About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own and deliver accurate, compliant, on-time monthly payrolls for the US, EU, UK, and Japan; serve as the single accountable point for every stage of the payroll cycle.
Produce comprehensive reconciliation and sign-off packs in line with internal controls, including variance analysis, spot-checks, and approval workflows.
Manage query resolution across providers and internal stakeholders with pace and clarity, protecting employees’ pay experience regardless of geography.
Design and deliver regular and ad-hoc payroll and people-cost reporting for HR and Finance: payroll summaries, variance reports, headcount and FTE movements, and starters/leavers analysis.
Maintain expert-level awareness of payroll legislation across all relevant jurisdictions; lead timely implementation of legislative changes in partnership with providers and stakeholders.
Build and sustain a strong controls environment: documented procedures, comprehensive audit trails, periodic reconciliations, and proactive escalation of emerging risks.
Act as the primary operational contact for internal and external audits — producing evidence packs, managing timelines, and closing findings with rigour.
Ensure every payroll-impacting lifecycle event — new starts, leavers, role changes — is executed accurately and on time: final pay, holiday calculations, approvals, and GDPR-compliant record management.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Proven end-to-end ownership payroll, including cut-off management, reconciliations, approvals, and statutory obligations.
Experienced in coordinating payroll inputs and outputs across multiple stakeholder groups (HR, Finance, operational leadership) with precision and professionalism.
Demonstrably strong payroll controls mindset: data integrity, audit-trail discipline, and documentation rigour are second nature.
Confident analytical capability — strong Excel (pivot tables, lookups, data validation) — with the ability to produce clear, narrative-led reports for senior audiences.
Sound understanding of GDPR and confidentiality requirements in the context of sensitive personal and payroll data.
Exceptional organisational skills: able to manage competing deadlines across multiple payroll cycles and operational workstreams without dropping the ball.
Experience coordinating multi-country payroll through Employer of Record arrangements (Strongly Preferred)
