Job description

Our London-based Payroll team is highly skilled in providing payroll services to internal stakeholders, closely collaborating with Regional and Global Operations, People and Culture, Finance, Tax, and Risk to ensure seamless payroll delivery.

You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone contributes ideas and drives outcomes.

What role will you play?

Using your first-class practical payroll expertise, you will provide payroll delivery for EMEA, supported by the Payroll Manager. You will handle business-as-usual activities, solve problems, resolve stakeholder and employee queries, and identify opportunities for process improvement and automation to reduce risk.

What you offer

• 3+ years of payroll experience, with a strong understanding of end-to-end payroll processes, calculations, disbursements, bank management, tax and social security withholding, and benefits administration across EMEA.
• Good technical knowledge of payroll legislation and regulations, including basic tax compliance.
• Proficiency in MS Office, especially Excel, with the ability to analyze large datasets for trends, discrepancies, and process improvements.
• Attention to detail and ability to manage competing priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
• Strong numeracy, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a global team.
