Systems & Process Improvement

Standardise payroll processes across the group

Support payroll system upgrades, integrations, and automation

Lead payroll onboarding for newly acquired firms

Stakeholder Engagement

Act as the group's subject‑matter expert for payroll

Partner with HR and Finance to resolve queries and improve workflows

Provide clear reporting and insights to senior management

About You

We're looking for a confident, qualified payroll professional who thrives in a dynamic, multi‑entity environment.

You will bring:

A recognised payroll qualification (CIPP or equivalent)

Significant experience managing payroll at scale

Strong technical knowledge of UK payroll legislation

Experience in multi‑entity or group environments

Excellent communication and stakeholder‑management skills

A proactive, solutions‑focused approach

Experience in professional services or acquisitive organisations (desirable)

What We Offer

A key role within a growing, ambitious national legal group.
Opportunities for progression as the group continues to expand.
A collaborative, supportive finance team.
Hybrid working and flexibility.
Competitive salary and benefits package.
