Payroll Specialist

Ready to take the next step beyond a traditional Payroll Officer role?

This is an prospect to take greater ownership of complex, end-to-end payroll while remaining genuinely hands-on. You'll manage your own pay groups, solve more technical payroll issues and help improve the way payroll is delivered.

There's no people management involved. It's ideal for an experienced Payroll Officer who wants more responsibility, autonomy and technical exposure without moving away from the work they enjoy.

What you'll be doing
Owning end-to-end payroll across assigned pay groups
Managing pre-pay, pay-run and post-pay activities
Processing complex transactions, including terminations, back pay, leave adjustments and corrections
Completing reconciliations, controls and exception checks
Investigating payroll discrepancies and resolving employee queries
Working with HR, Finance and operational stakeholders
Supporting system improvements, testing and process enhancements
Providing guidance to other team members when needed





What we're looking for

You'll be an experienced Payroll Officer or Payroll Specialist who is confident managing payroll deadlines and working through complex issues.

You'll ideally bring:
Robust end-to-end payroll experience
Experience within a high-volume or complex payroll environment
Knowledge of Awards, Enterprise Agreements, superannuation, taxation and leave
Confidence completing reconciliations and investigating discrepancies
Robust Excel and payroll system experience
A proactive, accountable and detail-focused approach

Experience with Dayforce would be top of the list

Failing this - another integrated payroll system required.

If you're ready to step up, take greater ownership and continue building your payroll career without moving into people management, we'd love to hear from you.
