TwoScots Recruitment is excited to be partnering with Brotherhood of St Laurence to recruit a Payroll Lead to join their People, Culture and Engagement team.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced payroll leader who enjoys getting into the detail, solving problems and making things work better. With a strong team already in place and plenty of improvements underway, you'll have the opportunity to build on existing progress and make a real impact.

The Role:

Reporting to the Head of People Care and Operations, you'll lead a team of three Senior Payroll Officers, overseeing day-to-day payroll delivery while continuing to improve processes, systems and compliance.

A key focus will be bringing the team along on the journey, building strong working relationships and creating an environment where people feel supported and confident in their roles.

With a iChris general release & HR21 migration to V6 planned for early next year, there will also be plenty of opportunity to lead system improvements, configuration and testing.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead, coach and develop a team of three Senior Payroll Officers.
  • Oversee accurate, timely and compliant end-to-end payroll operations.
  • Identify and resolve complex payroll issues across systems, processes and pay calculations.
  • Review and strengthen payroll compliance, governance, controls and procedures.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives to improve accuracy, efficiency and service delivery.
  • Support iChris system configuration, enhancements and the upcoming upgrade / releases.
  • Build strong relationships across People & Culture, Finance and other internal stakeholders.
  • Develop and maintain clear processes and documentation to support the team.

About You:

We're looking for someone who brings a strong technical payroll background alongside a genuine interest in leading and developing people.

You'll ideally have:

  • Experience leading a payroll team in a complex environment.
  • Strong knowledge of Australian payroll legislation, awards, enterprise agreements and statutory obligations.
  • Solid experience with payroll systems, including configuration, upgrades and troubleshooting. iChris experience is required.
  • A good understanding of payroll compliance, governance and internal controls, with the ability to identify gaps and implement improvements.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the confidence to investigate issues and find practical solutions.
  • A collaborative, approachable leadership style, with the ability to build trust and bring people along through change.
