Job Description
Up to £40,000 basic plus bonus
Office-based, Hertfordshire
This is not a steady-state payroll role.
Were working with a privately owned, high-growth payroll, compliance and contractor services business operating at serious scale. Thousands of self-employed workers. Rapid growth. Complex moving parts. Big ambitions.
They are already successful. They are now sharpening everything.
This role exists because the business wants its payroll function to be best-in-class, not just coping.
The environment
This is a grown-up business with a genuinely impressive HQ. Gym. Swimming pool. Bar. Restaurant. Coffee shop. It is an office people want to be in, and a culture that values performance, clarity and accountability.
This role is five days a week on site. Collaboration matters here.
The role
You will be the operational heartbeat of the payroll function. (The quarterback for those familiar with American Football)
Managing a team of six, youll work closely with the Operations Manager to improve efficiency, tighten processes and build a payroll operation that scales cleanly.
This is about structure, foresight and leadership, not constant firefighting.
What youll be trusted with
Leading and developing a payroll team
Owning payroll delivery end to end
Improving systems, workflows and controls
Removing friction as volumes increase
Helping shape how payroll evolves as the business grows
Who this suits
You already manage people. You understand payroll environments well enough to be credible. You are calm, organised and process-led.
You want ownership, visibility and a role where your impact actually matters.
Whats on offer
Up to £40,000 basic
Annual company bonus
Clear progression in a scaling business
Outstanding working environment
