You should have a strong understanding of payroll regulations and compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions, as well as proficiency in payroll software and systems, with a focus on process optimization and efficiency.

Excellent leadership and communication skills are necessary, along with the ability to interact effectively at all levels. High attention to detail, a commitment to accuracy and confidentiality, strong analytical, organizational, and project management skills, exceptional communication and stakeholder management abilities are also essential.
