About the role
About the opportunity
The Business Systems Analyst – People Platforms is the technical partner for Tassal’s people and workforce systems. The role works closely with People & Culture (P&C), Payroll, site teams and Digital & Data to modernise processes, select the right technology, and deliver secure, scalable and well-governed solutions.
Purpose of the role
The role begins with a strong focus on Dayforce and progressively broadens across the People & Workforce technology landscape as the improvement backlog matures. It balances platform stability and support with continuous improvement, automation, integration and data quality.
Key Responsibilities
Process modernisation
Partner with P&C, Payroll and site teams to identify process root causes, design practical improvements and build business cases demonstrating administrative time savings, reduced risk and improved data quality.
Co-own the People & Workforce backlog with the HCM Systems Manager, prioritising the retirement of manual, duplicated or legacy processes and ensuring a clear, consistent employee and manager experience.
Right-tool solution design
Assess requests against existing tools—including Dayforce, Microsoft Power Platform, Monday.com, Snowflake, Power BI, Boomi and AI agents—and recommend the simplest sustainable solution, explaining cost, licensing, support, scalability, risk and Digital & Data architecture trade-offs.
Translate business requirements into clear functional and technical specifications, configuration over unnecessary custom development and avoiding new spreadsheets, email-based workflows or other shadow systems.
Build, release and controls
Configure and maintain Dayforce workflows, forms, business rules, security roles and reporting; manage technical escalations with Dayforce and implementation partners while building internal capability and reducing external reliance.
Manage environments, testing and release schedules for vendor and internal changes, controlling production configuration access and maintaining change controls, audit trails and technical documentation so changes are assessed, approved, tested, communicated and reviewed after implementation.
Integration and data
Own and support people-data integrations—including Entra ID–Dayforce synchronisation, finance and ERP feeds, Boomi flows and Snowflake feeds—and build reporting and analytics foundations with the Data & Analytics team within agreed payroll and people-data governance.
Maintain a clean, consistent employee master across Dayforce, Entra ID and downstream applications, partnering with P&C as the business data owner to address legacy gaps in Chris21 employee history and residual Taleo data.
Automation and AI
Automate approvals, notifications and hand-offs currently reliant on email, spreadsheets or manual follow-up, and develop AI-assisted case triage and self-service solutions for common P&C enquiries.
Lead the technical build of advanced scheduling and workforce forecasting for shift-based operations and safely implement agentic AI opportunities across people workflows with appropriate governance, privacy and human oversight.
Essential skills and experience
At least 3 years’ experience configuring a cloud HCM platform. Dayforce experience is preferred; Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or UKG experience will also be considered.
Working knowledge of payroll, time and attendance, and rostering in a shift-based, hourly workforce, including how awards and enterprise agreements translate into system rules.
Integration and data capability, including an understanding of APIs, SQL or reporting, and identity management.
Experience with low-code automation such as Microsoft Power Automate, Power Apps or similar tools and in release management, testing and change control within a production environment.
Process mapping, root-cause analysis and Lean or comparable continuous-improvement methods.
Ability to explain technical options and trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Desirable
Dayforce certification or any related HCM certification
Experience with Snowflake and Power BI.
Hands-on experience using AI tools or agents to automate workflows.
Experience in manufacturing, primary industries or another multi-site operating environment.
