At ATB, we exist to make it possible for our clients, team members and communities. Our purpose is more than aspirational. It's a real commitment we live every day through our values (what we call the ATB ID).

About

Life at ATB is about more than work. In fact, we’re consistently recognized as one of Canada's top employers thanks to our high-care, high-performance culture, upheld by the three commitments we make to our team members:

Impact in action: No matter where you are in the organization, you're empowered to make an impact in the lives of our clients and communities.

Thrive together: We want you—the unique, authentic you—to feel safe and celebrated at work. We're on a continuous journey to build the most flexible and inclusive programs.

Ready for tomorrow: We want to enable your success through interesting and challenging work, performance enablement, and learning and development.

About The Role

This position has a hybrid work arrangement. On average, this means 1 day on-site per week. Please note that this is subject to change due to business priorities.

We are looking for an experienced Systems Analyst to join our team as technical support for our SAP SuccessFactors (EC Payroll) environment. This role is designed for a proactive professional who understands the Canadian payroll lifecycle and wants to play a hands-on role in shaping our system's capabilities.

Accountabilities

Rather than just maintaining the status quo, you will work closely with our Payroll team and internal stakeholders to design technical solutions, implement system enhancements, and ensure our technology is scaling alongside our business.

Yearly Payroll Cycle & Compliance

Annual Lifecycle Execution: Lead the technical readiness for the Canadian payroll year, including the configuration of New Year tax rate updates (CPP/QPP, EI). Maintain system performance and compliance by monitoring and applying support packs in a timely manner. Year-End Filing Mastery: Support the system-side execution of T4, T4A, and RL-1 processes. This includes performing data validation runs, troubleshooting filing errors, and ensuring the final transmission to the CRA and Revenu Québec is successful. System Maintenance: Configure, support and optimize key payroll processes, including gross-to-net calculations, tax reporting, garnishments, third party remittances, postings to FI system, year end activities, and accrual setups.

Technical Solutions & System Enhancements

Solution Design: Translate complex payroll requirements into technical specifications. You won't just identify problems; you will design and implement enhancements within EC Payroll to automate manual work. Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify "pain points" in the current system setup and propose configuration changes or new features to streamline the payroll experience. Release Management: Evaluate bi-annual SuccessFactors updates to identify new functionalities that could benefit the Canadian payroll function. Lead the testing and deployment of these features.

Collaboration & Partnership

Payroll Team Liaison: Act as the primary technical partner to the Payroll team, helping them understand "under the hood" system logic and supporting them through complex pay scenarios. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Finance, IT, and HR teams to ensure end-to-end payroll process efficiency and seamless integration with downstream systems (e.g., General Ledger or Third-Party providers). Vendor & Internal Alignment: Work alongside internal technical architects or external consultants to ensure all system enhancements align with our broader HRIS roadmap and security standards.

Required

Skills, experience & requirements

Experience: Typically 3+ years in a Payroll Systems or HRIS role, with demonstrated intermediate-level proficiency in independent configuration in SAP SuccessFactors (EC Payroll). Benefits and Pension experience would be an asset. Education: SAP SuccessFactors EC Payroll certification an asset. Canadian Payroll Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge of the Canadian payroll calendar, provincial tax regulations, and year-end statutory reporting. Google Proficiency: Comfortable using Google Workspace for documentation, and collaborative data review.

Soft Skills

Relationship Builder: Ability to translate technical "system speak" into clear, actionable information for our Payroll and Finance partners. Problem Solver: A "can-do" attitude toward technical challenges and a desire to build long-term solutions rather than quick fixes.

Don’t meet all the requirements on the list?

A resume only goes so far in expressing who you are and the unique perspectives you bring. If you believe your skills and experience align with the role—but you might not check all the boxes—we want to hear from you. We encourage candidates from all work backgrounds, equity-seeking communities and experience levels to apply. If you’re seeking a career where your drive, perspective and growth are celebrated, we want to hear from you.

We’re dedicated to building a workforce reflective of those within our communities, and a culture where our team members are equipped with what they need to succeed—their way. Part of creating an inclusive workplace is recognizing our role in advancing Truth and Reconciliation. We are committed to meeting and exceeding the standards set out in the Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations program created by the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business.
