In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring payroll compliance across multiple European countries, with a primary focus on France, Spain, Italy, and Germany. You will proactively identify and mitigate payroll compliance risks, and lead responses to regulatory inspections and audits. You will also work with Payroll Tech stakeholders to build scalable process improvements and transformation mechanisms that raise the compliance bar and protect Amazon's employees and the business. This role offers a unique blend of regulatory depth, cross-border complexity, and technology-driven innovation — ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex compliance challenges at scale. This is a high-impact role that sits at the intersection of payroll operations, human resource, benefits and employment tax and legal. You will work across countries, and across functions to ensure that every employee is paid accurately and in full compliance with local laws. ### Key job responsibilities - Proactively monitor payroll compliance and regulatory updates at a regional level, communicate their impact on business and payroll operations and update policies accordingly. - Lead proactive compliance assessments across EMEA payroll operations, identifying risks in Social Security contributions, tax withholding, and statutory reporting before they become regulatory findings. - Design and implement EMEA-wide payroll compliance assessment frameworks with country-specific depth and regional consistency. - Manage responses to labor inspections, Social Security audits, and tax authority inquiries, coordinating with Legal, Payroll Operations, and external advisors. - Monitor legislative changes, court rulings, and regulatory guidance across assigned markets and translate them into country-specific operational guidance, process updates, system and control improvements — ensuring payroll calculation accuracy and compliance with applicable laws, policies, and collective bargaining agreements. - Partner with payroll vendors to validate system configurations, establish compliance checkpoints, and drive remediation of identified gaps. - Work with Product and Tech teams for automation initiatives and implement compliance control mechanisms that work across countries, legal entities, and payroll platforms - Partner with HR, Benefits, Legal, Employment Tax, Payroll Technology, and Product teams to develop and enhance existing payroll systems to meet payroll compliance requirements. - Produce clear, concise compliance risk assessments and present findings and recommendations to senior leadership. ### A day in the life Your primary focus will be ensuring payroll compliance across Western European countries, developing payroll risk control frameworks, payroll blueprints, and compliance rulebooks for mitigating risks, while assisting colleagues across the wider EMEA region. You will respond to stakeholders and/or employee requests on compliance questions, partner with tech colleagues to build AI solutions for risk assessments, and ensure payroll accuracy and compliance. You will join Payroll Product design PODs, where you share compliance requirements, develop self-service mechanisms using AI agents for compliance monitoring, bring new ideas, and learn new opportunities to improve payroll processes and controls. ### About the team The Global Payroll Compliance team within Amazon Finance Operations (FinOps) is a fast-paced, team-focused, dynamic environment. Our mission is to pay employees accurately and on time, every time, with highest controllership and compliance with all regulatory requirements.
