Harnham is seeking an experienced HiBob Implementation Specialist to support the delivery of a business-critical HR transformation project.
After more than a decade on our current platform, we are implementing HiBob across our international business and are looking for a proven HiBob expert to help us maximise the value of the system from day one.
This role will combine HR systems expertise, business process design, data migration support and project management , acting as the key link between Harnham stakeholders and HiBob's implementation team.
The Role
You will work closely with our People, Payroll and Operations teams to ensure that HiBob is configured in line with best practice and supports efficient, scalable business processes.

- Supporting user acceptance testing and go-live readiness activities
- Advising on change management, adoption and ongoing system administration
Scope
The implementation will include:
- Core HR
- Payroll
- Benefits Administration
Across:
- United Kingdom
- United States
- Netherlands
We anticipate a higher level of involvement during project mobilisation and design phases, with the role becoming more focused on coordination, governance and stakeholder management as implementation progresses.

We're particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:
