Act as the primary functional escalation point, facilitating trade-off: decisions between Payroll Ops, Legal, and vendor teams — owning the technical trade-off while deferring to Payroll Ops/Legal on compliance interpretation.
Partner with Program Management to identify and mitigate risks across migration waves.
Scope requirements with cross-functional stakeholders ahead of each phased: migration wave across the 12–15 country initial program.
