Are you a data-driven payroll expert looking to make a significant impact within a major national institution? We are seeking two high-calibre Payroll Analytics Specialists to join a specialised Payroll Governance team. This is a critical engagement focused on high-stakes investigative reviews and remediation activity following a major enterprise system transition.

About the Role

Following a recent migration to SAP SuccessFactors, our client is intensifying its focus on payroll compliance and data integrity. Working within the People and Culture division, you will play a pivotal role in finalising existing reviews and spearheading new investigative work streams. This role requires a deep dive into up to seven years of historical payroll data across both legacy (TechOne) and current systems to ensure absolute regulatory alignment.

Key Responsibilities

• Extract, cleanse, and reconcile complex payroll data sets from both TechOne and SAP SuccessFactors.

• Interpret Awards and Enterprise Agreements to provide technical support for large-scale remediation activities.
• Applying expert knowledge to accurately calculate complex final entitlements and settlement figures, ensuring strict associated regulatory and tax compliance.
• Develop comprehensive reports and BI dashboards to present findings and strategic recommendations to senior stakeholders.
• Manage and administer all payroll aspects related to complex employee transitions and life cycle changes identified during the audit process.

About You

• You possess a sophisticated understanding of end-to-end pay runs, complex Award interpretation, and Australian payroll legislation.
• Proven experience navigating payroll investigations, remediation projects, or specialised payroll audit environments.
• Expert-level Excel skills (data mining, complex formulas, and reconciliations) are mandatory; experience with PowerBI or Tableau is highly desirable.
• Prior experience with SAP SuccessFactors and/or TechOne will be viewed as a significant advantage.

The Benefits

• 6-Month Fixed Term Contract with an immediate start, and potential for project extension.
• Competitive daily rate of $700 - $800 (including superannuation).
• National remote opportunity, work from anywhere within Australia.
• Support a high-profile governance project for a leading financial services organisation during a period of significant regulatory transformation.

Candidates must possess full Australian working rights to be considered for these vacancies.
