Join to apply for the Payroll Team Leader role at Specsavers.

At Specsavers, we're proud to offer a supportive, driven, flexible and inclusive culture. We are recognised for workplace excellence, including 2025 recognition as one of Australia's Best Places to Work and a high ranking on Fortune's list of the World's Best Workplaces.

The role & team

We have a collaborative Payroll team of about twenty within the People & Organisation department. Following an internal promotion, we are recruiting two Payroll Team Leaders to join the team. Reporting to the Payroll Manager, you will lead and mentor a team of Payroll Officers while also managing your own payroll portfolio. This is a hands-on leadership role with guidance, coaching and development to ensure your team has the skills, training and resources to succeed.

You will oversee day-to-day payroll operations, ensuring fortnightly payroll for our Shared Venture Stores is processed accurately and on time in line with applicable legislation, awards, policies and procedures. You'll be the first point of contact for your team, conducting regular check-ins and support.

Collaboration with the Payroll Manager and fellow Team Leader will align processes, optimise resources, and identify improvement initiatives in line with Specsavers' continuous improvement philosophy. You'll contribute to auditing, reporting, compliance, reconciliations and payroll query investigations, delivering high standards of customer service.

This role offers a mix of leadership and hands-on responsibility, with a hybrid work approach and a base at our Support Office in Port Melbourne when not working remotely.

What we are looking for
  • Sound knowledge of Australian payroll legislation
  • Demonstrated experience in a high-volume payroll environment
  • Leadership and coaching skills to lead direct reports
  • Effective time management and organisational skills
  • High attention to detail
  • Customer-focused with sound analytical and problem-solving abilities
  • Knowledge of ADP Payforce and UKG Pro is highly desirable but not essential
