Responsibilities

  • Process and validate high-risk lifecycle changes in Dayforce (hires, terminations, job/grade changes, location and entity changes, Smart Working/hybrid updates), ensuring accuracy and appropriate approvals.
  • Support People Ops and Payroll with Dayforce data audits and clean-up activities, including identifying and correcting data errors, duplicates, and inconsistencies.
  • Maintain, create, and run custom reports for multiple teams and departments, including HR, IT, Finance and Executives.
  • Partner with Total Rewards and Talent Development to launch and maintain the Performance and Compensation cycles.
  • Maintain and update organizational structures in Dayforce (departments, positions, reporting lines) in line with approved org changes.
  • Assist with configuration of Dayforce fields, workflows, and security roles based on clear requirements from the Director, People Operations and People Systems Architect.
  • Partner with Total Rewards and Payroll to support comp and benefits-related configuration or data changes (where appropriate and within guardrails).
  • Investigate and resolve Dayforce-related tickets and issues raised by People Ops, Payroll, and HRBPs, documenting root causes and fixes.
  • Run and validate Dayforce reports needed for audits, compliance, and Payroll/Total Rewards operations, working with Data/BI where necessary.
  • Support testing for configuration changes and integrations that touch Dayforce (e.g., Ashby → Dayforce, benefits/payroll feeds), following test plans and documenting results.
  • Document configuration changes, processes, and troubleshooting steps in a way that can be handed over smoothly to permanent team members.
  • Collaborate with the People Systems Architect on prioritising Dayforce work, highlighting risks, and suggesting simple process or config improvements where you see recurring issues.

Requirements

  • 3–5+ years of hands-on Dayforce (or similar enterprise HRIS) administration experience, ideally across multiple regions or entities.
  • Practical experience processing and validating core HR lifecycle events in Dayforce (hires, moves, comp changes, leaves, terminations, location/entity changes).
  • Strong attention to detail and comfort working directly with sensitive HR and payroll-impacting data.
  • Familiarity with HR data structures (employees, jobs/positions, departments, locations, employment types) and how they show up in reporting and downstream processes.
  • Experience running and troubleshooting HRIS reports; ability to spot data quality issues and work methodically through clean-up.
  • Experience creating custom imports via XML schemas in Excel and troubleshooting import logs.
  • Knowledge of Reporting and custom fields (SQL).
  • Experience in testing, implementing, and maintaining Performance, Compensation, and Hub.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift week to week, with the ability to manage tickets and tasks across multiple stakeholders.
  • Clear, concise communication skills; able to explain system behaviour and data issues in plain language to non-technical partners.
  • Strong sense of ownership and reliability—you follow through, flag risks early, and are comfortable stepping into an in-flight environment.

Nice to Have

  • Experience working with distributed teams and supporting both North America and EMEA time zones.
  • Experience working with Managed Payroll and ICPs.
  • Prior experience in a high-growth or SaaS environment.
