Principal Oracle HCM Payroll Consultant

Are you an Oracle Cloud Payroll Consultant ready to take the next step in your career and help shape a growing payroll team?

Sopra Steria is looking for an Oracle Payroll Consultant to play a key role in developing our payroll offering across a range of high-profile public and private sector clients.

This is a highly visible role with strong support from the business. You will help shape our approach, strengthen our payroll capability, and build on relationships with an established customer base.

It is a great opportunity for a senior consultant who wants to do more than deliver projects. We are looking for someone who can influence direction, support growth, and take a leading role in the future of Oracle Payroll within our team.

What you will be doing:

• Leading full lifecycle Oracle Cloud Payroll implementations, from design through go-live and post-implementation support.
• Acting as a senior Payroll specialist in pre-sales, shaping solutions, supporting bids, and helping win new work.
• Building and mentoring a high-performing Payroll consulting team, developing capability and strengthening our delivery reputation.
• Driving the Payroll go-to-market proposition, contributing thought leadership and innovative approaches that differentiate Sopra Steria.
• Working on complex, high-profile programmes that deliver visible, real-world impact for clients.
• Playing a key role in shaping the strategic direction and future growth of the Oracle Payroll capability.

What you will bring:

• Significant experience delivering full lifecycle Oracle HCM Cloud implementations, with deep Payroll expertise.
• Strong knowledge of UK Payroll legislation, calculations, and statutory reporting.
• Proven experience leading complex Oracle implementations and managing multiple workstreams.
• Excellent stakeholder management and client-facing communication skills.
• The ability to translate business requirements into robust, scalable Oracle HCM Cloud solutions.
• Consulting experience within a recognised systems integrator or consulting organisation.

It would be great if you had:

• Experience delivering into Healthcare, Blue Light and Defence environments.
• Oracle E-Business Suite experience.
