Payroll Project Manager

Job description

For our client, a company which recently underwent a major corporate separation from a global enterprise to establish a new, independent organization, we are looking for a highly experienced, self-driven, and hands-on Payroll Project Manager for a transformation project. In this role, you will oversee the vendor’s delivery, monitor implementation progress, and define the future-state operating model for the client's internal team.

What will your tasks involve?

- Project Oversight & Governance:

- Represent the client's interests across all system and process streams led by the implementation team.

- Monitor project milestones, overall completeness, execution quality, and deployment progress.

- Proactively identify risks, troubleshoot issues, and escalate any "red flags" promptly.

- Process Mapping & TO-BE Design:

- Map out clear boundaries and responsibilities between Payroll and People Solutions (HR Ops).

- Map interactions, handoffs, and accountability between internal teams (Payroll / HR Ops) and external vendors.

- Define and recommend the target TO-BE process model.

- Stakeholder Coordination & Communication:

- Act as the primary point of contact for project communication across internal business units, the implementation team, and third-party vendors.

- Work closely with the established project team to ensure alignment and seamless execution.

What we expect from you?

- Experience in project management (8-10 years) with a proven track record in large-scale transformation projects within Payroll and HR Operations,

- Deep understanding of end-to-end Payroll and HR Ops / People Solutions processes,

- Hands-on experience with systems such as Workday (or equivalent enterprise HR/Payroll platforms),

- Fluent English (written and spoken),

- A strong "hands-on" attitude — someone who actively digs into processes, systems, and details rather than just managing high-level progress,

- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to navigate complex organizational setups and carve-out scenarios.

What you can expect from us?

- A pivotal role in a strategic carve-out transformation project, directly shaping the future HR/Payroll operations of a growing, independent business,

- An engaging contract for approximately 10 months,

- Hybrid or remote work model,

- An opportunity to lead critical operational streams within an international setup,

- MultiSport card,

- Private medical care.
