Overview:
A leading infrastructure organisation is seeking an experienced HRIS Manager to lead the delivery of its first enterprise-level Human Resources Information System. This role will act as the bridge between HR, IT, PMO, Finance, and third-party vendors to ensure successful implementation and long-term optimisation of the platform.

The HRIS Manager will oversee the full system lifecycle—from planning and configuration through to post-implementation support—with a focus on business alignment, system scalability, and end-user experience.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the end-to-end implementation of a new HRIS, ensuring alignment with organisational objectives, deadlines, and stakeholder requirements.

  • Translate operational HR needs into functional system design and support configuration, testing, deployment, and integration processes.

  • Manage vendor relationships, including product evaluations, demonstrations, and contract discussions.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally to gather requirements, map processes, and ensure data integration with existing platforms.

  • Develop and implement training, knowledge-sharing, and change management strategies to drive adoption.

  • Ensure system performance and data governance standards are met post-launch, including user access management and regulatory compliance.

  • Manage and mentor HRIS/reporting team members.

  • Promote continuous improvement by soliciting feedback, identifying opportunities for enhancement, and delivering process automation where possible.

  • Lead data migration and validation initiatives, ensuring the secure and accurate transition from legacy systems.

  • Document lessons learned and contribute to future HR technology planning.

Experience & Skills:

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in HRIS, talent management, or learning systems, with demonstrated involvement in implementation and system administration.

  • Deep understanding of HR operations, compliance, and core people processes.

  • Experience in full-cycle HRIS projects, including vendor selection, rollout, and post-implementation support.

  • Strong knowledge of platforms such as Workday, SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, or equivalent.

  • Expertise in stakeholder engagement, change management, and cross-functional collaboration.

  • Proven ability to manage confidential data and deliver user-friendly, scalable solutions.

  • Project management certification (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, Agile) is an advantage.

Technical & Soft Skills:

  • Strong analytical, documentation, and system configuration skills.

  • Ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to handle competing priorities in a dynamic environment.

  • Proactive mindset with a problem-solving approach and systems thinking.

  • Strong communication, coaching, and influencing skills across all levels.

Education:

  • Bachelor's degree in HR, IT, Business Administration, or related discipline.

  • A Master's degree or further certification in HR technology, data analytics, or project management is a plus.
