Payroll Transformation Consultant | Global Payroll Programme | 12-Month Contract | Inside IR35
We're supporting a global organisation on a major European payroll transformation programme and are looking for an experienced Payroll Transformation Consultant to lead delivery.
This is a senior, hands-on programme role focused on consolidating multiple payroll providers into a single global payroll platform across more than 10 European countries. You'll own delivery from planning through to successful country-by-country implementation, working with senior HR, Finance and Tax stakeholders to ensure a seamless transition with zero disruption to employees.
Key responsibilities:
- Lead an end-to-end multi-country payroll transformation programme.
- Manage the migration from multiple incumbent payroll providers to a single global solution.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with senior stakeholders across HR, Finance, Tax and local country teams.
- Identify and mitigate programme risks while driving delivery to agreed timelines.
- Ensure business continuity and a smooth employee experience throughout the transformation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
