This role is an individual contributor role and opportunity for a flexible, financially-minded professional to navigate a global landscape.

Your role provides the essential stability and accuracy that allows our team to function as a strategic partner to the wider business. We want people who are inspired by this shift and ready to help us build a world-class financial platform. What you will do * Execute & control: You will be hands-on in preparing and executing payrolls, this role focuses primarily on the US and other countries in the Americas.

You have a solid grasp of payroll accounting principles and the General Ledger. * Mindset: You are flexible and thrive in an environment where processes are not always set in stone. You are comfortable switching between different operating models and regions. * Curious: You are naturally curious and don't take things at face value. You ask "why," dig into the details to understand the root cause of discrepancies, and are eager to learn how complex mechanisms (like shadow payrolls) work. * Global mindset: You think beyond your office. You are culturally aware and flexible enough to work across different time zones when the business requires it. * Team player: You are collaborative and communicative. You realize that payroll is a team sport, and you are ready to jump in and support colleagues during peak times. You are able to work across timezones.  * Systems: Strong preference for experience with Workday and the Workday payroll module.
