Salary: $70,000 base + superannuation + 5% STI (bonus)

Location: Remote — Australia

30 hours a week. Fully remote. Real, varied work. If you're looking for flexibility without giving up impact — read on.

Thryv has been helping local businesses compete for over 125 years, from print directories to an AI-powered platform built to grow small businesses through digital marketing. The businesses we work with are the plumber trying to get found on Google, the salon owner who never has time to follow up, the family restaurant competing against chains with bigger budgets.

We give them the tools to compete. And we give the people who work here a career worth having. Our culture runs on accountability, genuine relationships and doing the right thing. We take ownership, back each other and when it goes well, we celebrate it properly.

THE ROLE This is a genuinely varied part-time role — 30 hours a week spread across five days — sitting at the heart of our People operations and spanning payroll, HR administration and recruitment support across Australia and New Zealand.

It's fully remote, and it's built for someone who wants real, meaningful work without the full-time commitment.

You'll own our New Zealand fortnightly payroll (around 50 employees) and act as trained backup for Australia (around 270 employees), working alongside our third-party payroll provider. Alongside payroll, you'll be the backbone of our recruitment administration — from calling candidates and managing HireVue follow-ups, to drafting contracts and getting new starters set up in UKG.

If you take pride in getting the detail right, you're confident on the phone and you know how to juggle competing priorities without dropping the ball — we want to hear from you.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING Payroll

Manage UKG changes for new starters, terminations, leave balances and system updates

Maintain SOX compliance documentation and complete regular audits

Prepare monthly HR and Finance reporting across AU and NZ

Handle payroll queries from employees and support the wider team on ad hoc projects

Recruitment Administration

Deliver unsuccessful feedback calls to candidates on the same day outcomes are confirmed

Verify working rights via Home Affairs VEVO and manage employee file setup in UKG

Draft offer letters and contracts accurately at point of approval, and manage the issuing process

Coordinate reference checks, schedule interviews and Assessment Centres

Support the TA team with ad hoc recruitment tasks as they arise

HR Administration

Monitor and manage the HR mailbox, draft letters via Adobe Sign and support compliance checks

WHAT YOU BRING

Experience in payroll administration, ideally across AU and/or NZ — you understand Super/KiwiSaver, payroll tax,



termination calculations and reading employment contracts

Experience in HR administration — handling confidential records, contracts and correspondence with care

High attention to detail — you review your work before it goes out, every time
