Key skills for this role
We're looking for a Payroll Specialist who's keen to build a genuine career in payroll, not just process it. Hands-on payroll experience in ADP is essential, beyond that we care more about your fundamentals and willingness to learn than a long resume. You'll process our fortnightly Australian payroll end-to-end across our two Australian companies, and gradually build exposure to how payroll works in other countries as part of our global finance team. Reporting to the Payroll Manager, you'll have real room to grow as our payroll function expands.
Payroll Processing & Compliance
Process fortnightly Australian payroll end-to-end — new starters, terminations, leave, overtime, allowances and deductions
Keep on top of PAYG, superannuation (incl. upload), STP and workers' compensation requirements
Systems & Reconciliation
Work across two ADP instances for two different entities, plus reconcile payroll data and journals
Investigate and resolve payroll discrepancies, and support month-end and audit
Get comfortable using AI tools to work more efficiently, in line with our privacy and security standards
Collaboration & Global Team
Work flexible morning hours some days to overlap with our global payroll team
Partner with People & Culture and Finance, and handle employee payroll queries with a service mindset
Start building exposure to payroll in other jurisdictions, including Canada
Growing Into the Role
Take on more of the payroll function as it expands — there's a genuine path to grow here, not a fixed, static role
Get involved in payroll process improvements and, over time, potentially payroll system implementations
