Who we're looking for.
We're looking for someone to join our high-quality team of payroll professionals and play a vital part in ensuring the smooth running of our UK payroll. You will be a driven self-starter, who likes to use their initiative, thinks independently and can be self-reliant. Your methodical approach, open-mindedness, and eagerness to learn will be instrumental in your success.
The UK payroll is managed in-house using third party provider software and you will work closely with the wider HR team to achieve legal compliance and process efficiency in your day-to-day work.
We believe in fostering a positive and inclusive work culture, and we are looking for someone with a positive attitude and the confidence to express their own ideas. Your strong analytical skills and ability to quickly learn and adapt to new processes and concepts will be highly valued in this role.
In addition to supporting the running of the UK payroll, you will also support payroll activities in some of our overseas territories such as Chile, Ireland, Mexico, South Africa and UAE. This will involve liaising with relevant third-party payroll providers and ensuring effective communication and coordination to meet monthly deadlines.
Prior experience in payroll processing or a related field is preferred but not required.
