Description

Our EMEA Payroll Implementation team manages the critical stages of onboarding new customers globally, working collaboratively with our partner network to deliver the full payroll implementation lifecycle from discovery through to deployment, ultimately handing over new payrolls to the ongoing teams for long term service delivery.

On a typical day, you'll be...

• Acting as the focal point for a varied portfolio of new payroll customers delivering consistently fantastic customer service
• Gathering and collating data and information from customers, ensuring we have everything we need to make the project happen and supporting the customers to identify the data we need
• Acting as the key focal point between the customer and the payroll partner, managing expectations and keeping all parties up to date on how the project is progressing
• Tracking and updating all of the required project deadlines and making sure nothing slips through the net – especially making sure that payroll payment submissions are made in accordance with the agreed schedule
• Working closely with our network of in-country payroll partners to ensure customer payrolls are implemented on time and accurately
• Hosting and chairing regular project calls with customers to track progress, review performance and identify opportunities for improvement
• Creating robust payroll manuals to support the ongoing service delivery teams with the handover process
• Answering queries from customers, partners and colleagues, troubleshooting and resolving where possible, or escalating more complex issues through our internal channels
