  • Experience working within, and preferably managing, an outsourced payroll model

  • Strong knowledge of HR Systems (e.g. Workday or similar, Chris21).
  • Strong interpersonal, collaboration and engagement skills with the ability to build and maintain effective stakeholder relationships
  • Strong analytical skills and capability to concisely generate and communicate insights from data
