About Our Client

With operations spanning multiple sites and award structures, the organisation is currently undergoing a significant transformation - modernising its systems, streamlining payroll processes, and embedding a culture of compliance and operational excellence. The executive leadership team is deeply invested in getting payroll right. They/'ve committed substantial resources to upgrading systems, refining processes, and attracting top talent to ensure the payroll function is not only compliant but also efficient and future-ready. This is a rare opportunity to join a business where payroll is seen as a strategic enabler, not just a back-office function.

- Ensure full compliance with Australian payroll legislation and enterprise agreements.
- Collaborate with HR, Finance, and IT to deliver integrated solutions and reporting.
- Provide expert advice on legislative changes and risk mitigation.
- Mentor and develop a small but capable payroll team.

The Successful Applicant

You are a seasoned payroll professional who thrives in complex environments. You bring a strategic mindset but are equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves to get things done. You understand the importance of compliance and accuracy, and you/'re passionate about building efficient, people-focused payroll operations.

You will bring:

- Deep understanding of Australian payroll legislation, awards, and compliance frameworks.
- Experience with system upgrades or implementations.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
- A collaborative, proactive approach to problem-solving.

What/'s on Offer

- $150,000 - $170,000 + super + bonus
- WFH flexibility
- Be part of a business where payroll is a strategic priority.
- Work with a highly engaged and supportive executive team.
