Payroll isn't just about getting the numbers right.
It's about trust.
The difference between a payslip that's simply processed and one that's exactly right.
What it takes to run two countries' payroll without missing a beat.
Why the smallest error is the one people remember longest.
That Standard Is What This Role Is Built On.
The Role
We're looking for a Payroll Manager to lead end-to-end payroll for Lorna Jane, across Australia and New Zealand.
Based at our Eagle Farm head office and reporting directly to our CFO, you'll lead a team of 2 — our Payroll Officer and Compliance Officer — with full ownership of how our people are paid.
One day you're deep in award interpretation, making sure a multi-site retail workforce is paid exactly right.
The next you're partnering with retail on rosters, presenting to the CFO on wage costs, or coaching your team through a tricky compliance question.
Both matter equally here.
This is a hands‐on role, so you'll be able to put your skills & experience to good use while still managing a small team.
What You'll Own
Payroll, start to finish.
Accurate salary, wage, overtime and allowance calculations across a multi-site retail workforce.
Compliance, without compromise.
STP, superannuation, PAYG and NZ equivalents (PAYE, KiwiSaver) — kept current, kept clean.
Award interpretation.
Confident application of modern awards and enterprise agreements in a multi-site retail environment — GRIA and other retail award experience highly regarded.
Workforce management.




Partnering with retail to build rosters that align staffing to trade, and reporting that supports smarter decisions.
A team of 2, led well.
Two direct reports — our Payroll Officer and Compliance Officer — developed and supported to do their best work.
What You'll Bring
Robust end-to-end payroll experience, including time leading or supervising a team.
Multi-entity, trans‐Tasman exposure — AU and NZ payroll experience highly regarded.
Proven award interpretation in a multi‐site retail environment, with GRIA and other retail award experience highly regarded.
Dayforce experience highly desirable, as you'll have ownership of the system.
Exposure to rostering, time & attendance and labour‐cost management.
Above all, the discretion of someone trusted with confidential information, every time.

The Details
