Fixed Term Contract (until 31 October 2019)

An opportunity has arisen within Human Resources for a highly committed, motivated and skilled HR Systems Project Officer during an exciting time for the University. Later this year the University will be implementing a new HR and Payroll information system, and this role will design, own, manage and deliver work packages as part of this HR Systems Improvement Programme.

The HR Systems Project Officer will make a significant contribution to this change, particularly as the implementation date is so close. The post is offered on a fixed term basis until October 2019.

Specialist areas for the role might include; acquiring knowledge in one or more areas of functionality within the project implementation, or taking responsibility for a project activity such as change management and user engagement, testing, system configuration, data cleansing, data analysis, UAT support or end user training. The role actively contributes to ensuring the progression of these activities through successful project management and to enabling all related projects to be implemented as planned.

You will be able to confidently and accurately handle/manipulate large quantities of data and work with other stakeholders to check data which are being migrated e.g. by comparing sets of data, analysing anomalies and agree solutions to ensure compatibility of data. You will ensure that all information held is legally compliant.

You will test the definition of new processes and the setup of background data, by working through defined test scenarios, writing and running test scripts, recording test outcomes, contributing to the resolution of issues. As well as supporting a range of stakeholders with work related to the project e.g. maintaining a log of issues raised by users and ensuring that responses are made, supporting staff when setting up data in preparation for use of the software and providing user support after the launch of functionality.

The successful candidates will have:

• Knowledge and understanding of the work practices, processes and procedures relevant to the role, which may include broader sector/commercial awareness within an HR Systems environment.
• Strong MS Excel and Or MS Access skills and the ability to manipulate and analyse data.
• Experience of delivering work packages with an understanding of the full project lifecycle, including the roles, responsibilities and route to delivery of a successful implementation project.
• Experience of consulting with a wide range of stakeholders, to deliver outcomes such as process analysis workshops and end user training.
