Your Opportunity: You will be joining a fast-growing, organisation with an ambitious leadership team and a strong track record of recognising and rewarding high performance.
This is a Senior Payroll Officer opportunity suited to someone who enjoys working in a busy, high-performing environment, wants genuine ownership of their role and values being trusted to get on with the job.
The management style is mature and supportive, with clear expectations and recognition for people who perform well.
Working closely with an experienced Payroll Manager, you will play a key role in delivering a busy weekly payroll while having the autonomy to manage your own responsibilities.
You will also act as a trusted second-in-command within payroll, stepping up to oversee the process when the Payroll Manager is away.
With the organisation continuing to grow and evolve, there will be plenty of opportunity to contribute ideas, improve processes and help shape more efficient ways of working across the payroll function.
Payroll will make up approximately 75% of the position, with the remaining 25% focused on HR administration, predominantly employment contracts and employee documentation.
Previous HR experience isn't essential, with training available.
This is a permanent, office-based opportunity with onsite parking and flexibility around start and finish times for the right person.
What You'll Do: Manage the end-of-the-end weekly payroll for approximately 600 employees across multiple business entities.
Process new starters, terminations, employee changes, time sheets and payroll variations.
Complete payroll calculations, including leave and employee entitlements.
Manage payroll enquiries and provide support to employees and managers.




Complete payroll reporting and reconciliations and maintain accurate employee records.
Step in to oversee the payroll process when the Payroll Manager is away.
Support continuous improvement across payroll processes and systems.
Provide HR administration support across approximately 25% of the role, including employment contracts and employee documentation.
About You You will be an experienced payroll professional who is confident managing end-to-end payroll in a busy environment.
You'll be organised, approachable and proactive, with the ability to build strong relationships across the business.
Experience required: Around 4+ years' payroll experience, ideally in a Senior Payroll Officer or similar role.
Strong end-to-end payroll experience within a high-volume environment.
Experience processing weekly payroll, including timesheets, leave, new starters, terminations and payroll adjustments.
Experience with payroll reconciliations and reporting.
Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing deadlines.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Comfortable taking ownership and stepping up when required.
Experience with Employment Hero would be highly regarded; however, similar payroll systems will also be considered.
A proactive and adaptable approach, with an interest in improving processes as the business continues to grow.
Previous HR administration experience is not required; being open to learning and supporting this part of the position is more significant.
