  • Support the coordination, planning, and prioritisation of the EU Payroll team’s day-to-day activities, ensuring effective workload management and adherence to critical deadlines.
  • Act as a key operational partner to local and regional payroll teams, providing guidance and hands-on support on day-to-day payroll matters.
  • Support the resolution of complex payroll cases, including off-cycle payments, terminations, audits, and escalations, ensuring appropriate risk management and governance.
  • Maintain strong relationships with external payroll providers and collaborate closely with internal stakeholders across HR, Finance, Tax, and wider business functions.
  • Ensure robust operational controls are maintained and support monthly reporting and payroll validation activities.
  • Contribute to ongoing payroll and transformation projects while ensuring operational continuity and minimal business disruption.
  • Foster a collaborative, solution-oriented, and high-performing team environment during a period of change.

Profile

  • Strong payroll experience, ideally within a multinational and/or European environment.
  • Previous experience in interim assignments, payroll transitions, or regional payroll support functions is highly valued.
  • Good understanding of labour law, payroll legislation, and tax regulations in Portugal and/or other European countries.
  • Proven experience coordinating operational activities and supporting teams in fast-paced environments.
  • Strong organisational and prioritisation skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and stakeholders effectively.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Fluent English is essential; additional European languages are an advantage.
  • Delivery-focused mindset with a strong sense of accountability and customer orientation.
  • Collaborative, adaptable, empathetic, and resilient team player with a proactive approach.
