Top 5 Strategic Contributions for Payroll & Payroll Accounting

1. Establish a Unified Framework of Governance & Control

This role will create a single source of truth for how payroll is run, creating clarity and reducing risk for both operations and accounting teams.

• For Payroll Ops: Clear SOPs, escalation paths, and defined controls reduce ambiguity and prevent errors.
• For Payroll Accounting: A robust control framework and segregation of duties ensure the integrity of data flowing into the General Ledger (GL), making reconciliations smoother and more reliable.
• Result: A standardized, audit-ready environment that builds confidence with Finance and Internal Audit. 

2. Drive Data-Driven Performance Management with SLAs & KPIs

The manager will move the organization from reactive problem-solving to proactive performance management by implementing a clear metrics framework.

• For Payroll Ops: Metrics like First-Time-Right and retro correction rates directly measure process quality and pinpoint areas for improvement.
• For Payroll Accounting: Shared metrics on payroll accuracy provide an early warning system for potential accounting issues, allowing for proactive resolution before the books are closed.
• Result: Objective performance visibility that aligns both teams on shared goals of accuracy and timeliness.

3. Embed Continuous Improvement (CI) to Eliminate Manual Work & Rework

This role will systematically identify and eliminate the root causes of inefficiency that plague both departments.

• For Payroll Ops: Targeting high-volume manual tasks and error-prone steps directly reduces the operational burden and frees up capacity.
• For Payroll Accounting: Reducing rework and errors in payroll processing means fewer correcting journals and less time spent investigating discrepancies.
• Result: A more efficient function with lower costs, faster cycle times, and less frustration for both teams.

4. Champion Strategic Automation and Technology Optimization

The manager will act as a key driver for leveraging technology to create a seamless flow of accurate data from HR to Payroll to Accounting.

• For Payroll Ops: Identifying automation opportunities for data validation, report generation, and payment processing.
• For Payroll Accounting: Ensuring system upgrades and new tools are designed with seamless payroll-to-GL reconciliation in mind, automating data feeds wherever possible.
• Result: Reduced manual intervention, minimized risk of human error, and a more streamlined E2E process. 

5. Serve as the Central Hub for Vendor & Project Governance

This role ensures that external partners and internal projects deliver value and adhere to the organization's standards, rather than creating new problems.

• For Payroll Ops: Rigorous vendor SLA management and QBRs ensure service quality and hold partners accountable.
• For Payroll Accounting: By acting as the payroll SME on projects (e.g., system changes, new country expansions), the manager ensures that accounting requirements for controls and data integrity are "baked in" from the start, not added as an afterthought.
• Result: Successful, low-risk implementations and a predictable, high-quality service from vendors.

About the role: 

The Comms Strategist is a central, autonomous role in the Beauty AI Studio. You'll move between cultural analysis, strategic direction, and copy execution — using generative AI not just as a production tool, but as a core part of how you think, build, and deliver.

Based in Thailand in a hybrid office-based environment, you'll own client briefs end-to-end across three markets: from decoding local beauty culture and shaping strategy, to co-creating content with AI and refining it to Unilever's brand and quality standards. The role requires the ability to hold multiple market contexts simultaneously — understanding what makes a beauty consumer in Thailand distinct — while maintaining consistent brand integrity across Dove, TRESemmé, Pond's, Simple, and the broader Unilever Beauty & Wellbeing portfolio. You'll work closely with creative, data, and production teams, and collaborate directly with Unilever clients on local vernacular and market-specific language needs.

What you will be doing: 

• Decode beauty and wellness culture across Thailand — micro-trends, rituals, subcultures, and platform aesthetics — and translate observations into market-specific strategic insight and creative opportunity for Dove, TRESemmé, Pond's, Simple, and other Unilever Beauty & Wellbeing brands
• Conduct AI-powered cultural, consumer, and competitive analysis across all three markets to inform strategy and content direction

• Craft brand and campaign strategies grounded in real beauty behaviours, local platform dynamics, and market-specific audience expectations
• Use generative AI tools to co-create social scripts, campaign narratives, brand stories, and content ideas — refining outputs to meet each brand's tone of voice and the expectations of TH audiences
• Build multi-layered messaging frameworks and content systems that flex across brands, markets, and platforms without losing coherence or brand integrity
• Collaborate directly with Unilever clients on vernacular requirements, ensuring content feels locally authentic and culturally resonant in each market
• Design and deploy AI workflows — including agent chaining — to produce content calendars, performance variants, and market-tailored tone modulations across all three markets
• Lead day-to-day strategic and copy development with clarity, rigour, and consistent quality control
• Present ideas, insights, and AI-enhanced work to Unilever stakeholders across markets with authority and confidence
• Collaborate with creative, data, and production teams to deliver cohesive, high-quality outputs
• Continuously prototype new AI workflows, test emerging tools, and bring new capabilities into the team's practice
• Ensure responsible, ethical application of AI across all deliverables, with consistent human oversight

What you need to be great in this role: 

Strategy and cultural intelligence:

• Proven ability to develop social-first strategy and copy for beauty, wellness, or personal care brands — experience with Unilever brands such as Dove, TRESemmé, Pond's, or Simple, or broader FMCG beauty experience, is an advantage
• Experience working across multiple markets, with the ability to identify and interpret local beauty trends, consumer behaviours, and platform dynamics in the Thailand market.
• Experience crafting brand narratives, campaign frameworks, and content systems for diverse, multi-market beauty audiences
• Confidence presenting strategy and creative work to clients and senior stakeholders, including cross-market teams

Beauty and copy craft:

• Deep familiarity with beauty language — texture, ritual, transformation, sensory detail — and the ability to write with precision for diverse audiences across different cultural and market contexts
• Ability to shift tone across platforms, formats, markets, and brand identities — from Dove's inclusive warmth to the performance-led energy of TRESemmé — while maintaining quality and brand integrity
• Experience collaborating with clients or local market teams on vernacular, localisation, and culturally specific language needs
• Strong editorial judgement and rigorous quality control when refining AI-generated content
• English fluency is essential

Platform and performance:

• Expert knowledge of social platforms: formats, tone, algorithm behaviour, creator dynamics — with awareness of how these vary across the TH markets
• Experience using AI tools for cultural, consumer, and competitive analysis
• Familiarity with data interpretation and performance optimisation in a social content context

Gen AI & Agentic Thinking:

• Advanced proficiency with generative AI tools for writing, ideation, insight generation, and content production
• Experience designing AI-assisted workflows — including agent chaining — for multi-step content and strategy tasks
• Ability to design, document, and share reusable prompts, workflows, and templates
• Experience guiding others on effective AI tool usage within a creative or strategy context
• Agentic approach to complex, multi-step and multi-market challenges: systematic, goal-oriented, and adaptable
• Critical understanding of AI capabilities and limitations, with rigorous human oversight applied throughout

This is a dual-function role — part client relationship management, part project coordination — requiring someone equally comfortable in a client conversation and a production schedule. You'll bring clarity to briefs, rigour to timelines, and accountability to delivery across beauty campaigns that span social, digital, and video formats.

You'll be responsible for the day-to-day health of your projects: tracking progress, consolidating feedback, managing expectations, overseeing quality control, and ensuring nothing is lost between local markets and hub-based creative teams.

What you will be doing: 

Client & Account Management

• Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for local market Unilever Beauty stakeholders, delivering responsive, proactive client service across the beauty portfolio
• Build trusted client relationships, translating Beauty category objectives into clear, actionable briefs that set the studio up for success
• Support the Account Director in managing broader account relationships, attending client meetings and ensuring actions are captured and followed through
• Develop a genuine understanding of the Beauty category — consumer trends, platform behaviour, and content formats that resonate with beauty audiences
• Identify and flag opportunities to improve client service, workflow, or output quality

Project Coordination & Delivery

• Coordinate end-to-end project delivery at a local market level, owning timelines, deliverable tracking, and stakeholder alignment across Beauty campaigns
• Act as the central liaison between local market Beauty clients and hub-based creative teams — ensuring briefs are clear, feedback is consolidated, and creative outputs meet local market requirements
• Manage project timing plans across multiple concurrent workstreams, proactively identifying risks or delays and escalating to the Account Director
• Partner with studio and production teams to sequence workloads and maintain delivery momentum across beauty content pipelines
• Keep all project documentation — briefs, status reports, feedback loops — accurate, current, and accessible to all relevant stakeholders
• Support the Account Director in reporting on project status across the local Beauty market portfolio
• Ensuring the work delivered is of the highest standard by managing robust quality control protocols. 

Financial Management

• Support accurate and timely billing, tracking project finances and reporting revenue to the Account Director
• Develop working knowledge of project profitability; flag financial risks early
• Raise and track purchase orders; support invoice management in line with studio processes

Content & Channel Awareness

• Develop a strong working understanding of social media platforms, digital content formats, and production requirements relevant to Unilever's Beauty category
• Support the development and coordination of content strategies across relevant platforms, including online reputation management (ORM) activity suited to beauty brand environments
• Stay curious about beauty consumer culture, platform trends, and emerging content formats that could strengthen campaign delivery

What you need to be great in this role: 

• Experience in an account management, project management, or client-facing production role — agency, in-house, or client-side
• Exposure to beauty, personal care, or FMCG brand environments — understanding of the category, its consumers, and its content demands
• Confidence managing multiple projects simultaneously with strong organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail
• Clear, proactive communication with clients and internal teams; able to manage expectations and keep diverse stakeholders aligned
• Ability to work effectively across time zones and coordinate with hub-based creative teams in a multi-market environment
• Solid understanding of content production workflows — from brief to delivery — across digital, social, and video formats relevant to beauty
• Familiarity with project management tools and production tracking systems
• Commercial awareness: understanding of billing processes, project budgets, and profitability
• Experience working within or alongside in-house studio environments is beneficial

Gen AI & Agentic Thinking

• Growing proficiency with Gen AI tools relevant to account management and content workflows
• Curiosity about how AI can improve project coordination, brief quality, and delivery efficiency
• Willingness to build prompting skills and develop AI-assisted ways of working

Agentic mindset: ability to break down complex, multi-market delivery challenges into clear, manageable steps and find efficient paths forward

The Opportunity

This is not a customer‑facing Product role. This position sits within Agoda’s Tax team under the broader Finance organization, focusing on internal finance and tax platforms that enable compliance, automation, and scalable operations.

As a Finance Systems Product Manager / Senior Specialist (Tax Technology), you will play a critical role in the design, implementation, and ongoing operation of Agoda’s tax technology stack, with a strong focus on indirect tax engines and compliance enablement.

Instead, you will act as a hands‑on tax systems and solutions partner, working closely with Finance, Accounting, Product, Engineering, Legal, and senior stakeholders, as well as sister brands and our US parent company.

This is a systems‑first, highly practical role at the intersection of tax, data, and technology. You will translate complex tax requirements into scalable system logic, contributing directly to Agoda’s compliance, automation, and risk‑mitigation agenda in a fast‑growing, platform‑driven environment.

As Agoda continues to evolve, the scope of this role may expand. You will be expected to adapt, grow, and take on new responsibilities as the organization and regulatory landscape change.

Indirect Tax Compliance Enablement

• Ensure tax systems are correctly configured to support indirect tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Embed system support for digital tax requirements such as e‑invoicing, real‑time reporting, and jurisdiction‑specific mandates
• Support the Tax team during audits and inquiries by ensuring accurate system outputs, traceability, and audit readiness

Tax Data, Controls & Governance

• Support the definition and maintenance of tax‑relevant data models, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and usability across systems
• Work with Tax, Finance, and Technology teams to design and test automated tax controls embedded within systems and processes
• Document tax processes, system logic, and data flows to support governance, transparency, and control frameworks

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Act as a Tax Technology Subject Matter Expert (SME) within the Finance function
• Translate tax requirements into clear, structured functional specifications and system logic that technology teams can build against
• Liaise with external vendors and implementation partners during system upgrades, integrations, and enhancements

• Identify opportunities to standardize, automate, and simplify tax processes through improved system design and usage
• Stay informed on indirect tax regulatory developments and assess their impact on existing tax technology solutions
