We're seeking an experienced Business Analyst to join our global Financial Application Support Team, which is responsible for supporting and evolving strategic HR, payroll, and workforce technology landscape.

The team plays a critical role in delivering the Global Payroll Transformation Program, a multi-year initiative focused on standardizing payroll processes, strengthening governance and controls, improving data quality and visibility, and reducing operational complexity across our global workforce. A key objective of the program is to establish Oracle HCM as the single source of truth for payroll-related employees and compensation data globally, while transitioning from multiple country-specific payroll providers to ADP as the strategic global payroll platform.

Your Role:

As a key member of the Global Payroll Transformation Program, you will work closely with Payroll SMEs, business stakeholders, and technology teams across 30+ countries to support the transition to ADP and help establish Oracle HCM as the global system of record for payroll-related data.

A key focus of the role will be assessing current-state payroll processes, data, and operating models; identifying opportunities for standardization and automation; and helping define the future-state business, process, data, and system requirements needed to support the global payroll strategy.

Global Payroll Transformation & Vendor Transition

• Support the global payroll transformation strategy, including the transition from multiple payroll providers to ADP and the establishment of Oracle HCM as the global source of truth for payroll-related information.
• Partner with Payroll SMEs across 30+ countries to assess current-state payroll processes, systems, controls, and operating models.
• Evaluate country readiness for payroll provider transitions, identify risks and dependencies, and support migration planning and execution.
• Drive opportunities for process standardization, simplification, automation, and improved operational efficiency.

Business Analysis & Solution Design

• Independently analyze complex business challenges, assess impacts and trade-offs, and develop practical, scalable recommendations.
• Gather, challenge, prioritize, and synthesize stakeholder requirements across global regions and functions.
• Document current-state and future-state processes, business requirements, data models, integrations, workflows, and business rules.
• Translate business needs into solutions that support global consistency, operational efficiency, and long-term scalability.

Data, Technology & Delivery

• Support the establishment of Oracle HCM as the authoritative source of payroll and compensation data globally.
• Define data, reporting, governance, and integration requirements between Oracle HCM, ADP, and other connected systems.
• Lead business testing activities, coordinate global UAT efforts, and support successful implementation and adoption.
• Partner with Payroll, HR, Technology, vendors, and business stakeholders to drive alignment, change management, and solution delivery.

What You'll Need to Succeed:

About You:

• 6+ years of Business Analyst experience supporting complex HR, Payroll, Finance, ERP, or enterprise transformation initiatives.
• Proven ability to independently assess business challenges, synthesize stakeholder input, evaluate options and trade-offs, and develop practical, scalable solutions.
• Strong experience in requirements gathering, process and data analysis, solution design, documentation, testing, and stakeholder management.
• Experience leading or supporting large-scale system implementations, process standardization initiatives, vendor transitions, or organizational change programs.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, exercise sound judgment, influence decisions, and build consensus across diverse global stakeholder groups.
• Experience with data governance, reporting, integrations, and end-to-end business process design.
• Experience working with ADP payroll solutions (GlobalView, Celergo) in a transformation, implementation, migration, or integration capacity is required.
• Experience with Oracle Cloud HCM and integrations between Oracle HCM and payroll systems is strongly preferred.
• Strong communication, facilitation, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a global matrix environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, Human Resources, or a related field.
