Rostering Systems Team Lead

Rostering Systems Team Leader

Are you an experienced rostering or workforce systems specialist ready to take the next step into leadership?

We're looking for a hands-on Rostering Systems Team Leader to lead a small team and take ownership of the systems that support rostering, workforce management and payroll.

This is a great opportunity for someone who understands how rostering systems work behind the scenes and enjoys improving processes, solving problems and supporting others.

What you'll be doing

• Lead, support and develop a small team of Rostering Systems Administrators
• Oversee the configuration, maintenance and improvement of rostering systems
• Coordinate system changes linked to awards, enterprise agreements and legislative requirements
• Develop test plans and guide the team through system testing
• Manage system upgrades, integrations, enhancements and change controls
• Make sure rostering data is accurate and flows correctly into payroll
• Work closely with Payroll, HR, Employee Relations, Finance, IT and operational teams
• Manage competing priorities and keep stakeholders updated
• Partner with software vendors to resolve issues and improve system performance
• Improve system documentation, user guides and training materials
• Identify opportunities to simplify processes and introduce automation

What we're looking for

• Experience supporting or managing a rostering, workforce management or time and attendance system
• Exposure to platforms such as RosterOn, Optima, UKG, Kronos, Humanforce, Dayforce or a similar system
• A good understanding of how rostering and time data connects with payroll
• Experience interpreting awards, enterprise agreements or other industrial requirements
• Confidence managing system changes, testing and upgrades
• Strong problem-solving skills and a focus on data accuracy
• The ability to work with a wide range of technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Previous leadership, mentoring or team coordination experience
• Strong Excel and reporting skills

Formal qualifications in payroll, HR systems or IT would be useful, but practical experience is more important.

Why consider it?

You'll join a complex organisation where rostering systems play a critical role in paying people correctly. You'll have genuine ownership, the opportunity to improve how things are done and the chance to develop a capable systems team around you.
