Modernising UKRI's technology and systems is a key element of UKRI's new Operating Model and an important aspect of UKRI's Strategy, to be a world-class organisation and a huge step to making UKRI the most efficient, effective and agile organisation it can be.


The SHARP Programme will modernise and harmonise HR, Accounting, Reporting, and Procurement (SHARP) services across UKRI, and its shared services provider, UK Shared Business Services (UK SBS) by implementing efficient, seamless, integrated end-to-end processes and a new cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.


As part of this programme we are introducing a significant business change in transitioning to a position managed workforce structure (known as 'position management') enabling our HCM technology solution to provide more clarity, consistency and insight into our talented and diverse workforce.

This role will lead on key aspects of the change to facilitate the creation of robust jobs/positions catalogues and supporting the business in transitioning to different HR processes.


You will work with a multitude of stakeholders including senior HR leaders, business leaders, business analysts, local HR and finance teams and key practitioners across the breadth of UKRI & UK SBS.


You will play a fundamental role in unifying different elements of the HR system architecture to build a robust positions structure, constructively challenging the business and setting the conditions to ensure position management is adopted and used in an effective way to enhance workforce planning without increasing overall administration.


Key day-to-day responsibilities are:


  • Partner with designated business areas, rapidly build relationships at all levels to gain a strong understanding of the existing jobs and new position framework required, while judiciously challenging the status quo.
  • Define and agree worker positions and associated HR attributes within each business area.
  • Interface with other programme workstreams (e.g. HR, finance, payroll, procurement, helpdesk, reporting) to ensure processes and information are integrated with the expectations of the business
  • Work to harmonise positions across areas of the business where commonality exists.
  • Production of job profiles
