This role is best suited to someone who combines strong HR and/or payroll systems knowledge with proven experience in a consultancy, advisory, or highly client-facing project environment.
If you enjoy variety, autonomy, and working across multiple clients and projects, this is a great opportunity to join a supportive, high-performing consultancy where you can make a visible impact.

• 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
Particularly relevant backgrounds might include
