• Produce clear documentation, reporting and control frameworks aligned to best practice

• Contribute to continuous improvement across payroll operations and system capability
• Travel to client sites or the company office on the rare occasion it is needed

What you will need:

• At least 3 years in payroll operations
• Solid understanding of payroll processes, compliance obligations and best practice
• Experience managing and updating payroll records in payroll systems
• Experience with Payroll, Time and Attendance, WFM, HCM or HRIS platforms
• Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Office skills, especially Excel
• Strong attention to detail, and the ability to prioritise and manage your workload
• Clear written and verbal communication, and confidence engaging with clients and stakeholders
• A positive, collaborative and resilient approach
• The ability to work independently and show initiative

Highly regarded

• Payroll certification or a formal payroll qualification
• Hands-on experience with one or more of Dayforce, Workday, UKG, ADP or Employment Hero, or similar platforms
• Familiarity with Agile tools such as Jira or Confluence
• Experience contributing to process or continuous improvement initiatives

What success looks like

• Deliver accurate and compliant payroll outcomes in complex environments
• Build strong, trusted relationships with clients and stakeholders
• Proactively identify risks and implement practical solutions
