The role focuses on delivering accurate, compliant, and efficient payroll operations, integrating pre built AI services where beneficial, and improving delivery productivity—without requiring deep AI model engineering, RAG systems, or agentic AI development.

Key Responsibilities

Payroll Functional & Technical Delivery

Configure and optimize Employee Central Payroll including pay components, off cycle processes, gross to net calculations, retroactivity, schemas, and rules.

Use AI copilots to rapidly generate functional specifications, configuration notes, testing scenarios, and payroll validation logic documentation.

Support the full delivery cycle from requirements gathering and solution design to UAT, deployment, and post go live stabilization.

Ensure seamless integration between Employee Central (EC), Time Management, HRIS Sync, BIB, and payroll relevant third party systems.

Perform payroll simulations, validations, reconciliations, and error diagnostics with AI assisted accelerators.

AI Assisted Productivity

Use AI copilots for:

• Impact and configuration analysis
• Test script automation
• Defect analysis and guided troubleshooting
• Documentation creation and updates
  
  

Integrate pre built AI services into payroll operations (e.g., automated anomaly detection on payroll variances, automated summarization of payroll runs, intelligent categorization of payroll tickets).

Apply AI enabled tools to accelerate compliance checks, payroll audits, and batch run reviews.

Governance, Compliance & Collaboration

Ensure strict compliance with local and global payroll regulations, audit requirements, data privacy laws, and security standards.

Participate in workshops, payroll parallel runs, root cause analysis, and optimization discussions—enhanced with AI supported insights.

Collaborate closely with HR operations, finance, technical integration teams, and external providers.

Contribute to reusable payroll templates, configuration patterns, checklists, SOPs, and best practices incorporating AI assisted workflows.
