PRA have been engaged to appoint a Director to lead multiple complex payroll remediation and wage compliance engagements within a nationally recognised advisory practice.

This is not a BAU payroll role. This is large-scale, regulator-facing, data-heavy remediation at the enterprise level.

If you have led multi-million-dollar remediation programs, engaged directly with regulators, and built advanced payroll data models — this is the brief.

The Mandate:

You will own the technical leadership of complex payroll remediation engagements across:
  • Award & EBA interpretation reviews
  • Superannuation guarantee remediation
  • Leave accrual recalculations
  • Employee progression adjustments
  • Enforceable undertakings
  • Large-scale FBT modelling
You will lead executive discussions, shape regulatory strategy, and direct advanced analytics teams delivering high-stakes outcomes. This role sits at the intersection of compliance, analytics, tax and executive advisory.

What Success Looks Like:
  • You’ve led enterprise payroll remediation engagements end-to-end
  • You’ve engaged directly with the ATO and/or Fair Work
  • You can interrogate millions of rows of payroll data with confidence
  • You build models — not just review them
  • You influence C-suite stakeholders with clarity and authority
  • You develop and elevate high-performing analytics teams
Technical Depth Required:

This is a hands-on leadership. You must bring advanced capability in:
  • SQL (complex joins, reconciliation logic, data interrogation)
  • Alteryx (workflow automation and transformation logic)
  • R or equivalent analytical programming
  • RPA exposure
  • Tableau or Power BI
  • AI-enabled analytics (Copilot, generative AI tools)
  • 9+ years in payroll analytics or remediation is expected.
  • A professional services or consulting background is highly regarded.
Why This Role Is Different:
  • National remit
  • Executive exposure
  • Regulator-facing engagements
  • Genuine leadership platform
  • Flexible location across Australia
  • Clear progression pathway
Remuneration is competitive and negotiable for the right profile.

If you are currently operating at Senior Manager or Director level within a Big Four, mid-tier advisory, or specialist remediation firm — and want a larger platform — I would welcome a confidential discussion.
