The role

Are you a hands‑on Payroll & Time & Attendance (T&A) implementation expert looking for a high‑impact transformation challenge with clear long‑term potential? We are seeking a Payroll & Implementation Consultant to lead the end‑to‑end setup and deployment of our Blue Collar population payroll and T&A solution using Strada. This role begins with a critical 6‑month strategic implementation project, with high potential for contract extension or conversion to an indefinite role based on project success and individual performance. Reporting directly to the Tech HR Payroll and T&A Programme Manager, you will serve as the primary Subject Matter Expert (SME) and project lead. You will be responsible for driving discovery, process design, configuration validation, Workday integrations, parallel testing, go‑live cutover, and hypercare stabilization. This is a critical individual contributor role ideal for a seasoned consultant who brings strong accountability, proven leadership skills, rigorous risk assessment capabilities, and proactive stakeholder management, combined with deep technical expertise in Strada, weekly and bi‑weekly payroll operations, vendor management, and industrial/blue‑collar workflows.

What you'll be responsible for

• Lead the end‑to‑end payroll and T&A implementation project for the Blue Collar population from initiation through parallel runs, go‑live cutover, and hypercare stabilization, maintaining full accountability for project milestones and deliverables.
• Partner directly with external vendor Strada and internal tech/HR teams to manage deliverables, timelines, integration points (Workday/T&A/Payroll), and project risk governance through active stakeholder management.
• Design and document end‑to‑end T&A and payroll workflows tailored to factory and operational environments, including weekly or bi‑weekly payroll frequencies, shift scheduling, attendance, leave management, overtime, and premium pay rules.
• Perform continuous risk assessment across integration, data, and configuration phases, defining proactive mitigation plans to safeguard operational continuity and payroll accuracy.
• Validate gross‑to‑net calculations, tax rules, and employee earnings within Strada, conducting variance analysis between legacy payroll processes and the new solution.
• Define and execute SIT, UAT, parallel payroll cycles, defect management, and data reconciliation prior to production deployment.
• Develop cutover and hypercare plans, ensuring operational readiness, audit compliance, and seamless knowledge handover to BAU teams upon project completion.

We're looking for someone who

• Has proven experience leading end‑to‑end payroll & T&A implementations and vendor setups, specifically with Strada and Workday integrations.
• Has hands‑on experience designing and implementing weekly or bi‑weekly payroll schemes within industrial, manufacturing, or plant environments.
• Demonstrates strong leadership skills and influence to guide cross‑functional teams, align project priorities, and drive change adoption without direct hierarchical authority.
• Possesses exceptional stakeholder management and communication capabilities, with the ability to interact effectively across all organizational levels (from technical management to plant operations).
• Brings strong analytical depth in risk assessment, proactively identifying and mitigating potential regulatory, technical, or operational payroll risks.
• Drives high accountability, thinking end‑to‑end and taking full ownership of project outcomes and results.
• Brings strong domain knowledge of Blue Collar / industrial workforce requirements (complex shift planning, time tracking, overtime rules, labor compliance).
• Is 100% fluent in English (advanced C1/C2 business level) with exceptional communication capabilities.
• Operates confidently as a hands‑on Individual Contributor with strong project management discipline and technical SME depth (no direct reports).
• Is comfortable working in a fast‑moving, evolving organisation.
• Values collaboration, clarity and low‑ego ways of working.

What you'll get

• Market‑competitive pay and performance related rewards
• Flexible ways of working
• Support for health, wellbeing and life outside of work
• Time off to rest and recharge
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities

Specific benefits vary by location

Why join us?
