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. Process Improvement & Operational Excellence Drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce operational friction, rework, and dependency on manual intervention. Review end-to-end payroll operating flows to improve efficiency, resilience, and control effectiveness while accommodating local requirements. Ensure payroll processes, hand-offs, and operating practices are clearly documented and consistently applied. Governance, Risk & Controls Own payroll operational governance, ensuring issues, actions, and risks are tracked and resolved. Ensure payroll operations are audit-ready through strong controls, documentation, and operational discipline. Partner with internal stakeholders to support compliance with enterprise standards and local statutory requirements. Provide clear, structured updates on payroll operational performance, risks, and remediation progress. Qualifications & Experience Experience owning payroll operations or payroll-related operational outcomes in a multi-country environment. Strong understanding of payroll operating models, controls, and risk, with exposure to outsourced or vendor-supported delivery. Background in operational execution, stabilisation, change management, or process improvement. Experience working closely with Payroll Managers, HR, Finance, IT, and third-party providers. Comfort operating in post-implementation or post-transformation environments. Lean, Six Sigma, or structured improvement experience is a plus. Key Competencies Payroll operations ownership and execution Change adoption and operational discipline Process improvement and risk awareness Cross-functional coordination Clear, structured communication Ability to hold accountability without direct people management Success Measures Stable, reliable payroll operations across supported countries Effective adoption of payroll systems and operating model changes Reduction in recurring operational issues and control failures Clear visibility into payroll operational performance and risks Strong partnership with Payroll Managers and functional stakeholders Determining compensation for this role (and others) at Vaco/Highspring depends upon a wide array of factors including but not limited to the individual's skill sets, experience and training, licensure and certifications, office location and other geographic considerations, as well as other business and organizational needs.

Welcome to Ada At Ada, the National College for Digital Skills, our mission is to empower the next generation of diverse digital talent. By combining high-quality education with deep industry partnerships, we are expanding the talent pipeline, diversifying the tech sector, and transforming lives. As a specialist Further Education college, all our students study Computing, while our Higher Level and Degree Apprentices work in high-demand disciplines within innovative, blue-chip companies. Bridging the Skills Gap The UK s digital skills gap costs the economy an estimated £63 billion annually in lost GDP. Ada addresses this by equipping young people with the specific skills the industry requires. Since being announced by the Prime Minister in 2014 as England s first new FE College since 1993, we have consistently excelled, earning "Good with Outstanding features" in our first two Ofsted inspections. Our Reach and Impact We operate from state-of-the-art campuses in Victoria, London, and Ancoats, Manchester, fostering a supportive, values-driven environment for students and staff alike.

Prepare high quality learning resources that reflect the Ada Approach to Collaborative Professionalism. Provide academic and pastoral support for students in their lessons, as well as support outside lessons (e.g. after college or during part of lunch) to ensure that every student makes continuous and effective progress. Support student progress by providing constructive feedback both in lesson and on homework submitted that systematically checks learners understanding, identifies misconceptions accurately and provides clear, direct strategies for improvement.
