The company is currently rolling out a multi-country payroll and time & attendance harmonization project across its EU entities.

**The Role**

This is not just a strategic leadership role - we are looking for someone who is also **operationally hands-on**, pragmatic, and collaborative.

- Oversee implementation and integration of a digital T&A system that feeds into payroll
- Act as the key point of contact for all payroll-related matters across the EU region
- Ensure smooth and timely communication between all internal and external stakeholders
- Bring structure, discipline, and accountability to a fast-moving transformation environment
- Stay on post-transformation to lead the newly created regional payroll function
- Proven experience leading payroll transformations, especially outsourcing and vendor implementation
- Strong operational payroll knowledge with **multi-country** experience in the EU
- Ability to work independently and drive projects with mínimal supervision
- Hands-on approach - not just a delegator, but someone who can also roll up their sleeves when needed
- Skilled communicator with the ability to educate and engage non-payroll stakeholders
- Comfortable working in an international matrix environment and managing remote teams
- Strong project management skills and experience delivering complex HR/payroll initiatives
- Open to occasional travel

**Why Consider This Role?**
- Join a prestigious, crisis-resilient company with strong values and a long-term vision
- Play a central role in one of the company’s most important strategic HR transformations
- Opportunity to shape a new regional function from the ground up
- Long-term potential
