Global Payroll Technology & Transformation Senior Manager, EY GDS Spain, Hybrid

The opportunity

Join EY Global Payroll Operate and take a senior role in designing and delivering technology-enabled payroll solutions for complex, global and multi-country clients.

You will work at the intersection of Global Payroll, Payroll Technology and Transformation, translating client requirements into scalable solutions and leading initiatives across solution design, implementation, testing, go-live and transition to operations.

This is a specific and business-critical leadership role requiring a strong combination of global payroll knowledge, technology solutioning, client-facing consulting, commercial awareness and end-to-end implementation leadership.

You will lead technology solutioning from pre-sales and discovery through implementation and operational transition, while developing scalable delivery capabilities across Consultants, Configurators and general delivery teams.

Your key responsibilities

- Lead client discussions to understand requirements, define scope and translate business needs into scalable integral payroll technology solutions.
- Lead technology solutioning from pre-sales and discovery through design, implementation, go-live and transition to operations, supporting RFPs, RFIs, solution workshops, estimates, pricing, Statements of Work and client technology demonstrations.
- Drive multi-country payroll transformation and implementation across discovery, solution design, configuration, testing, go-live and transition to operations.




- Manage complex technology projects, coordinating client stakeholders and global EY technology, implementation and delivery teams.
- Oversee technology delivery across multiple concurrent clients, countries and implementation workstreams, balancing priorities, capacity, milestones, dependencies, risks and delivery commitments.
- Translate approved client requirements into clear technology requirements, solution decisions, configuration inputs, acceptance criteria and implementation actions.
- Maintain clear ownership between technology solutioning and configuration, with Technology Consulting owning the solution “what and why” and Configuration teams owning the technical build and “how.”
- Define and validate payroll integrations, interfaces and data flows, including inbound and outbound information, reporting, general ledger, banking and country-specific requirements.
- Lead solution design and governance across EY General Technology Tools (DigiPay, DataHub, PCC, EY Interact and SFTP), working across broader HCM, payroll, reporting, workflow and integration environments.
- Define and govern inbound-data requirements, validation rules, remediation processes, payroll orchestration, reporting requirements, system access and technology controls.




- Lead the technology testing strategy and go-live readiness, including system integration testing, user acceptance testing, parallel payroll validation, general ledger testing and production-readiness reviews, ensuring defects, risks, dependencies, acceptance criteria and key decisions are effectively governed.
- Lead technology readiness reviews and ensure unresolved risks, exceptions and workarounds are properly documented, assigned and approved before go-live.
- Manage client expectations and priorities while ensuring solutions follow scalable delivery and governance principles.
- Maintain strong commercial and delivery discipline by managing scope, assumptions, estimates, budgets, timelines and change control, and by identifying non-standard requirements with potential cost, effort or commercial implications.
- Support the preparation of technology estimates, pricing inputs, Statements of Work and service specifications, ensuring alignment between the agreed solution, delivery effort and commercial commitments.
- Monitor delivery performance and project financials, including resource utilization, budgets, billing, margin and financial variances, taking corrective action where required.
- Ensure technology implementations comply with EY quality, risk-management, data-handling and governance requirements while achieving agreed client outcomes.
- Lead, coach and develop Consultants and Configurators, strengthening capability, ownership, documentation quality and consistent ways of working across the Technology team.
- Improve implementation methodologies, standard operating procedures, starter kits, templates, testing assets and reusab
