Melbourne, Australia Latitude Financial Services Full time

Yearly salary reviews.

Latitude Financial Services is currently implementing a partially outsourced Payroll model which means that our payroll services are going to be partially managed by an external vendor, Frontier Software.

The purpose of this stand-alone Payroll Specialist role is to act as the conduit between Frontier and Latitude to ensure that our payroll services are executed efficiently. This role will also be responsible for successfully embedding the partially outsourced Payroll model and be a dedicated point of contact back into Latitude as well as an escalation point whilst the new model is being embedded.

Importantly, it will also support payroll activities that remain in house, such as responding to employee Payroll queries, loading and signing off on payroll files, conducting data audits and payroll compliance and regulatory reporting.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for:

- Successfully embed the outsourced Payroll model and assist in further efficiency in outsourced model.

- Provide high-quality operational payroll services and advice to business stakeholders e.g. People Partners, to support decision making relating to payroll
- Support the delivery of projects and initiatives that are designed to enhance the employee and leader experience relating to payroll
- Prepare other data, reports and analytics as required
- Work closely with People Operations and Reward teams to ensure data accuracy in our HRIS (Workday) and continuously improve the integrity of payroll related data
- Manage the integration of data across multiple HR platforms - Workday, Chris21 (Pay & Leave), Time & Attendance. _For example, if we roll out a new incentive scheme - this role will manage the integration and mapping of the scheme into our HR systems as well as project manage the change with the outsourced payroll vendor - comms, testing and training to ensure vendor can facilitate payment (as part of payroll) under a new incentive scheme_

Ideally, we're looking for the following:
Experience & Knowledge
- Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources/ Business/ Commerce/ Law discipline, or equivalent professional experience
- Sound knowledge of Australian and New Zealand payroll legislation and regulations
- Experience working within, and preferably managing, an outsourced payroll model
- Proficient in MS Excel (e.g. advanced formulas, pivot tables, charts, VLOOKUP)
- Strong knowledge of HR Systems (e.g. Workday or similar, Chris21).
- Strong interpersonal, collaboration and engagement skills with the ability to build and maintain effective stakeholder relationships
- Strong analytical skills and capability to concisely generate and communicate insights from data
- Strong time management skills and ability to meet deadlines, with excellent attention to detail
- Proven execution skills with a solution focused mindset, outstanding ability to be proactive own tasks and follow through to completion

Sound like you? That's a good sign In return for your energy and ideas, we offer a flexible working environment and great compensation. We always support a safe, healthy, engaging, and productive working environment for all employees and workers, whether that be in your home and office, or a combination of both.

We're Latitude, partners in money. Latitude may seem like the new kid on the block, but it's taken us almost a hundred years to become an overnight success. Digital payments, cards, loans, and insurance is what we offer - but what we really are is a platform that helps people shop and live better. Always living and breathing our values. Act Right, Show Care, Be Curious.
