An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Interim Payroll & Employee Payments Lead to support a large public sector organisation during a critical period of payroll and ERP change.

The role
You will be responsible for maintaining payroll stability, accuracy, and compliance while supporting a live SAP to SuccessFactors transition. The role provides senior leadership, oversight of validation activity, and escalation management during a high‑pressure operational period.
Key responsibilities

* Support a structured data validation programme
* Ensure statutory, HMRC, and governance compliance
* Act as escalation point for payroll risks and issues
* Work closely with system implementation partners and internal teams
