* You’ll be an analytical problem solver; as a logical thinker, you can think practically when challenges arise. You're proactive in anticipating issues and challenges, and you seek to create options for potential solutions and mitigate risks
* You’ll be patient and pragmatic when dealing with queries or challenges that arise
* You’ll be discreet and confidential when handling a large amount of sensitive colleague data.
What you’ll be doing:
* Delivery of end to end transactional and operational tasks for payroll, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
* Provide day-to-day advice and guidance to internal stakeholders on payroll related matters.
* Build strong relationships with our third-party payroll service provider, highlighting any operational issues that may impact on the customer experience to the Payroll Manager.

* Support in the administration of the pension scheme alongside the Payroll Administrator, ensuring compliance with auto enrolment regulations
* Working alongside the people team to further enhance the cross over of people and payroll activity
* Manually calculating and processing out of cycle payments for corrections when required. With an understanding of the impact that may have on future payments.
