An organisation undergoing a major HR systems transformation is seeking an experienced HRIS Analyst to support the stabilisation and optimisation of a recently implemented Oracle Fusion HCM platform.

Working within a small HRIS team, you will play a key role in maintaining operational continuity, improving data quality, and ensuring accurate reporting during a critical post-go-live phase. This is a hands-on role combining systems support, data management, and management information (MI) reporting.

• Manage transactional HRIS activity, ensuring timely and accurate resolution
• Perform system updates, data corrections, and routine maintenance within Oracle Fusion HCM
• Support creation and maintenance of work structures, schedules, and system configurations
• Identify recurring issues and contribute to process improvements and knowledge base articles
• Escalate complex system issues where required

Data Quality & System Improvement

• Support data cleansing, validation, and standardisation activities
• Monitor data integrity and investigate inconsistencies across HR systems
• Assist with system testing (UAT), patches, fixes, and enhancements within Oracle
• Maintain system documentation and user guidance

Management Information & Reporting

• Manage and deliver BAU HR reporting outputs
• Run, validate, and reconcile workforce and organisational reports
• Ensure accuracy and consistency of reporting outputs during system stabilisation
• Investigate data discrepancies and identify root causes
• Support external/statutory reporting requirements
• Work closely with stakeholders to clarify reporting needs

Data Analysis & Tools

Use Excel extensively for:

• Data validation and reconciliation

• Pivot tables, lookups (XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP), and large dataset handling

Skills & Experience

Essential

• Strong experience working with HR systems and data-driven environments
• Proven experience supporting or using Oracle Fusion HCM (or similar HRIS platforms)
• Advanced Excel skills (data validation, reconciliation, pivot tables, lookups)
• Experience managing and prioritising high-volume transactional workloads
• Strong attention to detail and data accuracy
• Ability to troubleshoot system and data issues effectively
• Experience working with helpdesk or ticketing systems (eg ServiceNow)
• Strong communication skills, particularly in handling system queries and explaining data issues

Desirable

• Experience in HRIS, HR operations, or HR reporting functions
• Exposure to reporting validation rather than development
• Experience supporting UAT, system changes, or data migration activities
• Knowledge of data governance and data quality principles
• Experience in higher education, public sector, or regulated environments
• Familiarity with external/statutory reporting requirements

About the Role

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of systems, data, and operations, and who thrives in a fast-paced environment where they can add value quickly.

You will contribute directly to improving system stability, enhancing data quality, and building confidence in HR reporting following a major Oracle implementation.
