HR Operations Manager - Transformation, Systems, Process

Chambers Talent • Wellingborough • 1d ago

Are you a bit of a process nut? Do you find yourself asking “why?” when a process creates another painpoint, rather than driving improved user or employee experience? Do you thrive when given ownership of major projects and improvement initiatives? If you’ve just answered yes three times and have worked in HR Ops, then we need to hear from you.

HR Operations Manager – Transformation, Systems, Process

Northamptonshire – Hybrid

18 Month FTC

£65,000-£75,000

Following the appointment of a new HR Director in late 2025, this FCA regulated business is looking to revamp its HR Operations provision. You will lead a small team and be the expert in redefining what good HR operations looks like. You’ll be asked to take a total view on ways working, process, employee experience and systems, and build a vision for what a future proofed function looks like.

It is expected that there will be systems changes, likely a new HRIS implementation – you will steer this tender process and own the project management. With existing systems in place; LMS, ATS, payroll etc., you will need to work closely with centres of excellence to identify best case outcomes, collaboration on systems unification, training and deployment. Of course, as the function that owns people data, compliance and insights, you will pay particular attention to data controls and insights, governance and regulatory compliance requirements.

Who are we looking for?

You may be a Senior HR Operations specialist, or a more generalist HR or HR projects professional with expertise in systems and overall HR Operations workflows and have experience of delivering full or part HRIS implementation. You should excel in being project owner and, while being strong in the technical aspects of systems and process development, you should be a competent business partner and influencer.
