• Provide regular updates to the Payroll Manager on integration progress and findings

• Cross‑Functional Collaboration
• Collaborate with HR and other departments to resolve payroll queries and maintain data integrity
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders to communicate migration milestones, training needs, and process changes
• Manage the payroll mailbox and respond to ad‑hoc requests in a timely and professional manner
• Act as the primary contact for the payroll vendor

• Reporting & Governance
• Document migration, HR and training processes, decisions, and lessons learned to support future system transitions and audits
• Maintain payroll security and confidentiality in accordance with GDPR and Titan's internal policies
• Uphold Titan's commitment to fairness and transparency, adhering to Consumer Duty principles

• Minimum 5 years' experience managing payroll across multiple entities
• Strong knowledge of UK payroll legislation and statutory requirements
• Experience with payroll systems, ideally including HiBob or similar HRIS platforms
• Demonstrated experience leading end‑to‑end payroll system migrations
• Strong understanding of payroll data structures, system workflows, and integration testing methodologies
• Proven ability to manage migration timelines, risk mitigation, and cross‑functional coordination across departments
• Experience supporting change management and training during payroll system transitions
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
• AAT qualification (UK) or equivalent is advantageous
