In this role, you’ll support the Payroll Lead to ensure payroll is accurate and compliant with the legislation in each country we operate. You’ll help resolve payroll queries, keeping clear and open communication with stakeholders and the Payroll team, while following the agreed Payroll Calendar and established processes.

Your day-to-day tasks will include working with Payroll Specialists, uploading EIB files into Workday, and handling payroll administration, such as responding to queries in the case management system.
