Join a team delivering end-to-end managed payroll services across complex enterprise environments, with hands-on exposure to Oracle EBS, integrations, compliance reporting and continuous improvement.
Thrive in an innovative, collaborative people culture
Reimbursements for career development and subsidised qualifications

Step into a Senior Payroll Officer role where your technical payroll expertise, stakeholder care and eye for detail will help clients run accurate, compliant and reliable payroll operations.

What will your typical day look like?

Much of your time will be spent running end-to-end payroll processing across validation, balancing, reconciliations and finalisation activities. That includes checking outcomes across costing, banking, superannuation, payroll tax and general ledger requirements, while supporting reporting obligations like STP, month-end and year-end.

Working through payroll exceptions and complex issues, you'll investigate discrepancies, analyse unexpected results and get to the root cause of what’s gone wrong. From there, you’ll partner with functional and technical specialists to resolve issues, strengthen controls and improve the way payroll is delivered.

This is a role with plenty of variety and connection. Alongside day-to-day processing, you’ll respond to queries from client stakeholders, HR and Finance teams, contribute to audit and compliance activities, support patch and enhancement testing,



and help maintain SOPs and knowledge artefacts that keep the service running smoothly.
