• Regular auditing of the database to ensure data accuracy. Involvement in large data projects as required by the business; e.g.g mobilisations and organisational changes.
• Being our expert for People and Payroll reporting out of the system via Resourcelink Reporting Services. Updating RRS with new user fields and delivering complex reports.
• Upskill the rest of the Resourcelink project team. Provide reliable and hands-on support to our local People teams whenever it is required.
• Become the primary point of contact with Zellis, raising new cases where appropriate and taking ownership of issues until they are resolved.
