The Company

Our client is a professional services company operating in the healthcare sector, with a presence across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The organisation supports public and private healthcare clients through a broad range of workforce and operational services.

The Role

Following a recent system implementation, the team requires an experienced Senior Payroll Officer to provide immediate support through testing and early-stage process issues.

• Resolving payroll and timesheet queries promptly, including speaking directly with employees and stakeholders where required
• Completing payroll tax and workers compensation reporting
• Investigating and correcting payroll issues arising from the recent system change
• Maintaining and updating rate cards across multiple states and client sites
• Working across Salesforce with exposure to upcoming digital timesheet improvements

Your Background

To be considered for this Senior Payroll Officer opportunity, you will bring:

• Immediate availability and demonstrated experience managing complex, high-volume payroll
• Strong award interpretation skills; experience with complex awards and enterprise arrangements will be highly regarded
• A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to move between BAU processing and project support
• Confidence resolving queries, investigating timesheet issues and communicating directly by phone
• A proactive, direct and personable working style suited to a fast-paced professional services environment
• Experience with Xero, Salesforce or 2cloud9 is advantageous

This is an initial 4–6 month temporary assignment with potential longer-term opportunity.
