The position works closely with Payroll Managers and cross-functional partners to ensure payroll operations are stable, scalable, and operating effectively following system, vendor, or process change.

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.
