I am attempting to add watermarks to a document using TikZ and LaTeX's hooks.
I have attempted to do by adapting @Skillmon's code from: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/615832/181010.
In doing so I arrived at the following:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\AddToHook{shipout/foreground}{%
\put(0.5\paperwidth,-0.5\paperheight){\mywatermark}%
}
\newcommand*\mywatermark{\usebox\mywatermarkbox}
\newsavebox\mywatermarkbox
\tikzset{mywatermark/.style={color=gray,
opacity=0.65,
rotate=#1,
font=\fontsize{60}{66}\selectfont\sffamily}}
\AtBeginDocument{%
\sbox\mywatermarkbox{%
\makebox[0pt]{\tikz\node[mywatermark=45]{GLOBAL MEGACORP};}%
}%
}
\usepackage{duckuments}
\begin{document}
\duckument
\end{document}
However, in increasing the font size the text no longer appears centered on the
page (see image below).
How could I adapt this code to ensure that the watermark is visually centered
on the page?
I suspect this issue is related to the point around which rotation is
performed. I have tried amending this point using the rotate around
key, but
to no avail.

A picture created by tikz has its baseline by default at the bottom. So if you rotate the node the baseline will be always at the lower left.
You can change the baseline with the baseline key:
