Job description

Payroll Transformation Project Lead – ANZ

12-Month Maximum-Term Contract | Australia & New Zealand

We’re looking for an experienced Payroll Transformation Project Lead to take a key role in a major payroll and workforce management transformation across Australia and New Zealand.

This is an opportunity to lead the end-to-end migration of an acquired business from its existing payroll and workforce management platforms onto our client target-state solutions, working across both technology and the detailed payroll requirements that make a transformation successful.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading the end-to-end payroll and workforce management system migration across ANZ.
• Managing project delivery, milestones, risks, dependencies and key deliverables.
• Working with implementation partners to drive configuration and solution design.
• Leading payroll and workforce management data migration, testing, reconciliation, parallel runs and cutover.
• Ensuring the new solutions accurately reflect Australian and New Zealand payroll requirements.
• Working through complex Awards, Enterprise Agreements, leave, accruals, terminations and statutory requirements.
• Supporting integration between payroll, time & attendance and finance systems.
• Coordinating stakeholders across ANZ
• Supporting the business through go-live and post-implementation stabilisation.

The systems

• Payroll: ADP
• Time & Attendance / Workforce Management: Dormakaba

You’ll ideally bring:

• Proven experience delivering Australian and New Zealand payroll implementations or migrations.
• Strong knowledge of Awards, Enterprise Agreements and payroll interpretation.
• Deep understanding of ANZ payroll processes, including leave, accruals, terminations and statutory requirements.
• Hands-on experience with data migration, testing, parallel payroll, reconciliation and cutover.
• Experience integrating payroll with time & attendance/workforce management and finance.
• Strong project and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience working across complex, multi-country or multi-business environments.
• The ability to operate at both the project leadership level and the detailed payroll/system level.

Why this role?

This is more than a payroll implementation support role. You’ll be at the centre of a significant business transformation, helping shape how payroll and workforce management operate across ANZ and taking the business through to a successful go-live.

We’re ideally looking for someone who can start in the near term and has a track record of delivering complex, end-to-end payroll technology transformations.
