Payroll senior officer

Your new company

Join a forward-thinking and supportive accountancy firm known for its collaborative culture and commitment to excellence. With a strong focus on client relationships and continuous improvement, this organisation offers a dynamic environment where your contributions truly matter.

Your new role

As a senior payroll officer, you'll take ownership of end-to-end payroll processing, including Auto Enrolment, for a diverse portfolio of clients. You'll be the go-to expert for payroll queries, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely delivery. Working closely with both internal teams and external stakeholders, you'll build strong relationships and contribute to a positive team culture. You'll also stay ahead of industry changes through independent research and play a key role in resolving payroll-related and customer service issues.

What you'll need to succeed

You'll bring solid payroll experience-ideally from an accountancy or professional services background-along with a deep understanding of payroll legislation and Auto Enrolment. Confidence in manually calculating payroll and familiarity with software like Sage 50cloud or Bright Pay will be advantageous. Strong communication skills, a proactive mindset, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively are essential. You'll also need excellent organisational skills and a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office tools.
