About the Role

Turium AI is looking for an experienced, implementation-certified SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll (ECP) Consultant to join our Hyderabad team and support the design, configuration, implementation and ongoing improvement of enterprise payroll solutions.

This is a hands-on Employee Central Payroll consulting role. We are looking for someone with strong practical experience implementing and configuring ECP, working directly with payroll stakeholders, resolving complex payroll issues and taking ownership across the full implementation lifecycle.

This is not a general SuccessFactors role or a position focused primarily on high-level architecture, documentation or project coordination.

You will work across SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll, Employee Central, payroll integrations and Turium AI products, helping customers modernise and automate complex payroll processes. You will collaborate with teams across India and Australia and support major enterprise transformation programs.

- Investigate payroll defects, identify root causes and implement sustainable solutions.
- Support statutory and regulatory payroll requirements.
- Prepare configuration workbooks, functional specifications, process documentation and test materials.
- Support payroll data migration, cleansing, validation and reconciliation.
- Design and support integrations between ECP and finance, banking, time, benefits and third-party systems.
- Work with APIs, SAP Integration Suite, middleware and technical integration teams.
- Perform unit, system and integration testing and support payroll parallel testing and UAT.
- Support payroll cutover, go-live, hypercare and post-production stabilisation.




- Support payroll year-end and other critical payroll processing activities where required.
- Deliver customer demonstrations, training and knowledge-transfer sessions.
- Coordinate with distributed delivery teams across Hyderabad, Australia and other locations.
- Identify opportunities to automate payroll and HR processes using Turium AI products and capabilities.

Required Experience

- At least four years of hands-on Employee Central Payroll experience.
- Current SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll certification or equivalent relevant SAP payroll certification.
- Experience delivering at least two end-to-end Employee Central Payroll implementations, migrations or major upgrades.
- Strong hands-on configuration experience in Employee Central Payroll.
- Strong understanding of the integration between Employee Central and Employee Central Payroll.
- Solid knowledge of payroll processes, payroll calculations and employee lifecycle events affecting payroll.
- Experience with payroll schemas, PCRs, wage types and payroll configuration.

- Experience supporting customers across Australia, India or other international markets.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for a genuine Employee Central Payroll specialist, rather than a general SuccessFactors consultant with limited exposure to payroll.

You should be comfortable getting directly into the system, analysing payroll results, configuring payroll functionality and working through complex payroll issues.

You will need to communicate confidently with payroll teams, HR stakeholders, finance teams, developers and integration specialists and take ownership from requirements gathering and configuration through testing, parallel payroll, go-live and post-production support.

You should bring:

- Deep practical understanding of payroll.
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
- A structured approach to diagnosing payroll issues.
- Confidence working directly with customers and payroll stakeholders.
- A willingness to take accountability for delivery outcomes.
- The ability to work effectively across distributed teams.
- Curiosity about how AI and automation can improve payroll operations.

Why Join Turium AI?

- Work on major enterprise payroll and transformation programs.
- Combine SAP Employee Central Payroll expertise with advanced AI and automation capabilities.
- Collaborate with delivery teams across India and Australia.
- Work directly with senior customer, HR and payroll stakeholders.
- Help shape intelligent payroll and workforce solutions.
- Join a fast-growing Australian AI and enterprise technology company with a growing Hyderabad delivery capability.
