Robert Half is proud to partner with a well-respected, purpose-driven non-profit organisation in York to recruit a dedicated Payroll Manager. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by contributing to an organisation committed to improving lives and fostering positive change.

We are searching for an experienced payroll professional to manage, develop, and optimise payroll services as part of a Group Shared Services function. You will oversee a skilled team and ensure compliance with statutory regulations, while also driving continuous improvement and process efficiency.

About The Role

As the Payroll Manager, you will report directly to the Head of Group Shared Services and lead a small team (Payroll Team Leader, Payroll Officer, and Payroll Assistant). Your primary focus will be on ensuring timely and accurate payroll delivery while leveraging system improvements to create streamlined, efficient processes.

Key Responsibilities Will Include

Taking overall ownership of the organisation's HR/Payroll system, ensuring it operates smoothly and aligns with organisational needs.
Managing payroll operations to ensure employees are consistently paid on time and in line with agreed service standards.
Staying ahead of compliance and regulatory requirements, driving updates to meet evolving payroll regulations, including HMRC submissions (P60s, P11Ds, PSA) and other essential reporting (e.g., Gender Pay Gap).
Continually optimising payroll processes, including simplification and automation solutions, while expanding self-service capabilities for employees.
Leading the implementation of the annual pay award efficiently and effectively.
Acting as a key business partner, working with internal stakeholders and external partners to deliver overall payroll objectives.
Creating a high-performing team culture through leadership and development initiatives.

About You

We're looking for a passionate and knowledgeable individual with significant experience in payroll management. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on improving processes, managing systems, and leading teams.

Key Experience And Qualifications

Proven track record in payroll management or administration, covering its practical application and compliance with legislation.
Knowledge and understanding of PAYE, NIC, SSP, and SMP processes.
Hands-on experience with HR/Payroll systems, with a keen focus on leveraging technology for process improvement.
Strong interpersonal and leadership skills, including experience leading teams in a collaborative environment.
Analytical skills, particularly within Excel (advanced formulas/data manipulation).
A CIPP qualification (or equivalent) is desirable but not essential.

Key Competencies And Behaviours

Exceptional attention to detail and problem-solving skills with a strategic mindset.
The ability to influence, engage, and collaborate with stakeholders at all levels.
A commitment to fostering an inclusive work culture and upholding organisational values.

Company Culture and Values

This organisation is proud to create a workplace that embodies its values of integrity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. You will be joining a supportive team that is committed to furthering its inclusive practices, improving services, and making a positive impact.

We are looking for someone to step in as the current job owner is leaving the business so this role will certainly begin on an interim basis and as such you will need to be available on no or a short notice period. The office has parking or is very accessible via public transport links - hybrid will be considered.
