Senior Payroll Officer
2 days ago
Join a highly respected global organisation as a Senior Payroll Officer, where you'll act as a Payroll SME across the APAC region. If you enjoy solving complex payroll challenges, driving process improvement, and being the "go-to" expert for redundancy and termination matters — this role offers both impact and visibility.
About the Company
This organisation is an established global leader with a strong presence across APAC. Their culture is built on collaboration, integrity, and innovation, with a genuine commitment to employee wellbeing and continuous improvement.
The Role
As the Senior Payroll Officer, you will play a key SME role in delivering accurate, compliant and efficient payroll operations. You'll partner closely with HR, Finance, Systems and Payroll Vendors to support APAC payroll processes and ensure exceptional service delivery.
Key Responsibilities
• Lead all redundancy and termination calculations across multiple Enterprise Agreements and Individual Agreements
• Reconcile leave balances between Workday and the payroll system
• Identify process gaps and recommend improvements to streamline payroll operations
• Validate payroll compliance across federal and state regulatory requirements
• Support month-end payroll reconciliations and reporting
• Collaborate with internal teams on payroll workflows, systems optimisation and upcoming legislative changes
• Maintain accurate payroll records, calendars and process documentation
About You
You're a confident Payroll SME who enjoys taking ownership of complex work. You bring strong analytical capability, a solutions mindset and the ability to work with integrity and precision.
What You'll Bring
• 3–5 years' experience delivering end-to-end payroll for large employee groups
• Strong redundancy, termination and compliance knowledge
• Experience with Enterprise Agreements and payroll governance
• Exposure to Workday and/or Kronos highly regarded
• Excellent stakeholder communication and problem-solving skills
• Ability to identify process enhancements and drive continuous improvement
Why This Role Stands Out
- Global organisation with APAC exposure
- SME-level influence on process, compliance and system optimisation
- Supportive, collaborative HR & Finance environment
- CBD location with hybrid flexibility
- Opportunity to lead critical payroll initiatives
