• Act as a trusted advisor and key point of contact for clients and vendors throughout the project lifecycle
• Build strong client relationships and confidently manage stakeholders at different levels
• Support training, user adoption, and change activity to help ensure successful project outcomes
• Identify opportunities to add value and extend support in line with client needs
• Contribute to Silver Cloud’s continuous improvement culture by refining delivery approaches, tools, and ways of working
• Support brand-building activity through webinars, case studies, and industry participation

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience in a consultancy, advisory, implementation partner, or strongly client-facing HRIS / HR tech / payroll project role
• Experience working directly with external clients, leading conversations, building relationships, and guiding decision-making
• Strong background in HR and/or payroll, with a good understanding of processes, operational challenges, and compliance considerations
• Demonstrable experience delivering HRIS / HR tech / payroll systems projects, ideally across platforms such as Dayforce, HiBob, Workday, SuccessFactors, Cezanne, Cascade, iTrent or similar
• Proven ability to manage multiple client projects or workstreams at the same time
• Strong experience gathering business requirements, facilitating workshops, and translating needs into practical solutions
• Solid project delivery skills, including planning, governance, RAID management, and stakeholder reporting
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to adapt your style to different audiences and build credibility quickly
• Commercial awareness and a proactive, solutions-focused mindset
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative consulting environment with high standards and multiple priorities
• High attention to detail, strong organisational discipline, and a commitment to follow-through
