About the Company
Our client is delivering a business-wide Workday HCM transformation and is building a small, dedicated project team to design core HR and recruitment processes from the ground up.
About the Role
As HCM Specialist, you'll lead design thinking for Core HCM and Recruitment, working closely with the program lead and a Rem and Benefits specialist. You'll join a small, hands-on project team and play a central role in shaping how Workday translates into everyday business process, with no existing playbook to work from.
Perks
Genuine influence over a from-scratch build, shaping HR process design rather than optimising something that already exists
Broad scope to grow the role over time, with potential to extend into talent acquisition, learning and succession
Hybrid working arrangement, currently three days in the Sydney CBD office
A tight-knit, hands-on project team where your input will directly shape outcomes
Duties / Key Responsibilities
Lead design thinking for Core HCM and Recruitment, working alongside the program lead, with Core prioritised given its downstream impact
Define how out-of-the-box Workday processes will operate in practice, covering requisitions, budget access, position management and job architecture
Help build a pay and grading structure from scratch, partnering with a Rem and Benefits specialist




Translate system functionality into workable business process for an organisation without established HR processes to build from
Support the broader program as needed, with the role potentially extending into talent acquisition, learning and succession over time
Skills and Experience
Genuine HCM subject matter expertise, ideally including Workday, across Core and Recruitment
Background in HR or Payroll before moving into transformation or project work
Comfortable working without an established playbook, building processes from scratch rather than optimising existing ones
Financial services or private equity exposure is a bonus, not essential
Available to start quickly, ideally in time for discovery commencing 31 August ****
