You will be the subject matter expert for SAP Payroll, SuccessFactors Employee Central, and our Time & Attendance system, responsible for everything from configuration and troubleshooting to reporting and process improvement.

• Reporting & Analytics: Develop and maintain insightful reports and dashboards using Power BI and Spinifex to provide visibility into KPIs, audit controls, and payroll trends. Proactively address data requests from HR and Payroll leadership.
• Solution Delivery Lifecycle: Lead the full lifecycle of system enhancements, from gathering business requirements and writing functional specifications to coordinating testing (integration, regression, UAT) and driving end-user adoption.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on functional experience with SAP Payroll and SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central.
• Proven expertise in managing end-to-end payroll processes (weekly, monthly, off-cycle) and performing root cause analysis.
• Experience with a modern Time & Attendance system, preferably WorkForce Software or Workday Timekeeping.
• Strong reporting and data visualization skills using Power BI and Spinifex.
• Demonstrated ability to translate business requirements into functional specifications and system configurations.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications
