Payroll, Team Lead - International

Payroll, Team Lead - International

Recruiting in Motion is partnering with an established organization in London, Ontario, to recruit an International Payroll Team Lead. This newly created opportunity is ideal for a payroll professional with U.S. and/or international payroll experience who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and supporting payroll operations across multiple jurisdictions.

The successful candidate will play an important role in supporting international payroll activities, coordinating with internal and external partners, and helping the organization manage payroll as its international operations continue to grow.

The Opportunity

• Support international payroll operations across multiple jurisdictions, including the United States and the U.K.

• Coordinate payroll activities and work with internal teams and external payroll partners.

• Support payroll operations for acquired businesses and assist with the integration of new entities.

• Help oversee payroll accuracy, deadlines, reconciliations and issue resolution.

• Identify potential payroll risks and take ownership of operational challenges.

• Support the ongoing Workday implementation and related payroll processes.

• Contribute to improving payroll procedures, controls and documentation.

• Manage competing priorities and coordinate payroll matters across different time zones.

• Provide guidance and support to colleagues while helping maintain consistent payroll practices.

What We're Looking For

• Progressive payroll experience, ideally with exposure to U.S. or international payroll.

• Strong understanding of U.S. payroll processes and requirements.

• Experience working with international payroll providers or external partners is an asset.

• Exposure to multiple jurisdictions and different payroll environments.

• Experience establishing payroll in a new country or supporting international expansion would be highly beneficial.

• Experience supporting acquisitions or integrating payroll processes is an asset.

• Exposure to Workday or other payroll system implementations is beneficial.

• Strong analytical, organizational and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment and take ownership of issues.

• Comfortable coordinating with teams across different time zones.

This role would suit a payroll professional who enjoys working beyond traditional payroll processing, is comfortable navigating different jurisdictions and can take initiative with minimal direction. Direct international payroll experience is an asset, but strong U.S. payroll experience combined with the right operational capabilities will also be considered.
