• Assist with EBA-related configuration updates, data validation and testing
• Monitor system performance and identify opportunities to improve efficiency
• Contribute system expertise to small projects and support payroll dependencies in larger programs
• Partner closely with Payroll, People Services, IT and vendors to ensure smooth integrations and system outcomes

About You:

• Proven experience working with Chris21 (essential)
• Solid background in payroll system administration within a medium-to-large organisation
• Strong understanding of end-to-end payroll processes, compliance and data integrity
• Confident troubleshooting configuration and system issues independently
