  • Prepare monthly payroll reports and provide data for budgets and projects
  • Work closely with HR to ensure alignment with policies and procedures
  • Support system upgrades, integrations, and payroll improvement initiatives
  • Coordinate the Employee Product Allowance program

About You

You'll be successful in this role if you bring:

  • 5+ years of payroll experience, ideally across Australia and New Zealand
  • Experience with Micropay Meridian and Humanforce/TimeTarget (advantageous)
  • Strong understanding of payroll legislation, awards, superannuation, and compliance
  • Excellent communication, customer service, and stakeholder engagement skills
  • High attention to detail, accuracy, and strong problem-solving abilities
  • Ability to prioritise and manage strict deadlines
  • Intermediate MS Office skills
  • A reliable, flexible, discreet, and team-oriented approach
