Payroll Officer | Full-Time, On-Site | Dandenong South | Up to $110K + Bonus + Super
About the role
As Payroll Officer, you'll sit at the centre of a household Australian manufacturing business: trusted to run payroll accurately, on time, every time, and to be the person the wider team turns to when something doesn't add up. You'll take full ownership of end-to-end payroll across weekly (AU) and monthly (AU & NZ) cycles — timesheets, approvals, tax, super, GL reconciliation, and everything in between. You'll be the go-to for payroll queries, the one liaising with the ATO and Centrelink when needed, and a key support to the Chief of Staff and People & Culture team more broadly — from employee records to reports, letters, and the occasional contract or policy fact sheet.
