• Audit and Payroll Control: You will support audits, maintain clear data, and audit trails, and independently validate payroll outputs ahead of sign off, identifying discrepancies and ensuring alignment with reward, benefits, and statutory requirements.
• Collaboration and Continuous Improvement: You will collaborate with People Operations, Talent Acquisition, Finance and Risk to ensure data integrity and joined up delivery, and partner with People Business Partners to provide insight that supports effective business decisions. You will also contribute to continuous improvement of reporting, governance, and wider People processes.
