They are currently on the lookout for a Payroll Specialist to join their expanding People team. This is a key role to the function, providing a high level of service back to the business. You'll report to the Senior Operations and Payroll Manager, and work alongside a Payroll Coordinator.

  • Partner closely with third party providers on local regulations around Payroll, Taxes and National Insurance
  • Perform control checks for audit / reporting and timely completion of information for ongoing Internal and External audits
  • Improve processes and drive requirements for additional improvements to eliminate manual processes which might also involve partnering with other regions across the business
