  5. Act as a subject matter expert on payroll legislation, awards, and enterprise agreements.
  6. Lead payroll audits, internal controls, and risk mitigation strategies.
  7. Partner with Finance and People teams to support budgeting, forecasting, and workforce planning.
  8. Champion innovation by improving payroll systems and integrating new technology.
  9. Maintain strong stakeholder relationships and deliver exceptional service to leaders and employees.
