• Support end-to-end payroll system implementations and transformation projects.


• Analyse payroll processes and recommend best-practice solutions.


• Configure and support payroll technology platforms.


• Assist with data migration, testing, reporting and go-live activities.


• Deliver training and support to clients throughout project delivery.


• Collaborate with Project Managers and Change Managers to ensure successful outcomes.

What we're looking for

• Solid end-to-end payroll experience with a strong understanding of payroll legislation and best practice.


• Experience working on payroll projects, system implementations or process improvement initiatives is highly regarded.


• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.


• A passion for payroll technology and continuous improvement.


• Experience with payroll systems such as SAP, SuccessFactors, Dayforce or Workday will be highly regarded.

What's on offer

• The opportunity to transition from traditional BAU payroll into payroll consulting and project delivery.


• Work with a diverse range of organisations across Australia.


• Flexible home working options and genuine work-life balance.


• Ongoing learning and development within a specialist payroll consulting business.


• A collaborative team that values innovation, problem-solving and delivering exceptional client outcomes.
