Project Manager Payroll & HR Transformation

Om jobbet

At Avaron, you get the security of permanent employment combined with the variety of working at different customers. We place specialists across everything from tech, IT and industry to project management and business support – and whatever the assignment, you have a consultant manager who is there for you and your development.

You will lead a global payroll and HR transformation for an international organization in robotics, driving payroll system implementations across multiple countries and helping shape future-state processes across Payroll, Employee Life Cycle, and Time & Attendance.

This is a strategic role where you stay close to execution.

Stakeholder management is central to success, and you will have a key role in aligning priorities, decisions, and delivery across a complex international setup.
