The Role
Given their recent growth trajectory, the business are looking to bring their payroll in-house for the first time, which would see you reporting into the Financial Controller and working closely with their Financial Accountant + outsourced service provider to build internal processes and begin to run payroll in a standalone role with scope for growth within the role to occur long term, in line with businesses growth.

About You
To be successful in this role, you will have:


• Hands-on experience in an end-to-end payroll processing role.


• Strong attention to detail and a proactive approach to self-review.


• Ability to stay up to date with relevant changes in payroll legislation. 


• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with a customer-focused mindset.


• Exposure to global payroll processing, liaising with an outsourced provider to do so, also advantageous but not essential.


• Previous experience processing payroll within Xero would be advantageous but is not essential. 

What They Can Offer

• A brand new, state-of-the-art office facility with full amenities. 


• A supportive, collaborative and family-like workplace. 


• Located nearby to various cafes, restaurants, bars and only a short travel from the CBD on public transport. 


• The chance to play a key role in shaping and improving payroll processes in a growing business. 


• Conveniently located on-site car park, making it easy to travel in and out of work.
