Project Manager – Payroll Implementation (12-Month Contract)
Location: Flexible / Hybrid
Contract: 12 Months

We’re on the lookout for an experienced Project Manager to lead a major Payroll system implementation with integration to a cloud-based HRIS (Oracle HCM). This is a high-impact role in a large transformation program.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading the end-to-end implementation of a new Payroll system, integrated with a cloud-based HR platform.

  • Managing project timelines, risks (RAID), and ensuring smooth delivery with strong governance practices.

  • Working closely with both internal teams and external partners to align technical work with business goals.

  • Running planning sessions, managing dependencies, and keeping things moving without the need for micromanagement.

  • Acting as the key point of contact for stakeholders across HR, IT, and payroll functions.

What you’ll bring:

  • Solid experience in Payroll system implementation – not just integrating HR systems into payroll, but actually implementing payroll platforms.

  • Experience with Oracle Cloud HCM or similar HRIS platforms.

  • Excellent project planning and governance skills.

  • Strong stakeholder engagement and communication abilities.

  • A proactive, self-driven attitude – someone who can take ownership and deliver.

  • A collaborative mindset – you’re a team player who can lead, listen, and work well with others.

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with other cloud-based HR systems like Workday or ADP.

  • Previous experience in large HR or payroll transformations.
