Senior Analyst, Payroll

Job Description

Job ID: MJ000429

About The Job

As a Senior Analyst in Payroll, you’re the person the team comes to when a case gets hard. You manage the most complex multi-country payroll cycles as an individual contributor — no direct reports, but real technical authority. You take on problems that don’t have a clean SOP answer, own the judgment calls inside your area, and persuade Finance and Tax partners to your recommended course even when the final decision sits with them.

• Manage end-to-end payroll for multiple international countries: own variable inputs to payroll vendors, lead first-pass analysis of payroll reports and statutory components, and hold the cycle to deadline
• Be the reference point for statutory, tax, and compliance questions that cut across job areas — the analyst others escalate to, not from
• Lead the complex cases: mid-cycle corrections, retroactive adjustments, off-cycle runs, sensitive termination calculations
• Own and drive a payroll process-improvement or system-optimization initiative for your markets as part of a project team, from problem diagnosis to implemented fix
• Build strong working relationships with Accounting, Tax, and Finance — persuade partners of your position and deliver reliable payroll cost data and reconciliations
• Safeguard documentation, system security, and confidentiality of payroll records in line with internal control standards
  
  

Requirements

• You hold a bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or equivalent
• You have at least 4 years of relevant regional payroll-processing experience.
• You have deep, current command of international payroll, payroll tax, and statutory requirements across Southeast Asian markets
• You find the error before the audit does — detail-oriented with a genuine analytical edge
• You’re proficient across payroll and HR platforms and use reporting to manage your operation, not just describe it
• You manage multiple deadlines and stakeholders without losing accuracy or composure
• You handle confidential data with rigorous control and discretion
• You hold a bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or equivalent
