Job Description

Payroll Finance Controller, EDM & HQ at a glance….

This Payroll Finance Controller, EDM & HQ will serve as a key Finance subject matter expert for payroll accounting and related financial activities across EDM and HQ entities. Initially supporting the Netherlands, UK, and Italy, the role will help lead the expansion of a standardized payroll finance operating model across additional EPDM countries over time.

This role combines financial controllership, governance, transformation, and cross-functional leadership. You will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and control of payroll-related financial activities while identifying opportunities to simplify and standardize processes across markets.

Although this is an individual contributor role, you will provide functional direction and subject-matter expertise to teams supporting payroll accounting activities and work closely with Finance, Payroll, GCC ATR, PBS, HR, Benefits, and Global teams to drive consistency, resolve issues, and minimize financial and compliance risk.

What’s on the menu?

  • Own payroll finance governance across in-scope EDM and HQ entities, providing functional oversight of payroll accounting deliverables, quality, controls, and issue resolution.
  • Review and sign off on the financial accuracy of payroll data and other post-payroll HR-related financial activities, including benefits.
  • Oversee payroll reconciliations and balance sheet positions, helping ensure timely close, accurate accounting, and resolution of aged or unsupported items.
  • Lead the Finance integration of additional countries into the Payroll Accounting operating model, establishing consistent processes, governance, and control ownership as the scope expands.
  • Serve as a payroll finance subject matter expert, providing guidance on topics such as PBP, RSU, GL accounting, standardization, and other payroll-related people plans and financial matters.
  • Partner across Finance, Payroll, HR/PBS, Benefits, GCC Payroll Accounting, and Global teams to strengthen upstream coordination, prevent issues, and drive effective solutions when challenges arise.
  • Own and drive resolution of payroll finance compliance and control matters, ensuring issues are appropriately identified, escalated, tracked, and resolved.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify and standardize payroll finance processes, improving operational efficiency and establishing consistent ways of working across countries.
  • Minimize financial and compliance exposure through strong financial controls, sound judgment, accurate accounting, and timely escalation of risks.
  • Provide functional guidance and coaching to colleagues supporting payroll accounting activities, helping reinforce quality, accountability, and consistent execution.
  • Drive measurable improvements including timely payroll accounting and reconciliations, reduction of aged balance sheet items, remediation of audit or control findings, and successful country transitions into the standard operating model.

Recipe for Success – apply now if this sounds like you!

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 7 years of progressive experience in accounting, finance controllership, payroll finance, or a closely related discipline.
  • Strong understanding of financial accounting, balance sheet reconciliations, financial controls, compliance, and close processes.
  • Demonstrated experience working in a complex, cross-functional environment, partnering effectively across Finance and non-Finance functions.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to identify financial or control risks, determine root causes, and drive issues through resolution.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead through influence and provide functional direction without relying on formal reporting-line authority, which is particularly important given the role's individual-contributor structure.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across countries, functions, and organizational levels.
  • Ability to balance strategic transformation with hands-on execution, reflecting the role's approximately 40% strategic and 60% execution-oriented scope.
  • Experience working in a multi-country or regional Finance environment strongly preferred.
  • Professional accounting or finance qualification (e.g., ACA, ACCA, CIMA/CGMA, RA, RC, or equivalent) preferred.
