  • Ensure quality, accuracy, and timeliness of payroll system outputs through proactive monitoring and testing.

What We're Looking For

  • Solid experience in SAP Payroll with ECC6 or higher.
  • Strong hands-on ability to update schemas, rules, and payroll configuration.
  • Proficiency in ABAP development for payroll-related changes and customisations.
  • Demonstrated experience with enhancement pack upgrades and system updates.
