Project overview

Technology Programme Manager - SAP SuccessFactors EC & ECP (HR ERP)

Central London (hybrid, 3 days a week on site) | 18-month contract | Inside IR35 | £1000 per day

A major UK organisation is part way through a large-scale ERP transformation, replacing old, fragmented systems with SAP SuccessFactors. Our client is looking for a senior Programme Manager to lead all technology delivery on the HR side of the programme.

The scope covers SuccessFactors Employee Central and Employee Central Payroll across Core HR, Payroll, Onboarding, Compensation & Variable Pay, and an integrated document management system.

Why this one is different

This is one of the most complex HR and payroll environments in the UK:

Payroll accuracy is mission-critical. You'll be responsible for making sure every release is safe and fully assured.

• A very large workforce, including a significant casual population
• A majority of staff on weekly pay
• Thousands of pay elements
• Weekly retro recalculation for each employee, paying on contracted hours and then adjusting
• Multiple recognised unions, each with its own terms and conditions
