• Reporting relevant payroll KPIs and statistics to frontline managers and key business stakeholders to support workforce decisions and cost management.
• Compliance and Internal Controls
  Ensuring compliance with PAYG, superannuation, payroll tax, workers compensation and Single Touch Payroll obligations across all relevant jurisdictions.
• Maintaining accurate employee records and supporting internal and external audits, year-end processes and statutory reporting.
• Systems and Process Support
  Acting as a key user across payroll and workforce systems — Employment Hero, Humanforce, Deputy, Qgenda and NetSuite — including data integrity checks and system reconciliations.
• Partnering with the People & Culture team on the implementation of Time & Attendance and rostering in Employment Hero, including configuration, testing and go-live support.
• Responding to employee payroll queries promptly and professionally, and contributing to continuous improvement of payroll processes and controls.

About You
You bring experience in a payroll position processing end-to-end payroll in a multi-site or multi-entity environment, with demonstrated strengths in award interpretation, GL reconciliation, leave accruals and salary accruals. You take ownership of the payroll function and pride yourself on accuracy, confidentiality and meeting every pay run deadline.

You have well developed Excel skills and are confident across the MS365 suite. You bring a strong working knowledge of PAYG, superannuation, payroll tax, workers compensation and Single Touch Payroll, together with a solid understanding of the relationship between payroll, the general ledger, audit requirements and statutory reporting.

You demonstrate sound professional judgement, communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders, and take a proactive, hands-on approach. You enjoy working collaboratively with People & Culture and bring experience contributing to system implementations, particularly Time & Attendance and rostering in Employment Hero.
