Senior HRIS Specilaist -UKG Ready

We are looking to attract experienced Senior HRIS Specialists based in the Reading, UK who bring not only strong implementation knowledge, but also hands\-on experience with the UKG Ready system. This is an ideal opportunity for an HRIS professional who thrives in a hands\-on environment and wants to take ownership of UKG Ready configuration in a global organization.

This is a highly hands\-on role. The successful candidate will be directly responsible for:

Performing system configuration and administration within UKG Ready
Developing and maintaining standard operating procedures (SOPs) related to system configurations
Presenting system changes and updates to managers and stakeholders
Collaborating with cross\-functional teams, including those with limited system knowledge, to ensure effective adoption and usage
Acting as a bridge between business users and technical teams, ensuring the system is set up to meet operational needs

This individual will work in close partnership with a dedicated technical resource based in Pune, who provides technical support for the UKG Ready platform. While that role focuses on technical backend support, this position will primarily focus on:

Supporting line\-of\-business stakeholders onsite
Working with external UKG support teams
Driving execution of system\-related initiatives within the business
