Your new company

You'll be joining a well-established organisation with a strong focus on accuracy, compliance, and continuous improvement within its payroll function. The team values collaboration, professional development, and delivering a high quality service across multiple regions.

Your new role

In this Senior Payroll Specialist role, you'll take ownership of running multiple UK payrolls end to end, ensuring they are processed accurately and on schedule. You'll validate data, resolve system alerts, prepare payment files, and ensure all activity complies with internal policies and statutory requirements. You'll support statutory reporting, assist with audits, contribute to year end tasks, and act as an escalation point for complex queries. You'll also play a key part in improving processes and supporting system upgrades, while providing guidance to colleagues and offering cover for the Payroll Manager when needed.

What you'll need to succeed
You'll bring strong technical payroll knowledge, a solid understanding of legislation, and experience using computerised payroll systems. Accuracy, analytical thinking, and the ability to work to tight deadlines are essential. Clear communication skills, adaptability, and confidence in working with stakeholders will help you thrive, along with a proactive approach to improving processes. SAP is desirable but not essential.

What you'll get in return

You'll join a supportive team that encourages development and continuous learning. The role offers exposure to a wide range of payroll activities, opportunities to influence process improvements, and a culture that values teamwork and personal growth.
