Who are we looking for?
* You need to be the kind of person who finds the idea of responsibility and radical means of working exciting rather than terrifying.
* You need to be prepared to ask challenging questions of yourself and others (Why are we doing it this way? Why are we doing it at all? If I can prove this is easier, will folks try it this way?).
* You should have a highly developed sense of collaboration – it doesn’t mean you need to be a touchy-feely extrovert, but that you know sharing information and ideas and supporting others is essential to commercial success.
* This is a part time role ideally 25-30 hours a week but working from home and when you want within core business hours.
* FTE salary between £26k - £30k
What’s the role?
You’ll be joining an extremely enthusiastic team that enjoys what they do. Whilst people are free to work on what they feel will bring the most value to the company, the following will fall under your remit:
* Processing UK payroll using our Xero system
* Working with our other international payroll processors to ensure prompt delivery (India, Spain, Mauritius)
* Support with the administrative tasks for on/off-boarding.
* Reconciliation of all payroll across the group
* Posting payroll journals and reconciliations
* Posting bank transactions
* Supplier invoice and staff expenses processing
Technical skills:
* Experience (minimum 1 -2 years) with UK payroll.
* Some basic accounting experience with accounts payable and banking (min 1-2 years)
* More than anything, key attributes that we're looking for include great attention to detail, alongside a strong desire to own this area and be fully accountable and responsible for its success.
* If you have any Xero experience then hurrah, but it's not an absolute requirement, especially if you've used other systems such as Sage or Quickbooks.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills are a must.
All about G
As well as its great games and beautiful products, G is famous for its unusual culture.
* We have a flat no bosses structure where we value freedom and dissent
* We work where we want, we’re primarily remote. Some people do go to offices local to their own homes, but these are usually shared spaces.
* We practise radical transparency in how we work
Unusual culture? What does that mean?
Ideals are cheap to talk about! We try to turn what we believe into practical actions we can all follow and see happening around us:
* Fully supported remote working, with a co-working space in London available
* All information including financial and decision-making is shared with all employees
* We use real-time shared messaging tools, not email
* We don't track holidays, we expect people to be adult holding themselves to a professional level of accountability.
* We believe in getting the job done as efficiently and effectively as possible not missing deadlines, because that’s what finance is.
* We rely on self-evaluation and persuasion, not authority
We've also been working like this since inception; it's not a Covid thing so we won't be looking to change it.
What's great about it?
* Exceptional freedom
* Have incredibly hard-working and committed colleagues
* When something doesn’t happen then you have the right and the responsibility to change that – which is exciting
What’s bad about it?
* You can't blame stuff on managers or budgets or the company
* Freedom isn’t always fun – sometimes it's scary
* Having hard-working, committed colleagues means you feel the need to live up to them
