- Maintain and communicate payroll policies and procedures, including leave, timesheet approval, overtime and pay cut-offs, and escalate non-compliance where needed

- Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
- Robust organisation and time management, and the ability to meet deadlines
- A collaborative, team-focused attitude and the ability to handle confidential information
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
