Description

  • Lead end-to-end payroll implementations for new clients from kickoff through successful go-live.
  • Serve as the primary implementation point of contact for clients during onboarding and change management.
  • Manage implementation timelines, milestones, and cross-functional deliverables to keep projects on track.
  • Travel to client sites to deliver training, support implementations, and provide onsite assistance when required.
  • Merge, validate, and verify payroll data in client systems, with emphasis on UKG Ready or existing payroll platforms.
  • Document client-specific payroll processes, configurations, pay codes, earnings, deductions, schedules, and reporting requirements.
  • Ensure data accuracy, compliance readiness, and system integrity throughout the implementation process.
  • Partner with internal payroll and operations teams to create clean, well-documented handoffs after implementation.
  • Deliver virtual and onsite client training on payroll systems, processes, and best practices.
  • Lead, mentor, and manage a small team of Payroll Specialists.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree and/or related work experience is required.
  • Minimum of 5 years of payroll experience, including at least 3 years in payroll system implementations, professional services, or client onboarding.
  • Demonstrated experience leading payroll implementations, upgrades, or system conversions from planning through go-live.
