The Opportunity

Focus on DF are supporting a large organisation in the services sector who are in the final stages of a complex Dayforce implementation across Australia and New Zealand.

We're looking for a hands-on Dayforce Workforce Management (WFM) Consultant — someone who can step in, assess the current configuration, identify gaps, and lead final configuration, testing, and go-live activities.

You’ll work alongside internal HR, payroll, and operations teams, as well as the System Integrator to ensure the WFM module delivers full compliance, accurate outcomes, and a smooth transition to BAU operations.

What You’ll Do

• Review and assess existing Dayforce WFM configuration to identify gaps or issues
• Lead configuration adjustments across scheduling, time & attendance, entitlements, compliance, and award interpretation
• Support parallel pay run testing, UAT, and Day-in-the-Life (DITL) testing activities
• Provide hands-on guidance during go-live and hypercare phases
• Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors (including Dayforce Managed Services) to ensure alignment
• Document solutions and provide knowledge transfer to internal stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

• Strong Dayforce WFM implementation experience in the Australian and/or New Zealand markets
• Hands-on configuration skills across scheduling, T&A, compliance, entitlements, and modern awards
• Experience with NZ Holidays Act compliance is highly desirable
• Ability to work independently and drive outcomes in fast-moving project environments
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
