Contract Opportunity: Business Solutions Lead – HR Technology (Full-time, 24 months)

Are you passionate about transforming people's experience and interaction with HR systems and services?  Do you thrive in transformation programmes where tech, people, and strategy meet?

This role is at the heart of a transformation programme, where your expertise will shape the design and delivery of a single HR platform that goes far beyond booking holidays or viewing payslips- it’s a gateway to career development, people analytics, and smarter decision-making.

Your work will directly support a modern, data-informed culture that puts people first.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead the end-to-end design and delivery of a new HR technology solution that enhances colleague experience through automation, mobile access, and intuitive self-service.
  • Ensure the solution aligns with best practice HR processes, organisational strategy, and technical architecture.
  • Collaborate across People, IS, and external partners to deliver a sustainable, future-ready platform.
  • Support testing, implementation, and change management to ensure successful adoption and long-term impact.
  • Provide insight and data analytics to empower decision-making and improve service delivery.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Proven experience delivering SaaS-based HR technology solutions in a medium to large organisation.
  • Strong understanding of HR processes, data structures, and service delivery models.
  • Ability to translate business needs into technical requirements and vice versa.
  • Experience working in cross-functional, matrixed project environments.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the confidence to influence at senior levels.

Why Join Us?

Our People Team is driving a bold shift toward a more empowered, data-led colleague experience, committed to ensuring colleagues at every level are equipped with the knowledge, support, and tools they need to thrive.

This role sits at the heart of this vision: delivering a single source of truth for HR data that simplifies career development, enhances decision-making through analytics, and puts intuitive self-service in everyone’s hands.

Whether you’re already in higher education or looking to bring your expertise into a sector that values community, learning, and innovation—this is your chance to lead meaningful digital change.

Join us in shaping a digital future that puts people first.
