Lead the HR and Payroll workstream of a major Oracle Fusion transformation

This is an opportunity to play a key role in delivering a major Oracle Fusion ERP transformation within a complex, security-conscious public sector organisation.

As the Oracle Fusion HR & Payroll Lead, you'll provide functional leadership across the HR and Payroll workstream, ensuring Oracle Fusion HCM is designed and implemented to support organisational objectives while delivering a modern, efficient and user-focused HR and Payroll service.

Rather than simply implementing technology, you'll help shape future business processes, challenge legacy ways of working and ensure the organisation fully realises the benefits of its Oracle Fusion investment.

The opportunity

Working alongside programme leadership, HR stakeholders and implementation partners, you'll lead the end-to-end design and implementation of Oracle Fusion HCM and Payroll.

You'll facilitate design workshops, guide functional decisions, support configuration, oversee testing and contribute to business readiness, training and successful adoption across the organisation.

Working within a complex and highly regulated environment, you'll ensure the solution balances organisational requirements with Oracle best practice, championing an "adopt before adapt" approach wherever possible.

Success in this role will depend on your ability to translate business needs into practical Oracle solutions while building confidence across both technical and business teams.

The person

We're looking for someone with deep Oracle Fusion HCM and Payroll expertise who enjoys solving complex business challenges as much as delivering technology.

You'll have successfully led multiple Oracle Fusion HCM implementations and be comfortable engaging with senior HR leaders, implementation partners and programme teams throughout the full project lifecycle.

You'll understand how to improve HR and Payroll processes through technology while ensuring users are supported through organisational change.

Experience gained within the public sector or another highly regulated environment would be advantageous.

Experience

We're particularly interested in hearing from candidates who can demonstrate experience of:

• Leading multiple Oracle Fusion HCM and Payroll implementations.
• Oracle Fusion HCM and Payroll functional design.
• Business process mapping and HR transformation.
• Working with implementation partners and system integrators.
• Leading design workshops, testing and business readiness.
• Supporting organisational change and user adoption.
• Public sector or other highly regulated environments.

Given the nature of the organisation and the work involved, you'll either hold, or be willing and able to obtain, the appropriate security vetting required for the assignment.

Why apply?

This is an opportunity to shape one of the most visible workstreams within a major Oracle Fusion transformation programme, helping deliver a modern HR and Payroll platform that will support the organisation for years to come.

If you're looking for a role where you can combine Oracle expertise with business transformation, stakeholder engagement and strategic influence, we'd love to hear from you.
