About The Role

As a Payroll & Benefits Analyst, you are responsible for delivering accurate, timely, and compliant payroll and benefits execution across Malaysia and selected overseas entities.

This is a high-precision, high-trust role. You will own end-to-end payroll processing, statutory compliance, vendor coordination, and payroll controls—ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time, every cycle, without exception. You will work closely with People Ops, HRBPs, Finance, and external vendors as BJAK continues to scale across markets.

Perform payroll checks, reconciliations, and validations prior to payout, maintaining strong internal controls and audit-ready documentation.
Process salary adjustments, promotions, bonuses, allowances, and ad-hoc payments with full accuracy and confidentiality.
Coordinate and manage payroll vendors, regional payroll partners, and EOR providers—validating outputs, resolving discrepancies, and enforcing SLAs.
Prepare payroll reports, reconciliations, and documentation for HR, Finance, and management, supporting audits, budgeting, and compensation analysis.
Identify gaps or inefficiencies in payroll workflows and support improvements in SOPs, automation, and HRIS integration.

What You Will Need

Strong understanding of Malaysian payroll legislation and statutory requirements.
Hands-on experience with payroll systems, HRIS tools, and spreadsheets.
High attention to detail, accuracy, and strong problem-solving ability.
Proven ability to handle confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
Strong coordination skills to work effectively with HR, Finance, and external vendors.
A proactive mindset with a focus on continuous process improvement.
