About Us
We're The HR Fixers — a specialist consultancy helping organisations bring their HR systems, processes and people together more effectively. SAP SuccessFactors is central to what we do, and it's an area we know in real depth: full implementation lifecycles, multiple modules, and the practical realities of delivering complex change. We work as trusted partners to our clients' HR, IT and Finance teams, combining technical expertise with a genuinely hands-on, delivery-focused approach. As a butique, specialist consultancy, we take on programmes where that depth of knowledge and the ability to move quickly - make a real difference.
The Role
This is the person who takes a newly won client and turns it into a properly structured programme.
You'll shape what the work actually needs to be, build the roadmap behind it, write the business case that justifies it, and then run the projects that deliver it. You'll lead the project team on the ground — HR Fixers consultants, client-side people and partners — setting the plan, allocating the work and holding the delivery standard. Line management of our people sits with us, so your focus stays on delivery.
This is a hands-on role. You'll be in the room building the plan with the client and the team, not commissioning one and reviewing it a fortnight later. That takes real subject knowledge: knowing what a SuccessFactors build actually involves, what the sequencing has to be, and where the dependencies bite — so you can put a credible plan together quickly and defend it on the spot.
We're a small consultancy, so there's no PMO behind you. You'll write the plan, chair the meeting and build the steerco pack yourself — with the autonomy that comes with it.
The Role at the Glance
Reporting to - Managing Director
Portfolio - One major client account, or two to three smaller accounts concurrentlyB - Leading project team consisting of our HR consultants, delivery partners and client resources
Accountable for - Programme plan, business case, roadmap, governance and delivery quality
Location - UK, with travel to client sites as the programme requires
What you will do
Shape:
- Take a newly won client and turn it into a structured programme — scope, sequencing, governance and resourcing
- Build the HR technology roadmap: what we do now, what comes next, and why
- Write and defend the business case — cost-benefit analysis, investment profile, benefits realisation
- Agree the operating model for the programme: who decides what, how change is handled, what gets escalated
Plan (Hands On)
- Build the plan in the room. Run the scoping and planning sessions yourself and come out with something credible and agreed, not an action to go away and draft one
- Bring the domain knowledge to make that possible — you know what an Employee Central or Compensation build actually takes, so you can size it, challenge an estimate on the spot and name the dependency nobody has flagged
- Own the detail: milestones, dependencies, critical path, resource profile and the data and integration touchpoints
- Re-plan quickly when reality moves, and be straight with the client about what it costs them
Deliver
- Run multiple projects in parallel, each with its own plan, budget and team
- Lead the project team day to day — set the plan, allocate the work, track delivery against it and clear the blockers
- Own the programme plan, budget, RAID and reporting, right up to steering committee
- Write the status reports and build the board packs yourself; there's no PMO to hand it to
- Hold the delivery standard: quality, retrospectives and better ways of working
Engage
- Be a senior client contact, trusted and straight-talking, across HR, IT and Finance
- Translate across the whole business — technical constraint into business language, and back again
- Work alongside our consultants as a peer: credible enough on the subject that they'll bring you the hard problems first
- Keep an eye on what's next, and help shape the following phase of work
What you will bring
- Strong programme and project management. Multiple projects running at once, each with its own plan, budget and team — not one project with a few workstreams
- A solid SAP SuccessFactors delivery background across multiple modules and full lifecycles, with live go-lives behind you
- Business case development — cost-benefit analysis and investment cases you've built and defended yourself
- Roadmap shaping — you can look 18–24 months out and sequence it credibly
- Hands-on and domain-credible. Enough depth in SuccessFactors delivery and HR transformation to build a plan live in a workshop, size the work and challenge an estimate as it's given
- Happy doing the work yourself — plans, packs, status reports — without a PMO behind you
- Experience leading project teams you don't line manage — consultants, client-side resource and third parties
- Consultancy or professional services experience; you know what it is to be the supplier in the room
- Confidence presenting to senior stakeholders and to a large room
- Seriously organised, with the attention to detail to match, and strong PowerPoint and Excel
- UK-based with the right to work without sponsorship, and happy to travel to client sites
Nice To Have
- Wider SAP experience: S/4HANA, Ariba or Concur
- PRINCE2, MSP, APM or Agile certification
- Experience in a small or scaling consultancy
