About the Role

As a PeopleXD Payroll Consultant, you will own end-to-end payroll implementations on the Access Group PeopleXD platform. You will lead client engagements from discovery through go-live and hypercare, translating complex payroll rules into system configuration while managing client expectations.

Responsibilities

• Lead client discovery sessions to gather detailed payroll requirements, facilitating workshops from end-user to C-level stakeholders.
• Design and configure PeopleXD Payroll modules, translating business rules into system settings including pay calendars, approval workflows, and internal controls.
• Produce high-quality functional specifications and configuration documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
• Deliver implementations in line with Access Implementation Methodology (AIM), managing workstreams proactively to maintain time and budget.
• Support data migration activities including preparation and validation of migration templates to ensure data integrity.
• Configure reporting tools to automate manual processes and improve operational efficiency for clients.
• Support integrations with third-party finance systems and external applications, with exposure to SFTP and API-based connectivity.
• Plan and execute System Integration Testing (SIT) and provide structured UAT support, including end-to-end payroll parallel runs.
• Lead payroll parallel run validation, identifying and resolving discrepancies to ensure payroll accuracy before cutover.
• Manage cutover activities, go-live execution, and post-launch hypercare, ensuring a stable and confident transition for each client.
• Deliver training to HR, Payroll, and operational teams, ensuring high system adoption and client self-sufficiency post go-live.
• Identify optimisation opportunities and support clients through quarterly PeopleXD platform releases.
• Proactively recognise additional sales and upgrade opportunities, liaising with account managers to ensure client needs are met.
• Support the transition to post-go-live managed services, contributing to long-term client relationships.

Requirements

• 1–3 years of payroll experience, whether in-house processing, payroll administration, or a junior implementation or support role.
• Working knowledge of UK and/or Irish payroll legislation, including PAYE, statutory payments, and payroll controls.
• A methodical, detail-oriented approach — someone who takes accuracy seriously and follows issues through to resolution.
• Good communication skills and the ability to explain payroll concepts clearly to people who aren’t payroll specialists.
• Comfortable working with data and confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
