Deliver transformative HR & Payroll solutions. Shape customer success. Advance your consultancy career.

We're looking for a driven and customer-focused Implementation Consultant to join Zellis, the UK's leading provider of HR, Payroll and People Experience solutions.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced consultant, implementation specialist or payroll/HCM professional who enjoys working closely with customers to deliver successful projects, solve complex challenges and make a tangible impact. You'll partner with organisations of all sizes to help them implement, configure and optimise our market-leading solutions, ensuring exceptional outcomes throughout the customer journey.

Reporting to a Managing Implementation Consultant, you'll play a key role in delivering high-quality implementation projects, providing expert guidance to customers and helping them realise the full value of their investment in Zellis solutions. No two projects are the same, giving you the opportunity to continually develop your expertise, build trusted relationships and broaden your consulting experience.

What you'll be doing

  • Act as a trusted advisor and subject matter expert, guiding customers through implementation and adoption of Zellis solutions.
  • Build strong customer relationships and promote a collaborative "One Team" approach to delivery.
  • Support customers in understanding industry best practice processes and operational design.

Project Implementation

  • Plan, schedule and coordinate implementation tasks across multiple customer projects.
  • Produce, review and deliver implementation documentation, configuration and project deliverables.
  • Collaborate with project managers, consultants and customer stakeholders to achieve key milestones.

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.
