Full Job Description
We're Hiring: HRIS Payroll Lead (Workday Payroll)

World Fuel is a global fuel distribution and logistics company, enabling movement across air, land, and marine markets worldwide.

We connect fuel supply to demand across complex routes, markets, and time zones - reliably, safely, and at scale.

We're seeking an experienced HRIS Payroll Lead with deep expertise in Workday Payroll to lead the evolution of our global payroll technology ecosystem.

This is not a support role. This is an opportunity to serve as the strategic and technical leader for Workday Payroll, driving innovation, optimization, and transformation across a complex multinational environment.

Why This Role Stands Out?
• Own and influence a global Workday Payroll landscape
• Lead enterprise-wide initiatives with visibility across HR, Finance, IT, and executive stakeholders
• Drive payroll transformation and continuous improvement
• Work in a global environment supporting US, UK, and international payroll operations
• Partner with a highly collaborative team focused on innovation and operational excellence

As the Workday Payroll Lead, you will:

🔹 Serve as the primary subject matter expert for Workday Payroll and related payroll technologies.

🔹 Lead payroll configuration, enhancements, integrations, testing, and release management activities.

🔹 Partner with HR, Finance, IT, and external vendors to design scalable solutions and improve payroll processes.

🔹 Support payroll operations across the US and UK while enabling integrations with global third-party payroll providers.

🔹 Lead requirements gathering, solution design, backlog prioritization, and Agile delivery activities.

🔹 Ensure data integrity, compliance, security, reporting accuracy, and system performance.

🔹 Mentor team members and provide technical leadership for complex projects and enterprise initiatives.

🔹 Influence the future roadmap of HR and payroll technology at World Kinect.

What We're Looking For:
• 5+ years of hands-on Workday Payroll experience
• Strong expertise in:
  • Workday Payroll
  • Payroll integrations
  • Business process configuration
  • Security administration
  • Reporting & analytics
  • Testing & release management
  • Vendor management and third-party payroll interfaces

• Experience supporting payroll in a multinational environment
• Ability to lead cross-functional projects and influence stakeholders at multiple levels
• Strong consultative, problem-solving, and communication skills

Preferred

⭐ Workday Payroll Certification

⭐ Experience with Core HCM, Benefits, Compensation, Talent, and Workday Integrations

⭐ Agile or Scrum experience

⭐ Experience supporting global payroll transformation programs

Join us and help build the next generation of payroll and HR technology solutions.
