[Hiring] Global Time & Attendance Product Strategy Lead @Remote - Referral Board

Role Description

As the T&A Project Manager, you will ensure that Time & Attendance systems and processes across all countries are designed and implemented in line with statutory requirements, reducing compliance risk and supporting defensible audit outcomes. Your mission is to build compliance into every stage of T&A project delivery — ensuring all initiatives incorporate country-specific labor laws, working time regulations, collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), and payroll compliance requirements from initial design through go-live.

Acting as the central compliance liaison across T&A-related initiatives, you will:

• Translate legislative requirements into clear system controls.
• Coordinate audit responses.
• Establish governance frameworks that balance regulatory rigor with scalable delivery.

You will work closely with country compliance experts, Product, and Payroll Operations to ensure solutions are compliant by design — not reliant on reactive fixes.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with global payroll Time & Attendance systems (e.g., Workday Time Tracking, UKG, ADP, Ceridian Dayforce) across multiple jurisdictions.

• Knowledge of how collective bargaining agreements influence T&A configuration and operational processing.
• Ability to translate functional requirements into scalable system controls.

Requirements

• Ability to interpret labor legislation and translate statutory requirements into operational controls and system functionality.
• Experience coordinating audit responses and preparing compliance documentation for regulatory or internal review.
• Track record of identifying and mitigating compliance risks in multi-country environments.
• Comfortable operating in regulated environments where accuracy and defensible documentation are essential.
• Strong project management skills, with experience embedding compliance into agile or hybrid delivery frameworks.
• Ability to influence and align cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Operations, Implementation, Legal, Compliance) without direct authority.
• Experience establishing governance structures that balance risk management with business enablement.
• Able to work effectively in complex, matrixed global organizations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex regulatory requirements clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience creating structured documentation that withstands audit and regulatory scrutiny.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with country-based compliance experts and global stakeholders across time zones.
