About The Position

We are seeking a stand alone Senior Payroll Administrator who enjoys turning complexity into clarity. This role is ideal for someone who has stepped into legacy payroll environments and successfully modernized processes, improved reporting, and introduced smarter, more efficient ways of working.

Nice To Haves

• Serve as the ADP subject matter expert and trusted partner to internal stakeholders
• Improve payroll and labour cost reporting, connecting data to business decisions
• Navigate unionized and non-union environments and apply collective agreements accurately
