We are seeking a strategic and forward-thinking Payroll Specialist to play a pivotal role in shaping and modernising payroll operations across a complex, multi-country environment.
This is not a traditional payroll operations role.

You will work closely with senior stakeholders to design scalable, efficient, and future-ready payroll solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design and implementation of best-in-class payroll processes
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives, focusing on efficiency, scalability, and automation
- Identify opportunities to enhance payroll through technology, including AI and digital tools
- Deliver end-to-end change initiatives within payroll environments
- Implement new processes, systems, and integrations to improve operational effectiveness
- Analyse current workflows and redesign for optimal performance
- Support and lead strategic payroll projects, including system implementations and transitions
- Contribute to organisational change initiatives impacting payroll
- Provide insight and recommendations to support long-term payroll strategy
- Partner with HR, Finance, and wider business stakeholders to align payroll processes with business needs
- Proven background in payroll within a complex organisation
- Strong experience delivering process improvement and change initiatives within payroll functions
- Demonstrable experience implementing new ways of working and driving transformation
- Strategic mindset with the ability to operate at both operational and leadership levels
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
- Strong analytical capability with attention to detail
