Payroll Project Analyst

Working at Transurban is different; it’s a place where you can see the benefits of your work play out in real life, every day. We create city-sized solutions—building and operating safer, smarter, and more sustainable roads—to solve pressing transport challenges that are slowing cities down. 
 
About the role 
 
We’re seeking a Payroll Project Analyst on a 12 month contract to play an important role delivering on Transurban’s people strategy. This role will develop and transition payroll solutions into the business-as-usual Payroll team, whilst continuously improving payroll tools, processes and controls.
 
You’ll join an innovative team reporting into the Head of People and Culture Projects and be responsible for the assessment, design and documentation of project payroll solutions, both technical and non-technical. You’ll also take a holistic view of the payroll system environment and end-to-end payroll process by quantifying the operational and employee change impacts delivered by projects.
 
As our Payroll Project Analyst, you’ll contribute to lasting and positive changes that shape the future of our cities and communities. It’s meaningful, challenging and exciting work. 

Day-to-day, you will: 
 

• Understand Payroll requirements for the delivery of new and updated processes, tools and templates to ensure solutions being delivered are compliant, simplified and leverage automation solutions

• Via workshop sessions collate core payroll scope through the documentation of project requirements and analyse “as-is” payroll processes, functionality and dataflows to identify gaps and deliver enhanced compliance and governance

• Deliver “to be” documentation and approach that can be embedded into the payroll function and in conjunction with payroll stakeholders, develop revised payroll tools, solutions and processes

• Deliver change strategies and learning programmes ensuring payroll solutions are effectively handed over to the operations team

• Build payroll reports and associated documentation for analysis, project governance forums and committee meetings and be responsible for status updates on payroll change management

• Understand payroll process specific to project deliverables and act as a SME on behalf of the Payroll function

 
This role will suit someone with a curious mind and transferrable skills and experiences, including: 

• Several years payroll domain knowledge in both operations and a project capacity either in the fields of compliance and remediation or payroll system transformation

• Demonstratable analytical and problem-solving skills with an excellent attention to detail

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications including Excel, Visio and Word

• A working knowledge of the Atlassian toolset including Jira and Confluence

• Experience using ERP and Payroll systems with a preference for Workday and iChris

• Industrial Relations knowledge in a complex multifaceted award and enterprise agreement landscape

• Experience in project teams with agile ways of working

 
If you meet some of these requirements, but not all, we encourage you to submit your application. 
 
With a career at Transurban, you’ll enjoy a range of benefits, including:  

• A range of flexible working and leave options

• Learning and development opportunities to support your career interests 

• Health and wellbeing support—access to Headspace and our EAP program, wellness facilities, and more 

• Social activities, community give-back programs and paid volunteer days 

 
We offer a range of flexible working and leave options, so you can balance your work and life commitments and interests. Have a conversation with us about how this could work for you.  
 
We embrace diversity with a foundation of safety, wellbeing and inclusion; where everyone belongs. We treat everyone with fairness, consideration and respect, regardless of gender, gender identity, marital or family status, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural or socio-economic background, perspective, and experience – whether they work for us or not. We want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe to express ideas, questions and concerns. 
 
We strongly encourage applications from candidates of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people living with disability.
