Payroll Manager

North Sydney | 5 Days in Office | Flexible Hours | Full-Time

Are you the kind of person who can smile through the chaos, hold your ground and still deliver flawless payroll? Then this is the challenge for you.

We're seeking a Payroll Manager who doesn't just "do the job" – but owns it.
This is a high-trust environment that needs someone who can take the reins, rebuild confidence in the function, and navigate complex industrial awards with both precision and courage.
You'll report to a Head of Finance who backs their people. You'll also work closely with HR and manage one direct report.

What You'll Actually Do
  • Manage full end-to-end payroll for 500+ staff under multiple awards and agreements
  • Own award interpretation – and be the SME who ensures compliance
  • Resolve the legacy issues – take charge of the clean-up and bring it into the now
  • Support HRIS and payroll system implementation projects
  • Work closely with HR to ensure accurate onboarding and employee lifecycle changes
  • Lead and mentor a Payroll Specialist
  • Deliver accurate and insightful payroll reporting, audits, reconciliations, and compliance
What You'll Need to Succeed
  • 10+ years of payroll experience, including leadership roles
  • Strong award interpretation and payroll legislation knowledge
  • Proven track record in managing complex payrolls with conflicting priorities
  • Ability to set clear boundaries, manage expectations, and keep calm under pressure
  • Systems savvy – HRIS and payroll implementation experience highly regarded
  • A customer service mindset – but with firm, professional delivery
What You'll Get
  • A workplace that values backbone, integrity, and quiet leadership
  • Flexibility around hours – choose a shift that suits your life
  • A clean slate to rebuild trust, reset expectations, and implement change
  • Long-term stability and the chance to make a visible, lasting impact
