Job Details
Your new company
An established organisation based in Salford Quays is seeking a payroll/HR system to be based 2 days a week in their office. With hybrid work available and a salary up to £50,000, this is an exciting opportunity to restructure and implement process improvement whilst supporting the wider business through a period of change.
Your new role
Reporting to the Head of HR, you will be responsible for reviewing the current payroll processes, ensuring the current payroll process and reporting is compliant and accurate for the future of the business. This is not a traditional processing role - you'll provide payroll optimisation, identify payroll compliance gaps and implement an appropriate structure to support the wider payroll/HR function. Day-to-day, you'll review and unpick the current workflow of data from HR to Payroll, ensure payroll inputs are accurate, timely and inline for audit purposes.
What you'll need to succeed
You'll need strong knowledge of UK payroll legislation, statutory deductions and pension contributions, along with experience in end-to-end payroll processing, and be a confident leader across payroll operations and systems. Excellent communication and efficient work practices are also key to this role.
