Tokyo Tenth Revolution Group

Japan Payroll Implementation Consultant

Global Payroll Project | Hybrid (Tokyo, Japan)

Only English Speaking is fine, Japanese is good to have

Join a global rollout and take ownership of Japan Payroll at the core of a multinational transformation.

We are supporting a global enterprise client in their Japan Payroll system implementation, as part of a wider international rollout. This role focuses on end-to-end delivery for the Japan entity (approx. 820 employees, single legal entity), covering implementation, migration, Go-Live, and Hyper Care.

While SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll (Japan) is the target system, SAP experience is NOT mandatory. Professionals with solid Japan Payroll and HR / Payroll system implementation experience from other platforms are very welcome.

This is a consulting-style role where you will bridge Japan-specific payroll regulations and global HR technology.

  • Collaborate closely with global PMs and overseas consultants
  • Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders across Japan and global teams
