About Our Client

Now fully owned by one of Australia's largest retail groups, our client operates independently while benefiting from the scale, technology, and innovation of its parent company. This strategic backing enables the organisation to continually evolve and deliver best-in-class service across the foodservice sector. What truly sets this organisation apart is its genuine commitment to payroll compliance. The executive team places high importance on getting it right - not just for regulatory reasons, but because it reflects their integrity and care for their people. Their approach is proactive and forward-thinking, and you'll be working closely with a highly respected Head of Payroll Projects - a leader known for their deep expertise and outstanding interpersonal skills. After the initial training period, our client offers the opportunity to WFH 2 days per week.

Job Description

This is a high-impact role focused on cross-functional collaboration and business partnering, where you'll help drive meaningful change across the organisation. As the Payroll Compliance & Data Analyst, you'll work with large and complex datasets to identify discrepancies, support remediation efforts, and ensure compliance with awards, enterprise agreements, and Fair Work legislation. You'll partner with HR, Finance, Legal, and Analytics teams to validate findings and deliver insights that shape strategic decisions. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and wants to make a real difference in how payroll compliance is managed and improved:

- Interpret and apply relevant awards, enterprise agreements, and Fair Work legislation.
- Analyse payroll data to identify compliance discrepancies and calculate remediation amounts.
- Collaborate with HR, Finance, Legal, and Analytics teams to validate findings and ensure accuracy.
- Document methodologies and audit trails to support transparency and compliance.
- Support the development of remediation strategies and payment plans.
- Provide recommendations to improve payroll processes and prevent future compliance issues.
- Contribute to system and process implementation projects with a compliance lens.

The Successful Applicant

- Strong payroll background, including a deep understanding of end-to-end payroll operations.
- Proven experience in payroll compliance and data analysis, ideally in a remediation context.
- Solid knowledge of Australian payroll legislation, awards, and enterprise agreements.
- High attention to detail and strong problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to explain complex compliance matters to non-technical stakeholders.

What's on Offer

- Be part of a business that genuinely values proactive payroll compliance.
- $140,000 - $150,000 including super (potential flex)
- Collaborate across functions to drive real change.
- Enjoy a hybrid work model after initial training period (3 days in the office, 2 days WFH)
- Join a company that lives its values: Customer Focus, Respect, Passion, Simplicity, and Leadership.
