We are looking to attract experienced Senior HRIS Specialists based in the Reading, UK who bring not only strong implementation knowledge, but also hands-on experience with the UKG Ready system. This is an ideal opportunity for an HRIS professional who thrives in a hands-on environment and wants to take ownership of UKG Ready configuration in a global organization.
This is a highly hands-on role. The successful candidate will be directly responsible for:
-
Performing system configuration and administration within UKG Ready
-
Developing and maintaining standard operating procedures (SOPs) related to system configurations
-
Presenting system changes and updates to managers and stakeholders
-
Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including those with limited system knowledge, to ensure effective adoption and usage
-
Acting as a bridge between business users and technical teams, ensuring the system is set up to meet operational needs
This individual will work in close partnership with a dedicated technical resource based in Pune, who provides technical support for the UKG Ready platform. While that role focuses on technical backend support, this position will primarily focus on:
-
Supporting line-of-business stakeholders onsite
-
Working with external UKG support teams
-
Driving execution of system-related initiatives within the business
We want to clearly communicate to candidates that this is not a purely strategic or advisory role, it requires someone who is comfortable working directly within the system, configuring workflows, and supporting day-to-day operations.
