Jambunathan Subramanian Viliannur (Jambu)

Strategic Global Payroll Leader with 26+ years of experience directing U.S. and international payroll operations across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. I specialize in building scalable payroll frameworks, strengthening SOX/SOC1 controls, leading equity payroll, and driving transformation across high‑growth, compliance‑heavy environments. My background spans SAP ECC/S4, SuccessFactors EC/ECP, Workday‑integrated payroll ecosystems, and global vendor governance. I’ve delivered measurable results across multiple Fortune‑level organizations, including completing a full parallel payroll cycle 30% faster than plan, resolving multi‑year payroll defects impacting thousands of employees, redesigning enterprise pay statements, and leading payroll integration workstreams for mergers, divestitures, and global expansions. I bring deep expertise in payroll accounting, tax governance, equity compensation (RSUs, NSOs, ISOs, ESPP), and multi‑country compliance. I’m seeking a fully remote or remote‑first Director / Senior Director of Payroll role where I can lead global payroll strategy, elevate operational accuracy, modernize systems and controls, and build high‑performing teams that deliver a world‑class employee experience.
