A fantastic opportunity to showcase your technical expertise within a high-performing environment! Arising from a new operational hybrid model, this position is perfect for a candidate who thrives on a high-volume workload and enjoys the variety of end-to-end processing.

The Role

• Managing and administering all payroll aspects related to complex employee transitions and lifecycle changes, including mid-cycle adjustments and high-volume terminations.
