Business Analyst HR/Payroll

We are seeking an experienced Business Analyst (HR/Payroll) for a four-month contract to gather business requirements, facilitate workshops, perform gap analysis and conduct solution analysis on an HR/Payroll transformation project.
You will partner with operational leaders and payroll specialists to build clarity and capability, ultimately delivering an evidence-based roadmap that identifies future options.
Key Responsibilities

• Structured Diagnostic: Conduct a comprehensive analysis of current processes, system capabilities, user experience, and governance frameworks.
• Gap Analysis: Identify root causes of system or process inefficiencies and provide actionable, evidence-based recommendations.
• Documentation: Reconstruct existing (and often fragmented) artefacts into validated, coherent documentation, including SIPOC diagrams, swimlanes, data flow maps, and workflow documentation.
• Strategic Advisory: Develop practical options for gap closure, covering process redesign, system configuration, workflow optimisation, and potential system replacement.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Conduct interviews, workshops, and surveys to validate findings and co-design solutions with staff and leadership.
• Reporting: Translate complex findings into clear, structured options papers and executive reports to support informed decision-making.

To be successful in this position you will be an experienced Business Analyst who has demonstrated experience determining business requirements, facilitating workshops, and performing gap analysis and solution assessment on HRIS, HR or payroll projects. Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills are a must. Prior experience working in the education sector would be nice to have.
