Descrição da oferta de emprego

Whether you are looking to step up into a broader regional remit or you are an experienced payroll leader seeking a more balanced, hands-on, and impactful role without heavy people-management overhead, this could be your ideal next move.

Based in our Matraville, Sydney office, we are looking for a National Senior Payroll Specialist to join our collaborative Corporate HR team. With a valued long-standing team member approaching retirement and our employee headcount across Australia and New Zealand projected to grow in 2027, we are strengthening our payroll and HR capability to support our next phase of growth and upcoming system implementations.

Working within our established payroll and HR structure, you will bring deep technical expertise, end-to-end payroll capability, and a strong customer-service mindset to ensure seamless payroll delivery while playing a key role in Remuneration & Benefits (Rem & Ben) initiatives.

About the Team

You will be embedded within a supportive, down-to-earth Pacific HR team—comprising the Cluster HR Manager, two HR Generalists/Admins, and our Payroll function—with a dotted line to the Finance Director. Together, we focus on driving positive employee and business outcomes through exceptional, personalised service delivery.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End Payroll & Compliance: Support and execute weekly and monthly payrolls across AU and NZ via insourced/outsourced systems. Manage superannuation contributions, payroll tax returns, statutory deductions, expense claims, and End of Financial Year (EOFY) procedures.

HR & Rem/Ben Integration: Partner closely with the Cluster HR Manager to create, implement, and maintain Remuneration and Benefits policies. Interpret Modern Awards and relevant industrial instruments, managing the critical crossover between HR and Payroll.

Employee Lifecycle & Onboarding: Oversee onboarding and offboarding payroll documentation, leave management, and act as the trusted point of contact for employee and stakeholder enquiries via the Payroll mailbox.

Systems, Reporting & Projects: Manage and maintain our Time & Attendance system, train managers and supervisors on system usage, and contribute your expertise to upcoming payroll/HRIS implementation projects.

Finance & WHS Collaboration: Process monthly general ledger (GL) journals (including leave accruals and payroll tax), provide key reporting to Finance, and collaborate with the WHS Manager on Workers’ Compensation calculations and processing.

What You Bring to the Role

Experience: Minimum of 2 years' experience in a senior, standalone, or leadership / supervisory payroll role covering Australia and/or New Zealand.

HR & Legislative Knowledge: Strong understanding of AU/NZ payroll legislation and Modern Award interpretation (in particular the Clerks - Private Sector Award & Road Transport & Distribution Award)

Technical Proficiency: Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and proven experience working with outsourced payroll providers and Time & Attendance platforms.

Service & Communication: Exceptional customer service orientation with strong interpersonal, relationship management, and influencing skills. You communicate clearly and empathetically with stakeholders at all levels.

Core Attributes: High attention to detail, strong analytical ability, integrity, accountability, and a self-sufficient, proactive approach to problem-solving.

Why Join Us?

High-Trust Environment: Enjoy the autonomy to manage complex regional payroll tasks and projects without micromanagement.

Impact Without the Red Tape: Focus on high-value technical payroll, Rem & Ben, and system projects in a mid- large sized, agile environment where your expertise is genuinely valued.

Cross-Functional Variety: Gain broad exposure across HR strategy, Finance, and WHS rather than being siloed in a purely transactional seat.

Supportive Culture: Join a close-knit, respectful team that values quality, honesty, and work-life balance.
