- You will prepare and submit payroll inputs to the appropriate payroll teams/vendors for supported countries, ensuring inputs meet local requirements and are submitted ahead of payroll cut-offs to enable correct first-pay processing.
- You will investigate discrepancies and exceptions, conduct root cause analysis (RCA), and drive short-term and long-term remediation plans in partnership with your manager and stakeholders.
- You will coordinate with stakeholders (recruiting, payroll, vendors, and internal People Operations partners) to clarify ownership, manage dependencies, and ensure timely resolution and proactive communications.
- You will maintain audit readiness and strong controls by documenting actions, ensuring process traceability, following established procedures, and protecting data privacy by adhering to confidentiality requirements.
