• Carry out trend analysis on indirect wage lines, proactively identifying risks and opportunities.
• Support the production of budgets and forecasts, including building the group wage budget from the bottom up and reporting weekly performance from the top down.
• Reconcile wage control balance sheets, ensuring weekly pay postings align with monthly payroll.
• Partner with workforce management and IT teams to analyse wage performance and drive improvements in reporting.
