Noble Talent Solutions is partnering with a leading international NGO to find an experienced payroll specialist to cover an extended leave absence.

This is a finance-side payroll role, not an administration role. The award is straightforward, but the system is complex and the handover is short, so we need someone who has run payroll from start to finish and knows the numbers behind it.

The engagement
0.5 FTE: 5 days out of every 10, with a versatile pattern (one week on/one week off, or 2 days then 3)
Early October 2026 to end of January 2027, starting with 1–2 pay runs alongside the current team member
Fully remote, anywhere in Australia
Contract through Noble Talent Solutions

What you'll do
Run the fortnightly Australian payroll for about 200 employees under the SCHADS Award (no overtime, shifts or penalties)
Manage salary packaging and novated leases in-house, end to end, within PBI rules




Reconcile payroll to the general ledger and prepare payroll journals
Analyse payroll data in Excel to make sure every run is right
Support audit and finance requests

What you'll bring
Experience as a payroll specialist, payroll accountant or payroll manager, ideally within a finance team
A track record of running full payroll cycles on your own
Salary packaging and novated lease administration done in-house, ideally including FBT reporting
An enterprise payroll platform: SAP SuccessFactors preferred; Oracle or Microsoft also considered
Solid Excel and analytical skills
Not-for-profit experience is a bonus
