  • Experience in Micropay and Human Force is strongly desired but not mandatory
  • Previous leadership of a payroll function with a fortnightly payroll of about 2,900 people
  • Exposure to the Children Services Award or similar Award with casual employee provisions
  • Demonstrated success in payroll business process improvement including change leadership
  • Demonstrated experience in payroll reporting including providing Executive leaders with insights on workforce performance and cost
