    Our client is looking for a APAC Payroll Transformation Manager that will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of payroll operations across the region. This position is responsible for driving end to end payroll transformation initiatives, enhancing operational efficiency, strengthening governance, and ensuring a seamless colleague experience across multiple APAC markets. You will work closely with global and regional stakeholders to modernise processes, optimise technology, and embed consistent standards that support a scalable and resilient payroll service.

    Based in Singapore and reporting to the Head of Global Payroll in the UK, you will act as a strategic partner to HR, Finance, Technology, and external vendors, ensuring that payroll transformation aligns with organisational goals and regulatory requirements. In addition to shaping the strategic direction, this is a hands‑on delivery role, requiring the role holder to design, document, and operationalise the future‑state payroll processes and controls across APAC. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complex, fast moving environments and enjoys leading change across diverse countries, cultures, and operating models.

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Lead the design, delivery, and governance of payroll transformation initiatives across APAC, ensuring alignment with global strategy and local requirements.
    • Assess current payroll processes, systems, and controls to identify opportunities for standardisation, automation, and efficiency improvements.
    • Partner with HR, Finance, Technology, and external vendors to implement new payroll solutions, integrations, and process enhancements.
    • Oversee change management activities, including stakeholder engagement, communication, training, and adoption planning.
    • Ensure payroll transformation projects meet compliance, risk, and audit standards across all APAC jurisdictions.
    • Develop and maintain documentation, process maps, and governance frameworks to support sustainable payroll operations.
    • Monitor project progress, manage risks and issues, and provide regular updates to senior leadership.
    • Support vendor selection, contract reviews, and ongoing vendor performance management related to payroll transformation.
    • Use data and analytics to evaluate payroll performance, measure transformation outcomes, and inform continuous improvement.
    • Act as a subject matter expert for APAC payroll processes, regulations, and best practices.

    Skills & Knowledge required:

    • Extensive experience in multi country payroll operations within APAC, ideally gained in a large, complex, or global organisation.
    • Proven track record leading payroll transformation, process redesign, or system implementation projects.
    • Strong knowledge of APAC payroll regulations, compliance requirements, and risk management frameworks.
    • Experience working with HRIS and payroll technologies including Workday.
    • Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across HR, Finance, Technology, and external vendors.
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with the ability to interpret data and drive evidence-based decisions.
    • Exceptional communication skills, capable of explaining complex concepts to diverse audiences.
    • Demonstrated ability to lead change, manage competing priorities, and deliver outcomes in fast paced environments.
    • High level of organisation, attention to detail, and commitment to operational excellence.
    • Resilient, proactive, and comfortable navigating ambiguity in a transformation focused role.
