Payroll Officer

Why MXstore? _

We are a team of fun and fast-paced people who love pushing boundaries and building value in the industries we play in. We are driven by a passion for e-commerce and for people, especially the customers and team members who keep us going. Our approach to business (and life) is underpinned by a tried and tested set of core values that permeate everything we do:

- Be a good human - Good humans are genuine, they care about people and they have a positive impact on the team. We choose to be them and to work with them
- Foot forward first - Anyone can step up and lead the way to keep us moving forward. With a relatively ‘flat’ structure we need people who are excited to do the job that needs to be done.
- Kaizen - It’s Japanese for ‘Continuous Improvement’. We continually iterate and adapt by seeking out feedback, challenging the status quo and asking ‘why not?’.
- Embrace growth and change - We see change as motivating, necessary and a reason to build new capabilities. Challenges and setbacks become learning opportunities when you have a growth mindset
- Communicate with equality and empathy - We are all equal as human beings, so listen with an empathetic ear and speak with kindness. That’s what a good human would do.You can probably tell from our core values that we have a unique approach to how we work and are not your typical corporate thinkers, so you’ll need to be adaptable, collaborative and willing to challenge the status quo.
