Senior Payroll Advisor 12-month fixed term

Hays are working exclusively with a growing technology company to recruit a Senior Payroll & Benefits Advisor on a 12-month contract, to cover maternity leave.

The role will be fully remote, so open to any applicant within the UK and is on a part-time basis (between 22.5 and 27.5 hours per week). These hours are fully flexible to suit your needs, so could be done over 3-4 full days or to incorporate school hours.

The ideal candidate will have previous end-to-end payroll experience, good communication skills and confidence in dealing with third parties such as HMRC, and also have Iris Cascade systems knowledge (although this is not essential).

Reporting to the Payroll Manager, your main responsibilities will include:

• Process monthly payroll using Iris Cascade for 750+ employees, including starters, leavers, absences, commissions, and statutory payments.
• Administer company benefits and pensions, liaising with providers and handling employee queries.
• Support payroll and HRIS transformation projects, including system maintenance and reporting.
• Provide expert advice on payroll, benefits, and compliance, ensuring best practices and legal adherence.
• Collaborate with Finance, Senior Management, and the People Team on payroll matters and reporting.
• Contribute to year-end processes (P60s, P11Ds, PSA), audits, and the annual pay review.
• Prepare and reconcile payroll reports, balance sheets, and third-party payments.
• Respond to payroll queries and manage ad hoc data/reporting requests.
