About The Role

As an Italy Payroll Analyst, you will be responsible for administering and overseeing the end-to-end payroll process for our Italy population. You’ll partner closely with HR, Finance, Employment Tax, Legal and our external payroll providers to ensure accurate, compliant and timely payroll delivery.

This is an individual contributor role requiring strong technical expertise in Italian payroll legislation, statutory compliance and employee taxation. You will act as the Italy Payroll Subject Matter Expert (SME), ensuring robust payroll governance, maintaining high standards of accuracy and supporting continuous improvement across our Workday and CloudPay payroll ecosystem.

You will also play an important role in identifying opportunities to simplify, automate and improve payroll processes, while supporting wider global payroll initiatives and projects.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead the end-to-end Italy payroll process — from data preparation, validation and payroll inputs through to review, reconciliation and final sign-off, ensuring accurate and timely payroll delivery.
• Act as the Italy Payroll SME, providing expert guidance on Italian payroll legislation, taxation, statutory requirements and payroll best practice.
• Support other payroll entities within the team where required, contributing to the successful delivery of the wider global payroll operation.

Requirements

• 3+ years of progressive payroll experience, including significant experience managing Italian payroll and statutory compliance.
• Strong technical knowledge of Italian payroll legislation, employment taxation, social security and statutory requirements.
• Experience managing or overseeing outsourced payroll providers, ideally within a multinational or international organisation.
• Experience with Workday and/or CloudPay is preferred but not essential.
• Proven ability to manage the full payroll lifecycle, including payroll inputs, validation, reconciliation, sign-off and statutory reporting.
• Strong understanding of payroll controls, governance, audit requirements and data integrity.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a high level of attention to detail.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively across HR, Finance, Tax, Legal and external vendors.
• Demonstrated ability to identify and deliver process improvements, automation and operational efficiencies.
• Experience supporting payroll system implementations, integrations, testing or transformation projects is desirable.
• Advanced Excel skills, with the ability to perform detailed payroll reconciliations, analyse large datasets and identify discrepancies.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of deliverables and confidently challenge processes or data where required.
• Fluent Italian and strong English communication skills are highly desirable.
