  • Assist with data maintenance and system integrity in collaboration with Payroll and People teams.

  • Extract, reconcile, and cleanse legacy data from Preceda for migration into aPay; audit and validate embedded data.

  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, testing cycles, and system upgrades.

About You

You're a detail-oriented and systems-savvy Business Analyst who thrives on solving complex problems and improving processes. You have:

  • Strong understanding of payroll legislation, award interpretation, and data integrity principles.

  • A methodical approach to system configuration, testing, and documentation.
