We are seeking a Senior Payroll Systems Analyst to lead the integration and implementation of a new Time & Attendance system.
Responsibilities
- Requirements & Interpretation: Lead workshops to gather requirements, specifically focusing on the interpretation of complex Enterprise Bargaining Agreements (EBAs) and National Payroll compliance.
- Process Architecture: Map "As-Is" vs. "To-Be" processes, creating robust user stories and acceptance criteria that eliminate manual intervention.
- Integration & Data Engineering: Oversee the data flow between HRIS, Time & Attendance and Finance/ERP systems.
- The "Accountant’s Lens": Utilise your accounting background to perform deep-dive data validation, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) practices, and parallel run reconciliations to ensure 100% pay accuracy.
- Test Leadership: Design and execute SIT/UAT strategies, including customised test scripts for complex pay rules, public holiday behaviours, and accruals.
- Vendor Management: Act as the primary technical point of contact for software vendors and internal cross-functional stakeholders (HR, IT, and Finance).
Experience/Skillset
- Hybrid Expert: You have 10+ years of experience across Business Analysis, Payroll Consulting, and Accounting. You don't just find bugs; you understand the financial impact of a misconfigured pay rule.
- WFM Specialist: Extensive experience with Tier-1/2 systems.
- Testing Rigor: Proven ability to design comprehensive test scenarios and automated data comparison workbooks (ETL) to validate system behaviour against complex EBA/Award logic during SIT, UAT, and Parallel Runs.
- Data Savvy: Advanced Excel skills are a given, but you also understand data mapping, system interfaces, and how to use automation to mitigate business risk.
- EBA Translator: You have a proven track record of reading a legal document (Award/Agreement) and knowing exactly how that needs to be coded into a system's logic.
- Education: A Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting/E-Commerce) or a similar Finance heavy qualification is highly regarded.
At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
