• Prepare FTE management reports and reconciliations using information from the payroll system.
• Lead payroll-related projects, including system implementations or improvements.
• Implement enhancements to our client's existing payroll system and processes, including time and attendance capture, and optimise technology usage.

Selection Criteria
