We’re looking for an experienced Payroll Transformation Project Lead to take a key role in a major payroll and workforce management transformation across Australia and New Zealand.
This is an opportunity to lead the end-to-end migration of an acquired business from its existing payroll and workforce management platforms onto our clients target-state solutions, working across both technology and the detailed payroll requirements that make a transformation successful.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Leading the end-to-end payroll and workforce management system migration across ANZ.
- Managing project delivery, milestones, risks, dependencies and key deliverables.
- Working with implementation partners to drive configuration and solution design.
- Leading payroll and workforce management data migration, testing, reconciliation, parallel runs and cutover.
- Ensuring the new solutions accurately reflect Australian and New Zealand payroll requirements.
- Working through complex Awards, Enterprise Agreements, leave, accruals, terminations and statutory requirements.
- Supporting integration between payroll, time & attendance and finance systems.
- Coordinating stakeholders across ANZ
- Supporting the business through go-live and post-implementation stabilisation.

The systems
- Payroll: ADP
- Time & Attendance / Workforce Management: Dormakaba

We’re looking for someone who has personally led or played a senior delivery role in a payroll system implementation, transformation or migration.

You’ll ideally bring:

- Proven experience delivering Australian and New Zealand payroll implementations or migrations.
- Strong knowledge of Awards,



Enterprise Agreements and payroll interpretation.
- Deep understanding of ANZ payroll processes, including leave, accruals, terminations and statutory requirements.
- Hands-on experience with data migration, testing, parallel payroll, reconciliation and cutover.
- Experience integrating payroll with time & attendance/workforce management and finance.
- Strong project and stakeholder management skills.
- Experience working across complex, multi-country or multi-business environments.
- The ability to operate at both the project leadership level and the detailed payroll/system level.

Why this role? This is more than a payroll implementation support role. You’ll be at the centre of a significant business transformation, helping shape how payroll and workforce management operate across ANZ and taking the business through to a successful go-live.

We’re ideally looking for someone who can start in the near term and has a track record of delivering complex, end-to-end payroll technology transformations.
