Transformation Project Manager (HRIS) – Home Based
12-month FTC (strong likelihood of extension)
£60,000 – £65,000
We’re supporting a national organisation in the search for an experienced Transformation Project Manager to lead a major HR and payroll systems transformation.
This is a high-impact role for someone who can combine strong project management discipline with hands-on HRIS implementation experience. The organisation is looking for an individual who can take ownership of the full project lifecycle, help mobilise the programme, and drive it through to delivery.
With a key focus on people, processes, and adoption, this is a business-led transformation, and this role is a critical part of the programme.
The Role
You’ll lead the delivery of an HRIS project with a focus on HR and payroll, with potential additional scope across related workforce systems.
You’ll be expected to operate from early-stage discovery through to implementation, working across business stakeholders, SMEs, suppliers, and governance forums to ensure the project is structured, controlled, and successfully delivered.

What We’re Looking For

- Strong project management fundamentals, including governance, delivery planning, risk and issue management, and controls
- Experience working across the full lifecycle, including requirements, procurement/RFP, vendor selection, implementation, and rollout
