Leads payroll delivery workstreams, supports complex requirements, and mentors junior team members

At Mivada, we believe that when you bring together the right people and the right technology, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.

About The Role

We're seeking a Senior Consultant who specialises in Payroll, Absence, Time Tracking to join our growing Workday practice. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong payroll expertise with a passion for delivering exceptional client outcomes and building their consulting career.

The role is primarily focused on Australian payroll (approximately 80%), with opportunities to support New Zealand payroll initiatives as part of a broader ANZ practice.

You’ll have the opportunity to broaden your skills, contribute to practice growth, and mentor junior consultants while working with some of Australia's leading organisations.

This role is based in our Barangaroo head office and offers a hybrid working arrangement. We are also open to candidates based in Melbourne.

What You’ll Be Doing

- Configure and optimise Workday Payroll solutions to meet client requirements and business objectives.
- Lead payroll configuration, testing, and deployment activities across implementation projects.
- Manage integrations between Workday Payroll and external systems.
- Advise clients on Workday best practices and identify opportunities for process improvement.




- Develop payroll reporting and ensure compliance with relevant legislative and regulatory requirements.
- Troubleshoot and resolve payroll-related system and process issues.
- Deliver end-user training, documentation, and post-go-live support.
