Job description

Location: Design & Support Centre, Sydney, NSW, AU

Date Posted: 27 October 2026

Most payroll roles ask you to run the same cycle, in the same system, for the same people, on repeat.

This one is different.

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract with genuine scope — supporting end-to-end payroll across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, the UK and South East Asia at a moment when King Living is actively investing in and transforming its payroll and HR technology.

You will not just be processing pay runs.

You will be contributing to data migration, systems preparation and a global ERP program that will shape how King Living pays its people for years to come.

If you are a payroll professional who takes genuine pride in accuracy, discretion and doing things right — and you want a contract that actually builds your career — this is the one worth applying for.

What You Will Own

Payroll Processing

Support end-to-end payroll processing across multiple regions and pay cycles — ensuring every team member is paid accurately and on time, every time.

Data & Systems

Contribute to data cleansing, validation and systems preparation as King Living continues to invest in and evolve its payroll and HR technology.

Compliance & Query Resolution

Support compliance with relevant payroll legislation and act as a first point of contact for employee pay queries — responding with professionalism, care and speed.

Reconciliation & Reporting

Assist with payroll reconciliations and reporting in support of Finance — including month end, year end and audit requirements.

Who You Are

You will likely come from an end-to-end payroll processing role — ideally with exposure to multi-region or multi-entity environments. What matters most is your accuracy, your ownership, and your ability to keep payroll running without exception.

You are a payroll professional who takes genuine pride in accuracy, discretion and getting things right every single time.

• End-to-end Australian payroll experience with sound working knowledge of Fair Work, modern awards, superannuation and PAYG
• NZ payroll experience highly regarded
• Experience operating cloud payroll platforms — Employment Hero experience highly regarded
• Experience with payroll data cleansing, validation or migration — SAP or SAP SuccessFactors exposure highly regarded
• Strong reconciliation, numeracy and advanced Excel skills
• Meticulous attention to detail with absolute discretion handling confidential employee data
• Able to work to tight pay cut-offs across multiple time zones with a high degree of ownership
• Exposure to multi-country payroll across SEA, NAM and UK is desirable
• Payroll qualification or certification such as the Australian Payroll Association is desirable
