Ensure all payroll remittances and filings are completed accurately and within required deadlines.

Experience with unionized payroll and collective agreements is an asset.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including PivotTables, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, complex formulas, data analysis, and reconciliations.

Strong leadership, communication, relationship-building, and stakeholder-management skills.
Ability to work effectively with HR, Finance, IT, Operations, senior leadership, UKG, and external vendors.
