Identify recurring operational issues, root causes, and control gaps, and drive corrective actions in partnership with Payroll Managers and relevant stakeholders. Oversee the transition from heightened post change support into steady state operations. Maintain visibility into operational performance, risks, and trends to support informed decision making. Change Management & Adoption Own and reinforce adoption of payroll related systems, processes, and operating models across regions. Coordinate change activities including communications, training support, and stakeholder alignment in partnership with Payroll Managers and functional teams. Act as a central point of coordination between payroll, HR, Finance, IT, and external providers to ensure changes are executed consistently. Identify country specific or operational challenges and implement practical mitigation strategies.
