Senior SAP SuccessFactors EC Consultant (Home based)

Location: Role Summary We are looking for an experienced SAP SuccessFactors Consultant to join our UKI Consulting team. You will work across a diverse mix of local and international clients, delivering new implementations and enhancements while supporting existing clients with ongoing requirements.

Ideally, we are looking for a consultant with certification in Employee Central plus at least one additional module such as Time Management, Onboarding, Compensation, or Performance & Goals. We welcome candidates with alternative SuccessFactors certifications, provided they demonstrate a strong willingness to grow and expand their skills across other modules.

Deliver end‑user training and create high‑quality documentation. Prepare and deliver knowledge‑transfer sessions. Collaborate closely with other SuccessFactors specialists across the organisation. Communicate regularly with functional teams and customer stakeholders to ensure alignment. Contribute to a smooth transition of projects into support at project closure. Produce final handover documentation for clients and the Zalaris support team. Add value to our customer deliveries in a customer-centric fashion.
