Guidant Global is hiring an experienced Senior Payroll Administrator to join a high-performing team supporting a secure, highly regulated government-linked account.
This is not a junior payroll administration role.
We are looking for someone with proven experience taking ownership of complex payroll activity within a fast-paced operational environment — ideally supporting large payroll populations and working confidently with compliance, onboarding and worker queries.
You’ll play a critical role in ensuring the successful delivery of an 800+ monthly payroll while supporting compliance and finance administration activity across a secure account environment.
What you’ll be responsible for:
* Supporting the end‑to‑end delivery of a high‑volume monthly payroll
* Managing payroll processing accurately to strict deadlines
* Handling complex worker and stakeholder payroll queries
* Right to Work checks, onboarding and compliance administration
* Supporting invoicing, finance administration and audit‑ready records
* Working closely with payroll, onboarding and operational stakeholders
* Providing reliable support during critical payroll periods
What we’re looking for:
* Strong payroll processing experience with clear personal ownership of payroll activity
* Experience supporting medium‑to‑large payroll populations
* Confident handling sensitive data and working to tight deadlines
* Strong Excel and systems capability (pivot tables, lookups etc.)
* Experience within regulated, compliance‑led or secure environments preferred
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
* Ability to work independently and take accountability
* Candidates must be able to attend the Luton office regularly, including up to 4 days onsite during key payroll periods
* Due to the nature of the account, successful applicants must be eligible to undergo employer‑sponsored Developed Vetting (DV) clearance
* Applicants should have a strong UK residency history suitable for security vetting review
Why join Guidant Global?
You’ll join a collaborative and supportive team where your expertise genuinely matters. Alongside hybrid flexibility outside payroll periods, employees benefit from wellbeing support, life assurance, employee assistance resources, discounts and broader career development opportunities across the business.
If you’re an experienced payroll professional looking for a role with real ownership, accountability and long‑term progression, we’d love to hear from you.
