Operational Payroll Support

·         Act as a subject matter expert during times of change, providing hands-on payroll support

·         Troubleshoot issues across processing, reconciliations, and vendor interactions

·         Partner with third-party vendors (e.g., CloudPay, local payroll providers) to ensure compliance and timely delivery

·         Support payroll across multiple European countries including Poland, Germany, Italy, and France

·         Contribute to audits, reviews, and development of payroll SOPs and controls

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

·         5+ years' experience in payroll operations and/or project-based payroll delivery

·         Strong knowledge of payroll compliance, cross-border operations, and vendor management

·         Experience with CloudPay and/or Workday integrations

·         Ability to work autonomously, with sound decision-making and stakeholder communication skills

·         Highly organised with excellent attention to detail

·         Comfortable working in complex, fast-moving environments

Desirable (Not Essential)

·         Experience working in shared services or managed service payroll environments

·         A hands-on, solutions-focused approach

·         Proven ability to build strong, collaborative global relationships
