We’re partnering with a well-known multinational FMCG organisation that is looking to appoint an experienced Kronos Functional Consultant to support the configuration, optimisation, and integration of their UKG Pro Workforce Management (Kronos) system.

This role also offers the chance to broaden your systems knowledge, with the opportunity to work across additional platforms such as iChris and SuccessFactors. While prior experience with these is beneficial, a willingness to learn and support them is essential.

• Deliver user training, technical documentation, and troubleshooting support

• Monitor legislative and compliance changes, ensuring the system remains up-to-date

• Partner with audit teams to review security, access, and payroll controls

• Provide expert advice to internal stakeholders on functional requirements and process improvement

• Collaborate with the broader team to support and learn other systems such as iChris and SuccessFactors

What You Will Bring

• 10+ years’ experience in payroll systems, workforce management, or HRIS support

• Strong hands-on experience with UKG Pro Workforce Management / Kronos (essential)

• Exposure to iChris or SuccessFactors highly regarded

• Interest and willingness to learn and support additional HR/payroll platforms

• Experience supporting enterprise-scale payroll operations and high-volume environments

• Solid knowledge of payroll compliance and reporting requirements in Australia

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and stakeholder engagement skills

• Ability to manage competing priorities and effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams

What’s In It For You

• 12-month fixed term contract with potential to extend or go permanent

• Hybrid working model (2–3 days onsite in inner-east Melbourne)

• Highly regarded FMCG brand with long-term transformation goals

• Supportive leadership and visibility across IT and payroll

• Opportunity to drive meaningful systems improvement and expand your HR tech skill set

If you're a Kronos/UKG specialist ready to take ownership of critical workforce systems, while also growing your expertise across other platforms like iChris and SuccessFactors, we’d love to hear from you.
