Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end People Operations transition to ADP for 4–6 countries simultaneously, taking full accountability and ownership of the project from initial design through to a stable post‑launch support, proactively spotting challenges and guiding the team toward solutions.
• Act as the functional expert ensuring Workday remains the absolute single source of truth.
• Move away from manual local processes. Design and document a clear, standardized payroll playbook that our People Operations specialists can easily follow across all 16 countries.
• Review and finalise post‑implementation Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Oversee data formatting and validation to ensure information is accurate before it moves systems.
• Partner proactively with wider People Team, Benefits, Legal, and IT teams to manage and gain further clarity on specific local legislation and flag systemic data discrepancies early during project cycles.
• Provide daily technical guidance, project direction, and encouragement to the two Senior People Operations Specialists working alongside you on this rollout.

Requirements

• Solid experience within People Operations or Payroll Operations, with a history of supporting system rollouts or complex operational changes.
• Comfort managing multiple timelines independently. You know how to keep a project moving and feel comfortable raising your hand when a timeline needs adjusting.
• Proficiency in Workday, specifically in running/validating reports and understanding how data transforms across integration pipelines (experience with PECI or similar middleware into ADP Celergo/GlobalView is highly preferred).
• Deep understanding of the HR‑to‑Payroll pipeline and the technical nuances of the Hire‑to‑Retire lifecycle across different geographies is required. A working knowledge and understanding of processing payrolls, end to end is highly desirable.
• A natural curiosity about how modern tools, including AI, can help reduce repetitive manual work and make daily tasks easier.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to lead workshops and translate technical system requirements for non‑technical local experts.
