If you are swift to action, confident to lead, willing to collaborate, and curious about what science can do, then you’re our kind of person.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Lisbon office as The Global Workday Payroll Technology & Integrations Lead! The Global Workday Payroll Technology & Integrations Lead also forms a key part of any global payroll project team leading on Workday payroll module & payroll integrations.

This role sits between the

3. Taking the lead in coordinating the Year-End update activity in Workday relating to key items of localized configuration, period schedules, payroll calendars, holiday calendars, and integrations schedules.
4. Reviewing any issues including change requests and questions to ensure we retain global oversight, educating countries as necessary, and ensuring we utilize the full potential of the Workday payroll module (including integrations and Cloud Connect for Third-Party Payroll).
5. Ensuring that the business has insight into future roadmaps, trends, and shares best practices across the business.
6. Collaborating with the country Payroll Leads to ensure that the
   -
   - end process is working and minimizes unnecessary manual processing where possible.
7. Working with HRIT and the Global Team Lead to coordinate all the necessary updates needed in Workday to ensure a seamless continuation of payroll processes for the next calendar year.

Critical criteria:

1. Workday Payroll and related integrations knowledge (PECI, Time PICOF, etc. )
2. Experience of payroll delivery and payroll technology.
3. Track record of working with global business services.
4. Ability to communicate technical information to
   - technical stakeholders to ensure understanding.
5. Strong communication skills and able to converse clearly across geographies with different audiences.
6. Ability to manage demanding and competing priorities effectively.
7. Business Analyst experience is desirable - particularly in a payroll implementation context.
