You will play a critical leadership role in transforming and running multi-country payroll across the EEMA and APAC regions.
You will combine hands-on payroll transformation and implementation expertise with strong operational leadership, taking complex country payrolls from design and transition through go-live, stabilization, and high-quality steady-state delivery.
You will lead payroll transformation and managed services implementations across EEMA and APAC, partnering closely with regional Finance and HR leaders, Technology teams, and payroll providers. You will translate country requirements into robust solutions, challenge vendor designs, drive configuration and integration readiness, lead end-to-end testing and parallel payrolls, manage cutover and stabilization, and ensure that implementations meet demanding standards for accuracy, compliance, controls, employee experience, and business continuity.
Alongside transformation, you will be accountable for the ongoing health of payroll operations across your portfolio. You will govern payroll calendars and controls, manage provider performance against KPIs and SLAs, drive root-cause resolution of payroll issues, oversee statutory and regulatory readiness, strengthen SOPs and operating discipline, support internal and external audits, and ensure payroll queries and escalations are resolved with urgency and quality.
Your work requires someone who can move confidently between strategy and execution: understanding the details of payroll calculations and country requirements while also leading cross-functional programs, influencing senior stakeholders, and holding vendors and internal teams accountable for outcomes. You will help build a resilient payroll operating model that reduces manual dependency, strengthens tax and regulatory compliance, improves controls, and delivers accurate and timely pay every cycle.
You will be based in Gurugram or Chennai, as part of our Finance Global Operations - Payroll Team, with significant collaboration across EEMA and APAC time zones and travel as required for implementation and critical operational priorities.
