Dayforce Project Manager | HCM Implementation

The Role

As a Dayforce Project Manager, you will directly impact the successful delivery of HCM and Dayforce implementation programmes.

You will own:

• Project Delivery:
  Lead customer-facing HCM and Dayforce implementation projects from planning through to delivery.
• Governance & Control:
  Own project plans, RAID logs, milestones, risks, issues, dependencies and stakeholder communication.
• Stakeholder Management:
  Work confidently with senior HR, Payroll, Operations and C-suite stakeholders to keep decisions moving and expectations aligned.
• Consultative Delivery:
  Guide customers through implementation decisions, trade-offs and risks rather than simply taking instructions.
• PMO Development:
  Support the growth of a repeatable delivery framework as the consultancy scales its PMO capability.
• Team Coordination:
  Coordinate consultants and subject matter experts across HCM, HRIS, WFM and Payroll work streams without needing to be the technical expert in every detail.

• Strong Project Management experience across HCM, HRIS, Payroll, WFM or SaaS implementation projects.
• Proven track record delivering customer-facing implementation projects within a consultancy, systems integrator or similar environment.
• Experience managing project governance, plans, RAID logs, dependencies, risks, issues and senior stakeholder communication.
• Strong ability to communicate confidently with C-suite and senior customer stakeholders.
• A consultative approach, with the confidence to guide customers through decisions and flag risks early.
• Operational empathy and an understanding of the real-world impact HCM, WFM and Payroll systems have on employees, managers and customers.
• The ability to delegate effectively, coordinate specialists and stay focused on programme-level delivery rather than getting pulled too far into technical configuration detail.
• Dayforce experience is highly desirable, but strong HCM implementation experience is essential.

  Remote, with travel to client sites as required
• Contract Type:
