Senior Payroll Advisor

Are you experienced in managing large, complex payrolls and thrive in a fast-paced setting? This is a brilliant opportunity to step into a busy, varied role where no two days are the same.

You’ll take ownership of 3 monthly payrolls covering around 5,000 employees. The payroll is predominantly salaried, but you’ll also manage variable hours and a significant amount of temporary data - so strong attention to detail and confidence handling high volumes is key.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Managing end-to-end payroll across three monthly cycles

  • Ensuring accurate processing for salaried and variable-hours employees

  • Handling large volumes of temporary and time-sensitive data

  • Working closely with managers and HR to ensure smooth, timely payroll delivery

  • Supporting continuous improvements across payroll processes

What we’re looking for:
  • Solid experience in high-volume payroll environments

  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing deadlines

  • A keen eye for detail and a proactive, solution-focused approach

  • Confident communication skills and the ability to build strong working relationships

If you enjoy owning your payrolls, solving problems and working in a lively, fast-moving environment, this one’s definitely worth a conversation!
