We are seeking a Senior Certified SuccessFactors Time‑Off Consultant with strong hands‑on implementation experience delivering New Zealand leave and absence solutions across multiple legal entities.

The role requires deep expertise in SuccessFactors Time Off, strong knowledge of NZ leave legislation, and proven experience integrating Time Off with Time & Attendance systems and downstream payroll.

This is a hands‑on delivery role, responsible for solution design, configuration, testing, and integration support - not an advisory‑only position.

This role can be performed from any of our EY offices across Aotearoa. Our roles can potentially be adjusted to work flexibly with reduced hours. Please speak with us about potential options.

  • Long Service Leave (where applicable)
  • Leave payout and termination scenarios
  • Ensure Time Off configuration aligns with NZ legislative and award/enterprise agreement requirements.
• Time & Attendance Integration
  • Design and support integration between SuccessFactors Time Off and Time & Attendance systems (e.g. SAP Time Tracking or other third‑party T&A platforms).
  • Ensure approved leave and attendance data flows correctly to payroll systems (ECP or other payroll engines).
• Support integration testing, error handling, reconciliation, and monitoring.
• Testing, Cutover & Go‑Live
  • Lead Time Off–related testing including unit testing, SIT, UAT, and end‑to‑end payroll validation.
  • Support data migration of leave balances across multiple entities.
  • Provide hands‑on support during cutover, go‑live, and hypercare phases.
• Stakeholder & Delivery Support
  • Work closely with HR, Payroll, Workforce Management, and technical integration teams.
  • Provide functional leadership and mentoring to junior consultants while remaining hands‑on.
  • Support optimisation, remediation, and continuous improvement initiatives post go‑live.
