Responsibilities
Implementation Roadmap & Vendor Orchestration
Master Schedule Management: Establish and maintain the global implementation master schedule, defining critical paths, regional go-live dates, and integrated deployment milestones.
Vendor Escalation & Oversight: Serve as the primary point of contact and escalation for global payroll vendors, ensuring delivery aligns with internal technical specifications, timelines, and change readiness expectations.
Cross-Functional Working Team Leadership: Form and lead a cross-functional working group comprising Finance, Payroll Operations, HR, Legal, IT, and regional leaders to align technical delivery with local compliance and operational needs.
Systems Interface, Testing & Change Management
IT & HRIS Interface: Act as the primary bridge between Payroll and IT/HRIS teams, ensuring system configurations, data mapping, and integrations (specifically involving Workday) support accurate payroll processing and operational usability.
End-to-End Testing & Parallel Runs: Design and oversee User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and Parallel Run strategies, validating technical calculation accuracy while verifying operational readiness prior to launch.
Change Alignment & Adoption: Drive change management and enablement strategies alongside HR partners, ensuring clear employee communications, training alignment, go-live decision criteria, and risk mitigation.
Qualifications
Experience: 7+ years of progressive professional experience in Global Payroll Management, HR Project Management, HRIS Implementation, or large-scale enterprise transformation delivery.
Global Payroll Implementation Mastery: Proven track record leading at least one full-cycle global payroll implementation or multi-country vendor transition for a mid-to-large enterprise.
Testing & Compliance Expertise: Deep understanding of global payroll compliance, internal controls, and rigorous testing methodologies (UAT, Parallel Runs).
HRIS Systems Literacy: Fluent in HRIS data workflows and integrations, with direct experience working alongside Workday or equivalent enterprise HR platforms.
Project Governance & Change Management: Strong project management background with the ability to build logic-linked schedules, manage RAID items, and analyze change impacts.
Soft Skills: Exceptional stakeholder management, storytelling, and problem-solving abilities; comfortable navigating ambiguity and leading cross-functional teams without direct line authority.
Education: Formal degree is not required; equivalent professional experience and demonstrated project delivery capabilities are prioritized.
