PRA have been engaged to appoint a Director to lead complex payroll remediation and wage compliance engagements for a nationally recognised business.
PRA have been engaged to appoint a Director to lead multiple complex payroll remediation and wage compliance engagements within a nationally recognised advisory practice.
This is not a BAU payroll role. This is large-scale, regulator-facing, data-heavy remediation at the enterprise level.
If you have led multi-million-dollar remediation programs, engaged directly with regulators, and built advanced payroll data models — this is the brief.
The Mandate:
You will own the technical leadership of complex payroll remediation engagements across:
* Award & EBA interpretation reviews
* Superannuation guarantee remediation
* Leave accrual recalculations
* Employee progression adjustments
* Enforceable undertakings
* Large-scale FBT modelling
You will lead executive discussions, shape regulatory strategy, and direct advanced analytics teams delivering high-stakes outcomes. This role sits at the intersection of compliance, analytics, tax and executive advisory.
What Success Looks Like:
* You've led enterprise payroll remediation engagements end-to-end
* You've engaged directly with the ATO and/or Fair Work
* You can interrogate millions of rows of payroll data with confidence
* You build models — not just review them
* You influence C-suite stakeholders with clarity and authority
* You develop and elevate high-performing analytics teams
Technical Depth Required:
This is a hands-on leadership. You must bring advanced capability in:
* SQL (complex joins, reconciliation logic, data interrogation)
* Alteryx (workflow automation and transformation logic)
* R or equivalent analytical programming
* RPA exposure
* Tableau or Power BI
* AI-enabled analytics (Copilot, generative AI tools)
* 9+ years in payroll analytics or remediation is expected.
* A professional services or consulting background is highly regarded.
Why This Role Is Different:
* National remit
* Executive exposure
* Regulator-facing engagements
* Genuine leadership platform
* Flexible location across Australia
* Clear progression pathway
Remuneration is competitive and negotiable for the right profile.
