About the ABC

The ABC is Australia's most trusted and independent source of information, conversation, culture and stories. With more than 4,500 employees from diverse backgrounds in more than 60 locations across Australia and overseas, we create, curate and deliver high-quality content that informs, entertains and connects the nation.

About the Role

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead People & Culture's contribution to the ABC's HR and Payroll Modernisation transformation program, which will transition the ABC's current HR and Payroll environment (SAP ECC) with SAP SuccessFactors.

Reporting to the Head of People Operations, you'll provide dedicated leadership to ensure People & Culture, the external SAP support partner and Product & Technology are aligned, while making sure People & Culture's resourcing allocation, workplan and risk log are owned and delivered.

The program's Discovery phase will turn the endorsed strategic direction into an Implementation Business Case. You'll provide high-level advice to the Business Owner and Sponsor and recommend critical choices between options on process, support and operating model, for which P&C is accountable in Discovery.

If you're an experienced transformation leader ready to lead People & Culture's part in an HR and payroll transformation from Discovery to go-live, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading the day-to-day integration of P&C SMEs, the external specialist/partner and P&T, while owning the P&C workplan, risk log and decision log and managing resource allocation through Discovery.
• Driving P&C inputs to the current-state assessment, target-state definition and gap analysis while leading P&C decision-making on process and operating model, recommending critical choices through program governance.
• Heading up workshops with P&C subject matter experts and stakeholders from across the ABC to confirm target-state workflows and operating models.
• Leading P&C's contribution to the RFP for an SAP SuccessFactors implementation partner and delivering its contribution to the Implementation Business Case, including scope, prioritisation, costs, benefits and risks.
• Directing P&C COE validation of end-to-end employee lifecycle processes and experience and overseeing the legacy SAP HR data quality assessment, while driving early identification of enterprise agreement, award, legislative and policy rules affecting configuration.
• Steering P&C benefits identification and change impact assessment. You'll also partner with the Delivery Lead to align P&C activities to program milestones and report to the Business Owner and Sponsor.
• During implementation, leading P&C's partnership with the implementation partner and P&T, along with COE participation in design, build, testing, payroll parallel run and transition ahead of the December 2029 deadline.
• Driving solution design sign-off, data migration and test planning and execution across system integration testing, user acceptance testing and parallel payroll runs.
• Leading P&C's contribution to cutover and go/no-go readiness, along with business readiness, change, hypercare and handover, while protecting business-as-usual HR and payroll operations and owning the P&C benefits register.
• Building strategic partnerships with P&C, P&T, Procurement, Finance, Legal and business and external stakeholders to promote shared ownership of program outcomes.

About You

• Relevant tertiary qualifications or demonstrated equivalent skills, knowledge and experience.
• Significant experience leading major HR, payroll or enterprise platform transformations from discovery to implementation, with recognition as an independent professional.
• A proven ability to deliver highly complex, largely undefined work independently under broad direction, managing workplans, risks and dependencies across business, technology and vendor teams.
• Highly developed knowledge of HR and payroll processes, workplace relations and employer obligations, plus strong working knowledge of SAP SuccessFactors or comparable platforms (or the ability to build it quickly).
• Experience shaping Discovery findings into Implementation RFP requirements and evaluation criteria and preparing business cases that recommend critical choices to executive and governance forums.
• Advanced stakeholder engagement, communication and influencing skills and well-developed leadership, with experience building an inclusive culture where diversity is valued.
• Substantial organisational skills and the ability to deliver under pressure, plus the capacity to contribute to program strategy, policy and strategic proposals.
