HRIS Project Manager - Belfast - 12 month contract
Our client, a leading multi-site organisation, is seeking an experienced HR Project Manager to take ownership of the final stages of a recently implemented HRIS and drive successful adoption across the business.
The system is now live, and the focus of this role is to roll out remaining modules, embed usage across the organisation, and ensure managers and employees are fully confident using the platform for reporting, performance management, and core HR processes.
This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in system optimisation, change adoption, and training delivery, ensuring technology translates into real business value.
The Role
You will lead the rollout and adoption of key HRIS modules, including performance management, reporting, and additional system functionality, ensuring the platform is fully embedded across all sites.

* Support managers in using reporting dashboards and analytics for workforce insights
* Act as the key liaison between HR, IT, and system vendors to resolve issues and optimise functionality
* Monitor system usage and identify opportunities to improve engagement and efficiency
* Ensure GDPR compliance and data integrity across all HRIS processes
* Provide ongoing post-implementation support and continuous improvement input
About You
* Proven experience in HRIS system implementation or post-go-live rollout
* Strong background in training delivery and user adoption/change management
* Confident working with HR systems
* Strong understanding of HR processes, particularly performance management and reporting
* Ability to translate technical system features into simple, practical user guidance
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across all levels
* Experience working in multi-site or complex organisational environments
