About the Role

As Payroll Business Partner, you will lead the day-to-day operation of the payroll service, managing Payroll Officers and overseeing payroll processing from start to finish. You'll ensure compliance with payroll legislation, manage relationships with HMRC, pension providers and other external bodies, and work collaboratively with Finance, HR and operational managers to deliver an outstanding payroll service.

You'll also take ownership of payroll systems, reporting, policy development and user training, helping to ensure our payroll processes remain efficient, compliant and fit for the future.

Maintain payroll systems, coordinate software upgrades and testing, and implement legislative changes.
Develop and review payroll policies, procedures and guidance.
Design and deliver payroll training and support sessions across the organisation.
Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance payroll processes and systems.

We're looking for someone who has:

Significant experience managing end-to-end payroll.
Experience leading or supervising a payroll team.
Strong knowledge of PAYE, National Insurance, pensions, statutory payments and payroll legislation.
Experience working with payroll systems and supporting system improvements.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with exceptional attention to detail.
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex payroll matters clearly and confidently.
Experience building effective relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders.
The ability to manage multiple priorities while consistently meeting deadlines.

If you're an experienced payroll leader who thrives in a collaborative environment and is passionate about accuracy, compliance and service excellence, we'd love to hear from you.
