Payroll Specialist

This is an excellent opportunity to join a global payroll function supporting approximately 4,000 colleagues across multiple locations.

As a Payroll Specialist, you will play a key role in ensuring accurate, timely and compliant payroll processing while working closely with the Group Payroll Manager and wider payroll team.

You will be part of a collaborative HR environment where accuracy, service delivery, continuous improvement and stakeholder support are highly valued.

• Manage the end-to-end processing of payrolls across multiple countries and jurisdictions.
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date, and confidential payroll records.
• Complete payroll data entry, reconciliations, and audit checks to ensure accuracy and compliance. Respond to payroll-related queries from employees and internal stakeholders in a timely and professional manner.
• Partner with HR and Finance teams to ensure employee data integrity and accurate payroll reporting.
• Support compliance with local statutory requirements and international payroll regulations.

• Work collaboratively with the Global Payroll Manager and wider payroll team to ensure payrolls are processed accurately and on time.
• Deliver a high level of customer service and support to colleagues across the business.

To succeed in this role, you will ideally bring minimum 2 years of experience in a specialist payroll role, preferably within a professional services or multi-jurisdictional environment.

Strong numerical and analytical skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to work accurately with confidential information will be important.

You should be a confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

You will also be someone who manages time effectively, embraces change with a positive attitude, and works proactively and independently to support the team in delivering results.

Familiarity with payroll software and systems, preferably ADP, would be beneficial but is not essential as training can be provided.

A strong understanding of statutory regulations will also support success in this role.
