You'll ideally have:

• Strong knowledge of Workforce Management (WFM) systems, with Infor, Ubeya, or similar platforms being advantageous.
• Excellent Microsoft Excel and administrative skills.
• Strong numerical and analytical capabilities with exceptional attention to detail.
• Knowledge of workforce compliance, payroll processes, and working time regulations.
• The confidence to influence and build relationships with managers and stakeholders at all levels.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement.
