Dayforce reporting tools
  • Comfortable working in a live, integrated environment, managing end-to-end configuration changes
  • Strong understanding of HRIS, Payroll, and Workforce Management processes
  • Experience working across integrations (Finance, Benefits, etc.)
  • Ability to support defect resolution, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement
  • Familiar with change governance, testing, and release processes
  • Experience in post-implementation or stabilisation programmes
  • Knowledge of UK payroll legislation is highly desirable

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
