Oversee error-handling frameworks, monitoring dashboards, and secure data exchange mechanisms.
Functional Expertise & CrossTeam Collaboration
Apply strong functional knowledge of SAP Payroll, PCC, and HCM process flows to support integration design and troubleshooting.
Work collaboratively with Payroll, Time, FI/CO, Benefits, and Infrastructure leads to ensure endtoend alignment.
Support issue resolution during payroll cycles; act as an escalation point for integration-related inquiries.
Documentation, Governance & Communication
Create and maintain IDDs, technical specifications, test scripts, integration catalogs, and support documentation.
Communicate proactively with stakeholders, providing clear updates on risks, dependencies, and mitigation plans.
Maintain compliance with integration SDLC standards, audit, and data security requirements.
