Operational Alignment: Ensure seamless weekly and bi-weekly payroll operations and data validation prior to production deployment, aligning attendance and payroll outputs.

Proactive Stakeholder Engagement: Actively manage relationships across Global Leadership, HR, Payroll, IT, Operations, and Factory Management, ensuring global standards are aligned with local requirements.

Solution & Process Design: Oversee process mapping, requirement gathering, and gap analysis for joiners, movers, leavers, shift planning, attendance, leave management, and overtime calculations.

Testing, Quality & Risk Assessment: Define SIT, UAT, and Parallel Runs, driving proactive risk management, issue mitigation, and strict compliance with local labor regulations, audit, and data privacy standards.

Change Management & Governance: Facilitate business readiness, training programs, communication strategies, and user adoption while maintaining project governance standards.
