Techspire Consulting is growing its UK team and is looking for an experienced HCM and Payroll Test Lead who can also take ownership of Payroll Parallel Run activity.

The role covers two key areas. You will lead UAT across the HCM and EPM landscape before taking responsibility for Payroll Parallel Run cycles and the reconciliation of legacy and new payroll outputs.

  • Leading UAT across Core HR, Absence, Payroll, OTL, Recruitment, Talent, Learning and EPM/WFP
  • Managing test planning, execution, defects, retesting and sign-off
  • Coordinating business testers, functional consultants and technical teams
  • Ensuring end-to-end employee and payroll processes are fully tested
  • Reporting clearly on readiness, risks and unresolved issues

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.
