About Us:
We’re a growing consultancy specialising in payroll, workforce management, and HCM solutions. Our team brings deep industry expertise and hands-on experience supporting some of the largest employers and software vendors across New Zealand and Australia.
We work with organisations nationwide to simplify payroll, stay compliant, improve workforce processes, and turn people data into meaningful business insights. Passionate about what we do and focused on delivering real results, we pride ourselves on providing practical, people-focused solutions that make a genuine difference.
About the role:
We’re currently seeking a Payroll and Workforce Management Consultant to join our Dayforce Practice. In this role, you’ll be responsible for implementing Dayforce solutions with a strong focus on New Zealand payroll compliance, time and attendance, and workforce management functionality across a range of industries. You’ll work directly with clients to understand their needs, configure the system, and deliver practical solutions that improve their payroll and workforce operations.
When you’re not leading implementation or providing client support, you’ll contribute to the success of the wider team whether that’s assisting with configuration testing, supporting BAU activities, collaborating on value-add initiatives, or creating clear and engaging process and training documentation. This is a dynamic role for someone who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and making an impact.

- Translate complex legislation, company policies, and employment agreements into accurate system configurations
- Conduct detailed testing activities including unit, scenario, and parallel run testing to ensure successful deployment
- Analyse, cleanse, and validate complex data sets to support smooth data migration and system accuracy
- Assist clients with data extraction and cleansing to prepare for system implementation or transition
- Document configurations, user procedures, resolutions, and client-specific processes using tools like Word, Jira, and Confluence
- Collaborate with technical consultants and vendor support teams to troubleshoot and resolve system issues
- Set clear expectations and proactively communicate status updates, risks, and impacts to both internal and external stakeholders
Skills and Experience:
- Minimum 2 years proven experience with implementing & supporting Dayforce, particularly across payroll and workforce management modules
- Confident leading client-facing design workshops, facilitating discovery sessions, and translating business needs into system requirements
- Skilled in documenting functional and technical requirements, writing clear specification documents, and supporting configuration delivery
- Strong problem-solving mindset with a focus on delivering practical, scalable solutions
- Excellent communication skills—both written and verbal—with the ability to engage confidently with stakeholders from frontline users to executive sponsors
- Organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities while delivering high-quality outcomes
- Self-motivated and proactive, with the ability to work autonomously and collaboratively in a consulting team environment
- Comfortable working in fast-moving projects, with the flexibility to adapt to shifting timelines and evolving client needs
- Technically capable and quick to learn new systems and processes
- Proficient in the Microsoft Office suite, especially Word and Excel, with experience producing documentation, analysing data, and supporting change
- Experience with multiple payroll or workforce management systems is a plus
- New Zealand payroll or compliance experience is beneficial but not required
