Payroll specialist

Your new company

A leading organisation based in Manchester is looking to appoint a Payroll Specialist to join its expanding payroll team. The business operates within a complex payroll environment, managing multiple legal entities, pension schemes, benefits providers and variable pay arrangements. With ongoing investment in payroll processes and systems, this is an exciting opportunity for an experienced payroll professional looking to join a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

Your new role

As Payroll Specialist, you will play a key role in supporting the accurate and timely delivery of payroll across the organisation. Working closely with the Payroll manager, internal stakeholders and the outsourced payroll provider, you will be responsible for processing payroll data, validating payroll outputs, resolving queries and ensuring compliance with current legislation.
You will support ongoing payroll process improvements, investigate discrepancies and contribute towards creating a streamlined and efficient payroll function. This role offers excellent exposure to a varied and complex payroll operation and would suit someone who enjoys working independently while managing multiple priorities.

What you'll need to succeed

To be successful, you will have previous end-to-end payroll experience within a busy and demanding payroll environment. You will possess strong knowledge of payroll legislation and have experience managing complex payroll inputs, including benefits, pensions and variable payments.
You'll be highly organised, detail-oriented and capable of building strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels. Experience working alongside an outsourced payroll provider would be advantageous, with exposure to SD Worx viewed favourably.
