Payroll Manager
- Manage end-to-end payroll processing for a salaried workforce across Australia and New Zealand.
- Troubleshoot payroll issues and refine processes for smooth operations.
- Opportunity to shape the payroll function and potentially build a team as the business grows.
THE ORGANISATION
Our client is a growing organisation of 500 + people across Australia and New Zealand. They have recently brought payroll in-house and moved to Dayforce. Now they need a hands-on payroll professional to take ownership of the function. It’s an ambitious business with plans to keep growing, and this role will grow with it.
THE ROLE
You will be the go-to person for payroll across Australia and New Zealand. You’ll run fortnightly payroll in Dayforce, managing end-to-end processing for a mostly salaried workforce. You’ll troubleshoot issues, find practical solutions and refine processes so payroll runs smoothly. As the business grows, so can the function, with scope to build a team or move into broader systems specialisation.
THE CRITERIA
To be successful in this role, you will bring hands-on payroll experience and be confident processing from start to finish. Dayforce experience is highly regarded but not essential. Mindset matters most. You enjoy learning new systems, solving tricky problems and working through ambiguity. You’re autonomous, organised and comfortable being the payroll expert. Candidates earlier in their career who are eager to learn are encouraged to apply.
Please note the successful candidate must be an Australian Citizen.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU
This is genuine ownership of a payroll function, with the chance to shape it as the business grows. You’ll build deep Dayforce expertise and open a pathway into systems work. You’ll work a WFH arrangement with at least three days in the office. The role can be based in Sydney, Melbourne or Canberra.
