• Document current-state payroll processes and translate them into configuration requirements
• Support data migration activities including data mapping, validation, and parallel processing
• Conduct and facilitate user acceptance testing (UAT), track defects, and drive resolution with client teams
• Advise clients on payroll compliance requirements, pay rules, and leading practices as they relate to system design
• Prepare and deliver client-facing status updates, issue logs, and workstream documentation
• Mentor junior team members on implementation methodology and client engagement standards

What You Must Have

- Bachelor's Degree

- 3 years of experience

What Sets You Apart

• Hands-on implementation experience with enterprise payroll platforms (Workday, Oracle, SAP SuccessFactors, UKG Pro, Ceridian Dayforce, ADP, Paycom, or similar)
• End-to-end payroll implementation experience, including requirements, configuration, testing, and go-live
• CPP (Certified Payroll Professional) certification
• Experience managing payroll for multi-jurisdictional or international employee populations
• Ability to run client-facing meetings and manage stakeholder expectations without senior oversight
