A growing organisation within the engineering and professional services sector is hiring a Benefits, Pensions & Payroll Manager to support a key period of integration and transformation across its group-wide operations. The business is focused on harmonising payroll, pensions and benefits following a series of acquisitions, alongside a planned TUPE transfer to further streamline the structure.

Reporting into senior HR leadership, you will take ownership of benefits, pensions and payroll across multiple entities, overseeing delivery through a mix of in-house teams and outsourced providers. You will manage a small team across different business units, working closely with external partners to ensure consistent and effective service delivery.

Alongside day-to-day oversight, you will play a key role in driving the harmonisation of payroll, pensions and benefits, including consolidating core offerings such as private medical insurance and pension schemes. This will involve supporting a transition to a salary sacrifice pension model, while maintaining compliance and navigating areas where full alignment may not be possible due to regulatory requirements.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role requiring strong payroll, pensions and benefits expertise. You will be comfortable operating within a complex, multi-entity environment, managing multiple stakeholders and driving improvements across systems and processes.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a business undergoing significant transformation, where you can play a key role in shaping strategy during a period of change. In return,you will receive a competitive salary of up to £70,000, plus bonus and benefits, alongside a hybrid working model (3 days in the office, 2 from home).
