The focus is on controlling the monthly cycle, interpreting local requirements, resolving exceptions, and giving customers a clear view of their payroll results and responsibilities. The Monthly Cycle Before calculation, you will review submitted data and confirm that all expected changes have been received. You will question unusual values, coordinate missing information, and document agreed adjustments. After processing, you will assess the complete payroll result and authorize outputs only when the data is consistent and supported. Core activities include: Reviewing new hires, terminations, working time, leave, benefits, deductions, expenses, and variable pay. Checking preliminary tax, employer contribution, pension, and benefit calculations. Comparing payroll totals with approved inputs, control reports, and previous periods. Reviewing payment instructions and accounting entries before release. Coordinating Swedish declarations, remittances, reconciliations, and annual reporting. Supporting audits with organized records and clear calculation explanations. Applying legislative changes to working instructions and customer guidance. Managing Exceptions You will own payroll questions from initial investigation to documented resolution. This includes tracing variances to their source, assessing the impact on employees and reporting, agreeing corrective action, and confirming completion. Patterns in errors or late data should lead to practical preventive measures rather than repeated manual corrections. Customer Partnership International customers will depend on you to make Swedish payroll understandable. You will lead cycle-readiness discussions, summarize results, highlight risks, and keep open decisions moving. You will also identify requests beyond the contracted service and route them through the correct approval process. For newly launched accounts, you will support configuration review, parallel-run validation, and operational acceptance. Close cooperation with implementation, compliance, accounting, support, and product colleagues is essential. Service Development You will improve how the Sweden service operates by refining input templates, control reports, calendars, checklists, and knowledge materials. You will maintain a complete country playbook and cross-train a colleague who can cover time-sensitive activities when needed. Required Background Substantial hands-on experience with Swedish payroll delivery. Working knowledge of Swedish tax, employer contributions, pensions, benefits, and payroll reporting. Strong reconciliation and variance-analysis capability. Experience using payroll applications, Excel, payment files, and general-ledger outputs. Ability to explain technical payroll matters in direct, customer-friendly language. Experience in an outsourced, shared-service, or international payroll environment. Strong English communication and careful handling of confidential information. Relevant payroll, accounting, finance, HR, or business education is preferred. Performance Expectations The successful candidate will meet every approved payroll deadline, maintain at least 99.7% calculation accuracy, and complete Swedish reporting activities without avoidable delays. At least 95% of assigned cases should be closed within the service target. Within the first year, the role will introduce two preventive controls, validate all Sweden operating materials, and establish effective backup coverage for every assigned account.
