* Reconcile payroll to the general ledger and bank, and provide accurate reporting and payroll analysis to key stakeholders.
* Lead, coach, and support a team of six payroll professionals, driving performance and continuous development.
* Maintain and improve payroll systems, processes, and controls to enhance accuracy and efficiency.
* Collaborate with HR, IT, and Finance to deliver process improvements and system upgrades.
* Provide timely support for employee payroll queries, ensuring a high standard of customer service.
