We are looking for a hands-on Payroll Manager to support the delivery of accurate, timely and compliant payroll across EMEA. The role will focus initially on managing day-to-day EMEA payroll activity and supporting the local payroll team.

Working closely with local HR contacts, Finance, HRIS and external payroll providers, the Payroll Manager will help ensure payroll processes are well controlled, documented and continuously improved.

Responsibilities:

• Review monthly payroll outputs and support local HR teams and payroll contacts with payroll queries and approvals.

• Provide day-to-day guidance and support to the local payroll team, helping to maintain clear ownership, effective ways of working and a strong service culture.

• Work with payroll providers to resolve issues, monitor service delivery and ensure statutory and process updates are reflected in payroll activity.

• Support payroll process improvements, including reducing manual activity, improving documentation and identifying appropriate automation opportunities.

• Partner with the Payroll Project Manager, HRIS and Workday Integration Specialist on payroll-related system and process improvements, including Workday and Replicon activity where relevant.

• Maintain and improve payroll documentation, including procedures, process maps, controls, handovers and local requirements.

• Support provider onboarding, payroll transitions and new entity set-up activity within EMEA as required.

• Assist with payroll-related reconciliations, reporting, audits and data requests in partnership with Finance, HR and Global Mobility.

• Escalate risks, compliance concerns and material payroll issues promptly, supporting their resolution.

Requirements:

• 5-10 years of experience, ideally supporting payroll across more than one EMEA country or legal entity.

• Strong practical understanding of payroll processes, payroll controls, compliance requirements, confidential data handling and reporting.

• Experience working with local payroll teams and/or external payroll providers.

• Experience supporting payroll changes, provider transitions, system improvements or process documentation is desirable.

• Interest in process improvement and automation; exposure to Workday, Replicon or similar HR/payroll systems is an advantage.

• Organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage monthly deadlines and resolve issues in a timely manner.

• Collaborative communication skills and confidence working with HR, Finance and local stakeholders.

• Experience supporting new entity set-up or payroll activity related to acquisitions is helpful but not essential.
