• Partner with stakeholders — including HR, IT, local payroll teams, and external vendors — to deliver projects on time, on scope, and with clear change management and communication.
• Support knowledge sharing and enablement — update or develop necessary process documentation and provide (or orchestrate) training to local payroll teams on new systems and processes.

Your Background:

• Bachelor’s degree in human resources, business, finance or similar related fields of education.
