Partner with Finance on payroll accounting, payroll-to-GL reconciliations, accruals, variance analysis, budgeting, and forecasting.
Investigate payroll discrepancies and data issues and implement sustainable corrective actions.
Maintain strong audit trails and documentation to support internal and external audits.

Stakeholder Management

Act as a senior point of contact for payroll-related inquiries and escalations from employees, managers, executives, auditors, government agencies, and other stakeholders.
Partner with HR, Finance, IT, and Operations on compensation changes, organizational changes, employee data, budgeting, forecasting, policy changes, and payroll-related projects.
Work effectively with external vendors and UKG representatives to resolve issues and deliver system enhancements.

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.
