Kenton Black Finance has partnered with a well-established company in the Merseyside area. The business is market-leading and well respected, seen as innovators within their chosen industry. With a headcount over 3000 staff, they are keen to secure a Payroll Manager to oversee a small team to manage the payroll process, systems and day to day activity within the department.
As the Payroll Manager, you will report directly to the Financial Controller. You will be responsible for the payroll process, developing systems and processes within the payroll department which includes all elements of payroll: transactions, salaries, benefits, deductions, taxes and third party payments. You will coordinate timekeeping and payroll systems, oversee the process of payroll changes (e.g., new hires, terminations, raises) and system upgrades. You will ensure compliance with relevant laws and internal policies, manage a small team, liaise with auditors, manage payroll tax audits, collaborate with Human Resources and accounting teams, and resolve issues by answering payroll-related questions.
To be considered, you must possess at least 3 years experience in a similar senior payroll position. You should have a solid understanding of current payroll requirements, knowledge of payroll procedures and related laws, and a proven track record of managing a team. You must have a keen eye for detail, an analytical mind, outstanding communication skills (written and oral), and strong leadership and development skills.
You will be paid a competitive salary and have the opportunity to work alongside a knowledgeable team of finance professionals. The client offers progressive career opportunities and invaluable support from an engaging and experienced Group Financial Controller.
