Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Lead multi-country payroll transformations and managed-services implementations across EEMA and APAC, from solution design and testing through cutover, go-live, and stabilization.
- Own ongoing payroll operations across the portfolio, including controls, calendars, compliance readiness, provider KPIs/SLAs, escalations, audits, and issue resolution.
- Improve payroll accuracy, compliance, controls, and continuity while reducing manual dependency and maintaining timely pay cycles.
Minimum Requirements
- Work Experience Required: 10+ years of progressive payroll experience in a complex multinational or professional-services environment, covering both multi-country transformation/implementation and live operations.
- Demonstrated leadership of complex, multi-country payroll transformations or implementations across EEMA and APAC.
- Strong end-to-end payroll knowledge, including gross-to-net, controls, payments, accounting interfaces, statutory filings, and post-payroll compliance; experience governing payroll providers and operational controls is required.
- Role is based in Gurugram or Chennai, with collaboration across EEMA/APAC time zones and travel as required.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Has led implementations end to end—including requirements, data migration, configuration, integrations, testing, parallel payrolls, cutover, and stabilization—and can recover or de-risk challenging programs.
- Combines detailed knowledge of country payroll operations and regulatory requirements with experience governing managed-services providers; transitioning from in-house/SaaS payroll to managed services is a strong advantage.
- Has worked with enterprise HR/payroll and finance systems, preferably SAP/SuccessFactors or comparable platforms, and can operate effectively across regional stakeholders and time zones.
