Full job description

Join a close-knit family of independent optical practices where empowerment, innovation, and unwavering support create a truly fulfilling career experience.

What's in it for you?

Joining the Hakim Group means becoming part of a close-knit family of independent optical practices across the UK and Ireland.

A place where empowerment, innovation, and unwavering support create a truly fulfilling experience. A career that feels like joining a secret club of the happiest eye care professionals.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Senior Payroll Specialist to help shape the future of how we reward and support our colleagues — ensuring every team member across the Group is paid correctly, on time, and with care.

You will also receive:

In return for your expertise and commitment, we're offering:

A competitive salary based on experience and impact
Access to our employee health plan and financial flexibility fund
A rewards portal full of exclusive offers and benefits
A vibrant calendar of team events and celebrations that bring our culture to life

Most importantly, you'll be part of a supportive, growing team where accuracy, care, and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do.

About the Role:

We're on the lookout for a hands-on, detail-driven leader to oversee and continuously improve our payroll operations. This role is all about precision, leadership, and progress — ensuring our systems, people, and processes work seamlessly together to deliver excellence every single month.

As Senior Payroll Specialist, you'll take ownership of day-to-day delivery whilst also driving forward long-term improvements. From implementing smarter workflows and automation to enhancing compliance and accuracy, you'll help us create a payroll function that's scalable, efficient, and ready for the future.

If you take pride in getting things right, love leading a capable team, and enjoy making complex processes simple, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

About our Payroll Function:

Our payroll operation is significantly more complex than a traditional in-house payroll environment.

The team supports:

Over 500 employing entities
Approximately 375 PAYE references
Simultaneous payroll processing across multiple companies
UK payroll operations
Republic of Ireland payroll
Isle of Man payroll
Guernsey payroll
Jersey payroll
Ongoing acquisitions and onboarding activity
Multiple pension schemes and salary sacrifice arrangements
HMRC audits and compliance activity
Payroll transformation and automation projects through our Payroll 2030 strategy

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys complexity, thrives in a fast-paced environment and can confidently operate across multiple payroll disciplines.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and oversee the monthly payroll cycle, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timeliness across the Group.

Manage day-to-day operations, team performance, and workload planning
Act as the main escalation point for complex queries, providing clear, supportive solutions
Ensure all payroll activity complies with tax, pension, and employment legislation
Drive process improvements and automation as part of our Payroll 2030 vision
Coach and develop the Payroll & Benefits team, building capability and collaboration
Collaborate with People, Finance, and external partners to resolve pay and benefits matters effectively
Champion fairness, transparency, and data accuracy in all payroll processes

The Ideal Candidate:

We're looking for someone who brings both precision and leadership — someone who thrives on getting the details right whilst inspiring others to do the same.

Essential:

Proven experience managing complex, high-volume, or multi-site payroll operations
Strong understanding of pay, tax, pension, and employment law
Hands-on experience with iTrent, Sage, and advanced Excel
Leadership experience with the ability to motivate and develop teams
Excellent communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills
Meticulous attention to detail and commitment to continuous improvement

Desirable:

Experience leading payroll transformation or system implementation projects
Knowledge of automation tools, AI, or payroll reporting technologies
Experience within healthcare, retail, or professional services
