At BMC Helix, we don’t do ordinary. We’re the AI-native engine behind the world’s most forward-thinking IT organizations, helping them focus on what matters most. What are we passionate about? We're here to reset the economics of enterprise IT and help others realize the ROI of AI.

We are a mix of curious minds, creative thinkers, and courageous builders who believe tech should change the game—not just play it. We celebrate wins, support each other, and laugh a lot.

We are the change makers. With decades of leadership and established trust in IT service and operations management, we’re scaling with purpose—through organic innovation, strategic acquisitions, and relentless R&D.

We are laser-focused on delivering real value to our customers by accelerating innovation and the application of applying agentic AI in digital service and operations management for IT organizations around the world.
We are seeking a Senior Payroll Analyst to join our global payroll team of five professionals. Based in Spain or the UK, you will play a key role in managing payroll operations across multiple EMEA countries, with primary responsibility for Spain, UK, France, and Portugal payrolls. You will also act as a backup for other EMEA payrolls, supporting the delivery of a seamless, compliant, and employee-focused payroll experience across the region.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced payroll professional to step into a high-impact regional role in a global organization, where you’ll combine hands-on delivery with process optimization, compliance expertise, and vendor management.

  • Act as the regional subject matter expert for assigned payrolls and provide back-up support for other EMEA payrolls
Process Improvement & Technology
  • Partner with the global payroll team to identify and implement process improvements and automation opportunities
  • Leverage payroll technologies and tools (experience with ADP Streamline a plus) to drive efficiency, scalability, and accuracy
  • Champion continuous improvement and standardization across EMEA payroll operations
Compliance & Audit
  • Support internal, external, and statutory audits with accurate documentation and timely responses
  • Stay current on local legislation, taxation changes, and employment regulations across assigned payrolls

  • 7+ years of progressive multi-country payroll experience, with strong expertise in UK and/or Spain payroll; experience in France and Portugal is highly desirable
  • Deep understanding of EMEA payroll regulations, compliance, and statutory reporting requirements
  • Hands-on experience with global payroll platforms (e.g., ADP, Workday, SAP, Ceridian); ADP Streamline strongly preferred
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills; able to collaborate across HR, Finance, and external vendors
  • Self-starter with a continuous improvement mindset, comfortable working in a matrixed global environment
  • Fluency in English required; additional European languages (Spanish, French, Portuguese) a plus

Why Join Us?
