Description

Join our Outsourced Payroll Team as a Senior Payroll Administrator!

We are Cintra. Known for our award-winning software that delivers payroll solutions to over 1000 clients. If you're passionate about payroll and are eager to join a dynamic team of seasoned professionals, this is the opportunity for you.

As the proud recipient of the Payroll Service Provider of the Year 2025 award at the CIPP Annual Excellence Awards, we offer exciting opportunities for professional development, competitive bonus structures, and a collaborative work environment.

Our modern offices are located in Hoults Yard, nestled on the outskirts of the vibrant Ouseburn Valley. This area boasts a thriving creative community, rich local heritage, and a lively social scene.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not an entry-level processing role. As a Senior Payroll Administrator, you will own a full portfolio of client payrolls end to end, act as the first point of contact for junior colleagues, and play an active part in keeping the team running smoothly. You sit between the team and the Payroll Manager, trusted to get it right every time, and trusted to bring others along with you.

Key Responsibilities:

Process a portfolio of client payrolls end to end within agreed timeframes, including complex payrolls, manual calculations, and statutory payment schedules
Submit RTI and pension files, process HMRC and third party payments, and liaise directly with HMRC on client matters
Perform manual calculations covering starters and leavers, tax and NI, student loans, pensions, apprenticeship levy, employment allowance, and Small ER relief
Carry out payroll corrections and EYUs, and use imports, reports, and functions to support efficient data processing.
Build and maintain strong relationships with your client portfolio — liaising regularly and holding service review meetings
Act as a professional and knowledgeable point of contact, handling queries and complaints with confidence and composure
Serve as the first point of contact for Payroll Administrators' queries, checking colleagues' payrolls and supporting accuracy across the team
Hold training sessions with junior colleagues on payroll processes and legislation, and monitor their progress and development needs
Work closely with the Payroll Manager to create and improve procedures, and step up to cover the Manager when needed
Take an active role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the team

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a technically strong payroll professional who combines accuracy and rigour with a genuine desire to support others, develop junior colleagues, and contribute to a high-performing team.

Essential

3 or more years of end-to-end payroll experience with a strong working knowledge of payroll systems
Excellent understanding of HMRC legislation, statutory payments, pensions, and auto-enrolment rules
Confident with manual calculations — starters and leavers, tax and NI, student loans, apprenticeship levy, employment allowance, and Small ER relief
High-level attention to detail and strong numeracy skills
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office
Experience training and mentoring junior payroll colleagues, with the patience and communication skills to explain complex processes clearly
An excellent team player who spots the needs of the team and steps in proactively
Confident working autonomously and solving system issues without escalating unnecessarily
Resilient and calm under pressure in a fast-paced bureau environment

Desirable

Experience of holding client service review meetings and managing client complaints
Experience in a payroll bureau or outsourced services environment
Demonstrable initiative in improving or innovating on existing processes

Why Join Cintra?

At Cintra we know our colleagues are our biggest asset and an investment in them is an investment into the company. We offer:

Hybrid and flexible working arrangements supporting your work-life balance
Employer matched pension contribution to 5%
Wellbeing support through our company-funded health plan, health checks and employee assistance program
Onsite parking
And more!

We go the extra mile to strategically invest in our employees by providing them with invaluable learning opportunities to propel their careers forward. Our commitment to continuous employee training ensures that knowledge remains up-to-date, skills stay sharp, and confidence continues to grow. We firmly believe in empowering our workforce with the tools they need to thrive and succeed.

Further details of the role can be found linked in the Job Description. Please note that we do not accept unsolicited CVs from agencies for this position, we thank you for your cooperation. We reserve the right to close this job advert at anytime should there be a high volume of applications.
