• Monitor operational tasks, plan your workload, and ensure deadlines are met - especially during peak periods.
• Share knowledge and support your colleagues in the Payroll Team, support colleagues across functions, and contribute to improvements, projects, and system updates.
• Maintain clear, proactive communication with Payroll and cross-functional partners to secure smooth processes and great employee support.

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

You’ll be part of the Payroll NL team, working closely with Payroll Specialists, the Team Lead Payroll NL, and partners across Finance, HR, Store Operations, and other local stakeholders. You report directly to the Payroll Lead NL and collaborate daily to secure accurate payroll and efficient workflows.
